I really think that while what you say is true in certain circumstances, in my "suburban school" when bullies finally have to defend themselves, they often stop after bullying that fight. Some people respond differently to violence, but I think if I ever have kids I'd prefer not to live somewhere that I have to worry continuously about "Jesus and Jose and their 20 cousins and homies" pilfering, assault or worse to a future child over a few bruises.
