Let's set the new month off with a nice stabbing

Fresh off the Press:

I know i'm a couple days early of october, but i'm in the mood after a horrific migraine plagued my fuckin' soul all day. I'm back in school and have TOTAL access to computers, because my tuition bill says so.
On that fine note, i noticed a recent post on AP's blog that reported about the recent priest stabbing by an individual who had just watched The Da Vinci Code. Now, there's no need to bite that shit, if you want to read more, go to my links and punch away on Actual Pain.
Instead, i present to you a news story from the quiet hills of South London:

Girl pupil stabbed teacher in face with pen
A pupil stabbed a teacher in the face with a pen after storming into school because she blamed her for being expelled.
9/26/2008

The student, who has not been named, attacked her maths teacher in front of staff and pupils at the Westwood Language College in Upper Norwood, south London.
She ran into the classroom and launched the assault - even drawing on her teacher's face with a marker pen.
The girl's mother had rung the school to warn staff earlier in the day that her unruly daughter was on her way in.
The teacher was hospitalised by the attack, but the ex-pupil only received a police caution.
A 15-year-old girl, who witnessed the incident, said: "She just went mental - the door flew open and she ran at the teacher. It was horrible - everyone was screaming.
"That girl is a complete psycho but she's really strong. She was on top of the teacher - no one could do anything."
Two male members of staff dragged the teen off the teacher as she punched her in the face and body, pulled her hair and drew on her face with a marker pen.
But when police were called the student - who had previously been transferred to another school for bad behaviour - was issued with just a caution after the incident last Friday.
A parent whose 14-year-old daughter attends the school said: "It's a disgrace - this girl should prosecuted. She's clearly a threat to all the girls. How can she only get a caution - the teacher ended up in hospital for heaven's sake."
The pupil is understood to have been angry at being excluded after being accused of attempting to steal the same teacher's keys and mobile phone.
One unhappy teacher claims nothing was done to stop the girl confronting the victim.
"Why was nothing done to prevent this? The school knew this girl was on her way and they didn't take adequate measures to prevent this. It's disgraceful."
It was revealed the girl was transferred to another nearby school earlier this year because of her behaviour - but was booted out three weeks later because she had 'no respect for authority'.
A police spokeswoman confirmed they attended the incident.
The spokesman said: "A girl was arrested for assault on a woman causing bruising to the head and abrasions to her leg.
"After a thorough investigation, she was given a final warning for this offence."
Headteacher Margaret Hedley: "I can reassure parents and pupils that the school has robust policies in place to deal with such incidents and we have already taken further steps to further improve security by actioning the installation of electronic gates."
