Naturally, this being MUM management, they not only did not get security guards to watch over him (so that the assault would not end up in security dept. logs which the public can access), they did not assign two guys to monitor him, so that Sem could repeat his assault on another student when his sole watchdog was busy in the bathroom. Substitute the name Bevan Morris or Craig Pearson for the unimportant student who was stabbed with a pen, and the outcome would have been different -- Sem would have been managed if the vic had been important, but he was only a student, a type that counts for nothing at a school where there is no real student newspaper -- do the math... ------------------------ Yahoo!
