Stick to your principles my friend. I agree with them, however i do have a comment.
Sometimes you just cant turn your back on violence. Its here and very much a part of everyday life - unfortunately - and most kids these days seem to accept it as a normal way of life. Demonstrating against it or trying to ignore it sometimes helps, but not allways. It wont go away and one day maybe someone is faced with the fact of either defending themselves or being either killed or seriously injured, just because the idiot your facing wont listen to reason.
In my post before, i mentioned that violence in my experience isnt the first answer, which i stick by. But if talking or reasoning dosnt work and obviously this guy cant just turn his back because his enemy is at the same school, then what are his alternatives? ITS NOT WRONG to defend yourself - let me make my views on that known - and i hope they come to an amicable solution. I just hope he dosnt get himself in the same predicament again and has learned something by this experience. After all, he did provoke a reaction - however innocent it was supposed to be - and now has to sort it out.
Peace
