This is just downright scary and it really grieves me to see people like the one below giving the rest of us a bad name. (taken from MSN news on the internet 3 Feb 06)
 NEW YORK - A school bus driver faces child endangerment charges for masterminding a bullying system among middle school students that included a pecking order of abuse, authorities said. Michael Cianci allegedly encouraged students in his “Death Cheese Club” —named for the yellow school bus — to use headlocks on other students and push them around.
Cianci, 38, is a “Star Wars” fan and called himself “Emperor.” The New York Times had its own name for Cianci: “Jabba the Nut” and called his bus “a mini Death Star on wheels.” 
The alleged abuse on the Staten Island route began Nov. 1, until the first complaint came on Jan. 17 when the parents of an 11-year-old boy whose jacket was cut with scissors reported it to school authorities. The scissors reportedly were used in place of “Star Wars” lightsabers. The parents of another 11-year-old boy filed a complaint at around the same time when their son told them of harassment on the bus in the form of headlocks and shoving. 
You've really got to wonder what goes on in some people's heads.
