Why is it automatically assumed that beating the shit out of him is going to work? You say violence isn't wrong when it prevents further violence from occurring. But it's been my experience that the threat of violence is never really a great deterrent for someone who hits in the heat of anger or is defending him/herself. It just seems like a drastic and unnecessarily barbaric first line of action.

Because in my experience it does work. Back in highschool a really good friend of mine was going out with a shitbag, but she liked him so I minded my own business. I saw her come to school constantly with bruises, I figured it was him but because I wasnt there I did what yall suggest, talk to her, inform the school, but nothing worked.
Until one day I was walking home and I saw him slug her accross the face. 3 broken ribs, a dislocated arm, and a tooth knocked out later, he never laid a hand on her again. I wasn't arrested or charged with anything (mainly because the school had documented proof that they dropped the ball), but it DID take that beating to get that guy to stop.
