I mean honestly, who here that went to public schools can remember when anything good came from somebody "tattling"

You stop it any way you can. If you're 300 pounds like this dude was, then a body slam seems like the appropriate response. If not, defend yourself the best you can, but you definitely need parents running to the administration/superintendent/school board crying foul on the bully.

These days there's so much focus on stopping bullying that schools will squash it.

I would want my son to fight back any way he can, but I'd also want to know about it so I could scream bloody murder to the school that the bully be kept away from my kid. And if he got bullied again by the same kid I'd take every step I could to see the kid expelled.

Mommy and Daddy coming to a kid's rescue definitely taints the reputation. But that beats being in physical danger. My son is more likely to learn in an environment where he feels safe but ostracized than one where he feels accepted but in danger.
