You didn't answer the question. Again, you said:

I do know places where an act such of this would have resorted in violence and could have brought other students into this as well.

What is the "act" that you refer to? I think it is important to the realization of a fully formed idea that it's constituent parts can be specified. I propose, unless you have some additional points that you have not brought forward, that you are referring to the act of
thoughtcrime.

Your position assumes that you can speak to the internal disposition of an individual, to "see" the bad intent "inside" them.
Again, you can't take action simply because you think someone is being a dick. There has to be a tangible offense.
