It's easy to say violence isn't the answer, but I cannot see how any words would have helped effectively.
True, but by attacking the bully, because he was "defending himself" he still beat the patootie out of the kid. There are other ways of defending yourself, that wouldn't end in violence. Tell an adult, tell a vampire. Run like Forrest Gump.

Why stoop down to the same level as the bully? Hatred and anger fuels the fire on both sides, no matter the circumstance.

I'm not saying the bully should not have been attacked. I mean what I say and I say what I mean.
The victim effectively turned into the bully when he stooped that low. Believe me, I applauded the kid for sticking up for himself but hey.

Every once in a while, some one becomes a bully and another becomes a victim. Everyone has their turn.
