That's the only way to deal with bullies. You do not reason with them. Back in my high school years, there was this kid that the entire classroom picked on. The teachers were completely at a lost. One of the teachers even asked the bullied victim what's wrong with him, that he becomes such a target. Only thing that eventually stopped the bullying was the discipline master threatening to cane anyone involved. As for the bullies though, last I heard a few of them are now working with the police force. One of them in particular, proudly posted on his facebook that he has been assigned to a special task force that's allowed to stop criminals by "any means necessary".
Sure, we can debate the hypocrisies of using violence and bullying tactics against bullies all day, but at the end of the day, deep inside we all know that there is only one way to stop Ted Bundy, Hitler, ISIS, etc.
And a school bully is exactly the same as a serial killer, a Nazi mass murderer and a terrorist group which kills people in especially bizarre and barbaric ways. Ayup.
