You are sitting in class taking a quiz or maybe reading the latest novel assigned for class. There is a quiet knock on the door… your teacher politely asks you to answer the door as your seat is the closest. “Of course” you say… why not? You have nothing to fear… or so you thought…
You open the classroom door to reveal a masked man wielding a chainsaw! In sheer terror you quickly back away, tripping over desks and other classroom clutter, your very life is now flashing before your eyes… you look around for help from classmates, your teacher, anyone! But all you hear is laughter….
Last Halloween a teacher at Tauton High School created the above incident as a Halloween prank for one of his students. The student however did not think it was quite as funny as in the process of backing away from the chainsaw wielding masked man, he injured his knee to the point of needing surgery to repair the damage.
It is still unclear if the chainsaw was real or a prop… but witnesses say that it was running and looked like it was the real thing. There is now a lawsuit pending and both parties are readying themselves for court…
What is really disturbing to me is that not only did the teacher put this together… but someone else (the masked man) went along with it… wow.
