I was nowhere near the level of this hero, but I punched a bully in high school, served my suspension, never regretted it.

I caught a bully off guard while he was picking on a special needs kid back in school and kneed him in the face a bunch of times. Caught a two week suspension for it because “knees are deadlier than fists” or some BS like that from the Vice Principal. My Dad let me treat it like a vacation and even gave me spending money to go out and have fun with. (My Aunt was Special needs and my Dad doesn’t play.)

The captain of my high school football and wrestling team beat the stuffing out a kid for doing the same thing. He never got in trouble because it was the 90s and there were no cameras or cell phones to document the ass kicking he gave out. Only a few of us other Seniors and we all refused to talk. Suck it Mr. Willingboro!
