Anyone can crunch someone else who is totally stationary and totally erect when they have a 30-50 foot run-up.

he was talking about his technique which was pretty solid.

I am about 255 lbs also. I play a lot of sports with the other guys at work. All the 180 lb guys who were "athletes" in high school are always amazed that they can't post up against me playing basketball. I am heavier and stronger but I guess because I don't look "ripped" the laws of physics should not apply to me (according to them).

My paint skinny! Get out!

That may very well be the case but I'm not sure why the entire crowd to would rush to his aid if they participated in the bullying as well.

For the same reason that people riot over sporting events: groups of people tend to be stupid. Intelligence doesn't seem to be as infectious as stupidity. In close proximity, the effects of stupidity seem to increase exponentially. Intelligence only has a linearly additive effect.
It's the old herd mentality too. "Oh look, a fight! Should we question its merits and causes, or just watch and cheer?"

If you watch the slow-mos over, you can see that the kid's chin gets wrapped around the guy's shoulder/back and it looks like his jaw smacks the charging kid's back. I wouldn't be suprised if he knocked up some teeth or bit the hell out of his tongue.

Maybe - that kids head got rocker forward and then rocked backward when he hit the gorund. I wouldn't be surprised if the kid got concussed.

Coming up high, you can give another player a concussion. Coming down low up through the body, you can break ribs, bruise organs, AND give another player a concussion. ;)
