1. the adults don't want this to happen again
2. the only leverage the adults have is screaming and administrative threats
3. screaming and admin threats work well on you, the victims in this interaction, and not at all on the perpetrator
4. the adults therefore use the only leverage they have against the only relevant agents receptive to it
5. a just outcome is not in their eyes at all. None of them are willing to be immediately exiled for sufficiently and immediately punishing the perpetrator, who is of a higher caste than any of you. All they can hope to achieve is to put you on edge enough that you avoid any more accidental provocations.
