Billy Boy was just looking out for the best interests of his own people -- bullies.
Right on. One thing I discovered when I was young is that bullies almost always operate from within a group.
If you get them alone and confront them, they're usually cowards.

“Back in my fraternity in college one of the frat brothers was a 6’ 4” 320lb OT on the football team. He was the nicest guy around. Never looked to confront anyone.”

That was me as a kid. The big kid called fat by some, and always had to deal with what I called “Little man Syndrome”. I was only in 3 fights in my life, and all 3 were with someone half my size trying to prove himself to his buddies.
None succeeded, with me anyway.
Actually had someone say in the middle of one of those fights, after I had given the little guy every chance to walk away, and had tried to myself several times, “Pick on someone your own size!”. I was angry by then and spun around and said “How about you?”. They left the scene rapidly.
