That's for a reason. Bullies will only understand violence.
I personally don't know any kid who had psychopathic tendencies that grew up to be a respectable member of society. They've all degenerated into drug dealers/enforcers/ criminals or worse.
If my kid is bothered by a bully, I'll defend him by all means necessary and will face the consequences of the failed system, if I have to.
Ideally, the kids should stand up for themselves. Bulliest always go after the weakest ones.
Not disagreeing with your sentiments, but I think stepping back and taking into consideration why the bullying is happening can give better insight and perspective, maybe even other solutions.
Vice had a short video about a kid who was a bully, and as it dived into his personal situation I found that I regretted the first assumptions about him I made when seeing his behavior (despite how wrong it was).

Wasn't there a movie in the 80s in which a bullied kid hires a big brother to defend him. Then the bully hires his own muscle to counter? It ends up in an "arms" race (excuse the pun).
Surely the same thing will happen here, with the gangs benefitting the most.
