Md. School Sued Over Attack By Alleged Cannibal

A man attacked by a baseball bat-wielding college student is suing the school where the attack happened, saying it failed to protect the community from the suspect who was later accused of cannibalism.

Joshua Ceasar, 23, was left partially blind after the attack on the campus of Baltimore's Morgan State University in 2012. It came days before the student, Alexander Kinyua, told authorities he killed a man staying with his family and ate the man's heart and parts of his brain.

"In the six months leading up to the attack, Morgan State ignored the escalating warning signs that Mr. Kinyua was unstable and violent and posed a threat to others," said the 20-page lawsuit filed Thursday.

Perhaps we need a new public service slogan that was like "Say no to drugs" How about "Say no to eating other people". Is our society going to Hell or what?

I'm usually against placing blame on someone other than the suspect, but in this case I do believe Morgan State failed to do its due diligence.
