Under ordinary circumstances I would agree. However kids that bully a handicapped little girl deserve a taste of their own medicine at the very least. If the school had done its job and protected his daughter from her tormentors he wouldn't have had to take matters into his own hands.
Thankfully as you can see from all of the comments supporting the father both here and in the original article, most people aren't sticking up for the little bullies like you are. It gives me hope for society that apparently most people still have common sense enough to recognize who the real bad guys are in a situation like this. Since you seem to have difficulty, I will give you a hint. It is the bullies who terrorize a handicapped child, not the child's father who is trying to protect her.
Endeavor to be honest. I haven't mentioned the bullies or their actions in any way, let alone stood up for them.

A simplistic view that presumes that if the bullies are bad guys than dad is a good guy. Which is of course a completely false dichotomy. Obviously, there are bullies here who are bad guys, and who need to be dealt with. Obviously, dear old dad crossed the line and became a bad guy who will be dealt with. Doesn't seem to be a shortage of bad guys in this scenario.
