Well of course they didn't because the internet didn't exist as it does nor were there bad faith actors like GBNews trying to stir **** up.To be fair there were a couple of attacks at/near my school back in the late 80's but they didn't seem to get on the news back then. On one occasion a well known school bully stabbed a couple of other pupils in an underpass on the way home from school. On another occasion someone put acid in the science teachers lunch. I went to a reasonably good school too.
