You have to deal with people on a level they can understand. Some people only understand violence; sitting down with them for tea and crumpets and calmly discussing the problem doesn't do the trick.
According to the article, the kid tried the "turn the other cheek" strategy for 2 years before he went to Plan B. And I bet the bully never fucked with the kid again. Violence should always be a last resort, but sometimes it is necessary.
Sorry if it conflicts with your view of a friendly world full of puppies and kittens and green grass where everyone holds hands and sings in perfect harmony, but it's the truth.
