Look, my kid just turned 14 and he's about 6'4 and 205 pounds, not skinny but not fat. He's just a big kid. He's never been picked on or messed with.
I always tell my 'big kid' that if someone is being a jerk to you, consider the source because I know for a fact that he WOULD hurt a smaller kid with his football/basketball training. Looks like that big kid has been around the block a time or two as well. He could have killed the scrawny little puke with that maneuver.
If that were my kid getting picked on I would be heartbroken, but if my kid dropped/hit/slammed a much smaller kid for any reason, I'd be equally upset. No one ever said 'Don't hurt him, he's so much bigger than you.'
Maybe the little twerp deserved it, but more than likely the big kid will be the one who gets in trouble. I'm not saying it's right, just saying that sometimes, things just aren't fair. Violence never solves anything.
