Video got taken down, but from what I understand the retaliation was wayyyy over the top and such? I got bullied quite a bit myself in middle school, and I agree with both sides. Violence isn't always the answer, but neither is strict talk. I got rid of my issue by swinging 2 or 3 fists. It wasn't a brutal beat down. I simply got the point across that I wasn't someone else's little rag doll, and that I wasn't going to keep putting up with the abuse.
All this garbage about talking back rarely does anything. Sometimes a fist is necessary. Granted that's not the case for adult situations, but for kids in school I find it completely normal. ESPECIALLY when the bully in question is being physical to begin with. Verbal abuse is one thing, but when the bully is throwing slaps or fists themself, I can guarantee you lecturing them or talking to them isn't going to do much of anything.
EDIT: People are reuploading it to youtube like nuts. Found one that wasn't taken down yet. Yeah, that's not really the kind of retaliation that anyone should say is "good" or necessary at all. Could have killed the kid. Punching him in the gut once probably would have made that little guy never bug him again.
