he should just go apologize immediately and hope no charges are brought up.
if it was a student of mine they would already be kicked out of school. After all these school shootings, student aggression is nothing to play with. |

Yeah apologise profusely and hope the guy takes it on the chin.
In your situation I'd probably just suggest that to him, it sounds like he's learned his lesson via being freaked out. |

Charges for what? All he did was say he'd kick his ass in a moment of rage if he did a thing like that again.
Hardly a need to bring the legal system into this :rolleyes:
He should just apologise. An apology goes a long way. |

And buy some flowers. And clean his teeth and clear his throat =/
That's a pretty bad move. |

I'm sorry professor. I just had a rough day. My older sister, she just attempted suicide last night. My father, who abandoned my family before I was even born, visited me last week to say hello. His girlfriend looked so much like my mother. She apologized to me in secret on his behalf. I've just had all this pent up rage.
And I just pieced it all together before class. My mother is my sister. My sister is my aunt. His girlfriend is his sister and my mother. fml |

Isn't assault a crime?
I googled this,
An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability. Generally, the common law definition is the same in criminal and Tort Law. There is, however, an additional Criminal Law category of assault consisting of an attempted but unsuccessful Battery. |

I don't think an email apology will do it for a Japanese guy. I think he needs to go see him and apologise unconditionally in the most intense honorific Japanese he can muster and some very deep bows.
I think you;re doing the right thing Lira. If he's normally a good guy and a good student you should try to help him, but at the same time make sure he's really learned his lesson.. this guy really needs to grow up and get a grip on his emotions. |

He didn't assault him though and he just somewhat threatened him in a moment of anger. Hardly cause for legal action.
