Not to be trusted?
More than half the school carries swords and some I wouldn't trust any further than I could hex them.

Care to elaborate, o cryptic one?

I wouldn't trust what is communicated with these machines, for that matter.

Oh come on, it's not like I'm Perez Hilton.

(And let's not question why Matt knows who he is.)

This one's only just recently been sorted and already he's stabbed someone. Also, apparently he is dangerous because he gets pleasure from pain, and was already immortal before coming here.

That's it? He stabbed someone?
Come on, there's a no-kill spell here. It renders everyone immortal so it's not like it's fatal.

Whoever got stabbed should get better at self-defense and avoid the students carrying pointy things.

That's hardly the point. People have a right to live their lives without fear of being assaulted.

That's a very modern idea. Perhaps he's from a time when that wasn't the case.
Besides, this school is hardly a model of law and order.

Judging by the rest of these comments I'm sure culture clash wasn't the problem. Not that that would excuse anything.

It's not a matter of culture, nor is it a matter of excusing any sort of behavior. Frankly, I don't give a damn about either.

The point is, this school isn't exactly a model of law and order. Learn how to defend yourself. The Hat pulls in all manner of lunatic and you can't exactly complain to him to set things right.

I'm sure a noble-minded Gryffindor would offer self-defense classes if asked.

I'm quite capable of defending myself, and I'll agree that knowing how to is necessary, in a place like this. That doesn't mean that anyone who doesn't should be held responsible if someone attacks them.

Every person should be responsible for their own safety, especially in a place like this. If you're attacked, fight back. If you don't know how to fight back then learn.
That way it doesn't happen again.

By 'not responsible' I meant that the victim of a crime is not to blame for it. WHich is what your first comment implied.

I implied that the attacked party should learn how to defend themselves to keep it from happening again. If they choose not to.. then that is their decision and they will have to live with the consequences.

I think it's highly unlikely that anyone would choose not to.

Do you know how much damage Apos did to me? I still have troubles with my arm.

Go to the medical wing and consider it a lesson learned.
Live, grow stronger and fight another day. There isn't a police force to address your grievances to, so I suggest you find someone to teach you how to defend yourself.
