I understand your predicament. It's easy to say sticks and stones but those people don't have to keep living in that environment and you will have to live with the consequences, not them nor their little after school special attitudes. The only thing I can tell is that you have to let that person know that you are not looking nor are you interested in trouble but you will defend yourself and that he knows well enough that you can. Be ready to back those words, too, because I've known kids like that and they are not ones to take warnings. I know you don't want to because you feel you've already won but never be afraid of defending yourself or yours, and honestly it seems to me like this will end up being about you defending yourself.
I presume because whatever the administrator will do, it will result in Anthony being marked as a wuss and a tattletale by his peers, and he will still be in trouble once people of power are not looking.
