Someone can be brain damaged by a birth accident and otherwise physically normal and you end up with a combination of someone with little or no impulse control in a large overweight and dangerous body. You cannot “teach” someone like this in many cases.
To me this sounds like this is a problem with where the school put him. Placement should have been in place with larger stronger attendants. (It does not sound like Trisonomy.) I will not join with the chorus calling him a Thug, but I will agree that it was terrible for the attendant. Before litigious Democrat attorneys put an end to them, there were state homes for someone like this. (And yes, some of them were riddled with problems which needed correcting.
We made certain that our daughter, who is 38 and has Rett syndrome, and cannot defend herself, was NOT placed in a group home with large and aggressive mentally challenged individuals. Believe me, it is very hard to find these sorts residential group homes with 24 hour a day care.

I went to high skrool with a kid like that. Some of the dirt bags discovered that he would fight their fights for a few dollars worth of drugs. I saw a few people who ended up nearly getting beaten to death. Don didn’t have that filter that said “I’m about to kill this guy, I better stop.” Of course the skrool couldn’t kick him out because he was “special.”
