Post by: Geminosity on March 02, 2004, 07:47:11 AM: the mental illness was undiagnosed... there was no medication to take.
It happened because the Dean of the education facility made the woefully wrong choice of sending what he then knew to be a person of unsound mind with a tendancy for sudden acts of violence to a public place without any supervision. It's a sad tale and I hope Soapy is ok but it could've been avoided if not for one person's ill judgement -.-

Post by: lolfighter on March 02, 2004, 08:32:23 AM: Maybe neither?

The dean isn't that much at fault, there's a long way from hitting people in the face to stabbing them in the chest. The stereotypical schoolyard bullies that beat you up when you're younger because they are stronger and bigger than you don't all go on to become murderers. Sadly, wanton acts of violence among children and teens have ALWAYS been a part of life - you can't keep half the nation's youth in the stockade. It's sad that it came to this, but nobody could have foreseen it.

In other news, not sure if Soap comes here but very sorry to hear about that.

Post by: BobTheJanitor on March 02, 2004, 11:19:58 AM: LF, that's sort of why I was wondering if this was America. If it is, someone being sued is almost a given. In other countries it's not nearly as likely.
Title: Pieceofsoap's Ns.org Thread
Post by: Sancho on March 02, 2004, 11:31:42 AM: I doubt anyone is going to be sued. The dean isn't a psychologist and so can't be expected to make those kind of decisions. Or perhaps I missed something.

Missed that line. Still not sure I'm placing the responsibility with the dean. Don't know the exact case still. And it's not within my authority.

California, I believe. Chances are I misread, though :-p

My condolences go out to the friends and family of Levi Butler. o_O
