It really is a fucking shame that he was bullied, but he comitted assault. In any case, it seems like the school's administration is the problem here.

Comparing this incident to Columbine is apples and oranges. Klebold and Harris killed 12(?) people that they probably never even knew -- they had graduated several years earlier, and were exacting revenge for what their classmates did to them. They were only standing up to their bullies indirectly, leaving a dozen innocents dead. Klebold and Harris were IDIOTS and their actions are in no way justified.
The 12 year old boy, however, stood up to his bully directly. No one was killed. A much different situation, if you ask me.
