No sarcasm, when I went to school in the 40s and 50s anyone that tried to stop a fight would have got the shit kicked out of them by the onlookers!

You know damn well an adult would have stopped the fight if they had been around. Kids, no, but an adult, heck yeah.

Also, when one person is down, it's over. Unless that person gets back up and wants to go more. The attacker likely sucker-punched or sneak-attacked the victim to begin with, then continued to beat the victim's head into the ground. This was attempted murder, not a "fight."

I've stopped plenty of fights in my time and and onlookers never once tried to jump me. They've just looked ashamed or embarrassed and walked away.

Sounds like your school was filled with violent sociopaths just like the one in this story.
Also understand that the term “fight” implies mutual combat by willing participants. “Bullying”, by contrast, involves one or more sadists and an unwilling victim.
