The three roles in every bully-like situation include: The aggressor (group or individual displaying the bullying-like behavior), the target (group or individual receiving the bully-like behavior), and the witnesses (individuals who witness the bullying situation). The witnesses have the most power to diffuse every bully-like situation.  In a typical bully-like situation, the witnesses make up 70%,  aggressor 15%, and target 15% of the population involved in every bullying situation.
