Perhaps you do not understand why people don't just go and report jackholes like that because you don't understand that simply reporting someone will solve the problem. Say this kid turns out to be the bad kind and he's told on. He's talked to by the Principal, his teacher, and his parents. What if that pisses the kid off? He might beat the crap out of poor old Red, then.
The point is, the systems that are in place don't always work the way you intend them to, because it all depends on everyone following the system. That's like saying "Hey, why don't they report criminals for doing bad things? If they go to jail and get punished, then they'll stop!"
You
know that doesn't work all the time. It's better just to try to accept that people are going to be different, whether it's with religion or action. Just make sure you don't let him push you around, either. Find the balance of words and actions, and you'll be okay. :D
