I'm not condoning the attack but everyone has their limit and this person overstepped another person's limit, so he snapped.

A point which was denied and never proved. But still, let's beat every child who had been a bit naughty in class, that'll show 'em.
This boy had apparently been playing sword fights with another student, when told to stop he swore at the teacher. Now, that is certainly not something I would ever condone my two boys doing, but it may have been an unguarded response. I would fully expect my two children to be appropriate;y punished at school, not to mention the trouble they would be in when they got home. But beating them over the head with a three kilogram dumbbell can never, ever be justified, no matter what the provocation.

Let me state for the record AGAIN!
I do not condone what Mr Harvey done, what happened to that young man was inexcusable but. How much verbal & mental abuse should one person take especially if that person was known to be in a fragile state of mind? |
But that is exactly what you are doing, your posts on this thread are testament to that.
