The system in general sympathizes with assholes more than innocents. Criminals, bullies, etc. For the sake of rehabilitation, the innocent are test dummies.

I was bullied a bit, and at one point I remember fighting back and hurting the kid more than he'd hurt me.

I remember getting hauled into the principal's office for the better part of an hour in middle school. Dude interrogated me about what exactly happened and tried to get me to see it was wrong.

At some point the following exchange happened:

"What do I have to do to keep you from hitting him?"

"Well if he does it again, I'll hit him again. It's his choice. *shrug* Just stop him and I won't do it."

Cue another several minutes of the principal beating his head against a wall and running around in circles with me. I'm still proud of that particular reply, since it's the same one I'd give today and I was rarely that confident as a kid.

The best part of it was *that* was what finally made sure they kept the bully in line. It taught me a very valuable lesson: Make it more work to mistreat you than to treat you well. If the easiest path is to respect you, then they'll generally do it. It works in my social life, in my professional life, with family, etc.
