Student Stabs Teacher and is Let Off Scot Free
This just puts the whole legal system out of whack for me.
A decision to drop charges against a 10-year-old yob who admitted stabbing a teacher in the chest with a pencil and assaulting two other staff was condemned last night by teaching unions.
The 38-year-old male teacher, who was left bleeding and in pain, had come to the aid of a woman colleague who had just been kicked by the boy in class.
It was the third time the baby-faced pupil, who cannot be named for legal reasons, had assaulted staff at the primary school in Blackpool, Lancashire.
Honestly I’m not even sure I can make light of this. Let’s go over some stuff here. OJ Simpson stabs his wife, walks away. Plaxico Burress shoots himself in the foot and goes to jail for way longer than he should. Jayson Williams murders someone and is still free to get drunk and crash into poles.
This kid ADMITS to stabbing his teacher and has zero punishment? There are some things that life simply cannot explain and this is clearly one of those things.
I don’t care if he’s ten. I mean Jesus, at least give him a spanking. Yay I threw in some humor!

The point is that if I had some little effer try and stab me with a pencil, you better believe I’m dropping him before he does. Try and stab me, you little SOB and believe me you’ll never try again. This teacher got stabbed by a 10 year old and this kid also assaulted two other staff members. What’s the punishment? Nothing. (Uncoached) [...]
