Can't someone just eat the stupid Hockley kid and it would be fine by this world's definition of law? Why is this even an issue?

Because people thought it was a herbivore who did it, and they are not allowed to be violent towards either their killers or each other. If they cannot flee for their lives they must simply accept that they are going to be violently murdered, as otherwise they will go to jail for killing a fellow being.

Anyway this is stupid as hell because it still doesn't get the teacher off the hook for allowing a massive bullying problem to exist, and yet this twist is obviously supposed to absolve any and all "good" characters from blame. (Also, how the hell do they know it's the kid's account? This is so stupid.)

No, that's Margo's assistant's job. Margo's job is to pretend to be in charge for five minutes until she gets bored. Then she'll either go back to one of her other businesses and pretend to be in charge there for a while, or start a new one.

Seriously. I know people like this, and can't stand them. They could be viewing the most beautiful, perfect in all respects "thing", yet they focus on finding something, which could be (and usually is) incredibly minutely, "flawed" about it, and then inflating that to stupidly huge proportions. It's like their hobby or something. They can't loving breathe if they're not worrying constantly about something, too. I had a project manager like that. He'd completely disregard the 99.999% perfectness of the project and focus in on the 0.001% like it was going to end the loving world.

I also worked for a Controller who spent >$25K in resources to find a $1.20 error in end of year figures. It was never found. The CEO fired him when he found out. Whatever.

Jesus Christ. I am not trying to turn this into Business Chat Thread, but this is why I love Chief Dharma so much: it nails all the little details in painting a picture of what a kind, benevolent, but ultimately human superior would be like. The ability to mine comedy out of someone being a decent individual is pretty rare, but the desire to do so is universal.
