One thing Walter forgot about


Why didn't he go after the student called Chad, who made fun of him in the first episode when he caught him washing cars? That was a horribly cruel thing to do.

That's the thing that set him off in the first place, otherwise he really may not have quit that job.

How come he "took out" so many people but not that rotten kid...

He wasn't really assertive or confident enough at that point to "go after" or "take out" chad, as he did later on with others, as you correctly point out. But I think Chad helped motivate him to get more out of life.
