Dozens of people were taken to a hospital from a high school on Monday after a student exposed them to what he claimed was an "insecticide" spray, police said.
None of those affected are thought to be seriously injured, local police in Zama, Kanagawa Prefecture, said. The student at Sagami-Koyokan Senior High School told the police he "jokingly sprayed" the substance, they added.
A teacher at the school in Zama called the police around 10:45 a.m. Monday after people fell ill when they were exposed to the student's spray.

I read an article about a tiktoker that sprayed insecticide on foods at a supermarket claiming its just a PRANK.

He really used toxic products. It's not for fun. A prank would have been to spray clean water with a little soap for smell and claim that was insecticide and let targets panick a few minutes before telling them.

A high school senior with this purile mentality isn't going to go anywhere anyway. Maybe one day he'll understand how stupid he was.

The police should "jokingly" put him in jail perhaps he would get the full understanding of his "jokingly" actions.

A long time ago and far away that would have resulted in the Birch and Borstal.

How so? Kids here don't get punished. Heck, the school probably has to apologize to HIM, and those who fell ill have to sit with him as they all (including the kid) discuss how they were wrong to do and react how they did before he is given back his "right to an education".
