They will continue to be treated like shit. What should a in a wheelchair do?

Use a screwdriver

Right. Like a dindu, and end up in jail? Not much of a solution.

If you can only do it like a dindu and end up in jail, good riddance.

Okay. What's a way to "use a screwdriver" (!) and not have that be a likely fate?
-
Defensively, non-lethally, unrepentantly, etc. Dignity without antagonizing whatever authority appears, honest explain. Smart kid could shame them for leaving him into that position. Maybe impossible in US if insane as internet says, fleeing (from school and US) priority then

If your attitude to bullies is "nothing I can do, I will be crushed regardless" then get ready for plenty of bullying. Others do manage, even the manlets, to figure out how to do more than absolutely nothing to change their victimhood.

Weapons, avoiding the situation, or bringing in others/government

Like I said, the people who think in these terms should be unsurprised when bullied.

Giving yourself more options to deal with your adversaries is one of the most important parts of growing up into a mature adult.

It's all very context-dependent. Whether and how to respond to violence, whether you can seek support from teachers, and the particular proclivities of the bully all matter. Asking for the answer in a tweet is the wrong mindset: figuring it out is the process of maturing.

So easy to say. You're just offering platitudes. "Figure it out." Magically? Okay. Give me one practical example: a weak, intellectual kid picked on by ALL his classmates, year after year. And the answer can't be a dindu solution that puts him in juvenile detention or prison.

You could easily construct a hypothetical where the kid has no options, and then you would be right to conclude that nothing can be done. Life isn't a hypothetical where we have to accept the premises that nothing can be done, that there is no escape. Don't give up.
