Mr. A is accused of threatening Mr. B, a middle school student in the same class who was bullying the child of the woman he was dating, with a golf club on May 20 last year. When the school did not take appropriate measures regarding the school violence issue involving Mr. B, Mr. A went directly to a middle school in Gangseo-gu, Busan, and shouted "Who is B?" in the hallway in front of Mr. B's classroom.


Even after being restrained by a teacher and moved to the counseling room, he entered the classroom where Mr. B was and threatened him by saying, "Where is the knife? Why did you throw it away?"



The court stated, "Even if there was a school violence issue, the act of directly bringing a golf club and entering the classroom during class time is excessive," and added, "Considering that the defendant has a history of several fines, the sentence was determined accordingly."
