What a relief that Insaney is back at school.

Tell me he doesn’t have to share classes with the idiot who did this to him??

No he doesn’t. The idiot was expelled fairly soon after the incident. Apparantly, he’d been making more trouble, and teachers had complained, and so he was swiftly expelled from school

> **Insaney** is doing fine. The injury’s not fully healed, and doctors think that there’ll always be some residual damage associated with it, but only time will tell. He’s back at school, and studying hard for his A-Levels, trying to catch up with what he’s missed, hence the reason he’s not on the boards at all at the moment. But he is OK.

The sentence: six months community service, having to pay £500 in damages, and ordered to go to anger management classes. Hopefully, this might help him, and he won’t turn out to be a totally fucked up member of society.

I guess that this is the best possible outcome that was workable in the real world. I’m especially glad that the scumbag has to go to anger management classes, I hope they do him some good. And I’m relieved that your brother doesn’t have to go to school with him any longer.

It sucks that your brother might have some permanent damage, though. I’m really sorry to hear that, I was hoping that he’d beat the odds and have a full recovery.

I would very much like to have a working crystal ball, so we could look ahead, oh, say five years, and see where these two young men are then.

I’m betting, **Angua** , that your brother will have overcome whatever residual damage the attack caused, and gone on to a stellar academic performance; he’ll be well on his way to achieving a fulfilling, honors-laden career in his chosen field, surrounded by friends who admire his character as much as his intelligence.

The attacker? A charitable wish: he learns from this, comprehends the ugly wrongness of what he did, and lives down the shame of his attack, though the guilt of it never leaves him. More likely: he goes on lashing out, and being bailed out by mother, until her best efforts can’t save him from prison. She may even find him turning on her.
