As is, this would make a perfect case study of human behavior and characters developed in less than 2 minutes. Here's what we can do with this if we were to make this into a film:

Characters
1. The grizzled, disappointed-in-society Vietnam War vet provoking a fight by using overtly racist imagery/line of questioning, hoping he is finally put out of his misery by this "gang-lookin' fellow" so he can meet his wife in heaven.

He's definitely racist. He will provoke the fight using the ancient and unforgettable imagery of young African American males shining the shoes of white southern businessmen, and he'll say with a smile. When confronted, he'll accidentally reveal the depth of his bigotry, proclaiming, "I'd let a Chinaman shine 'em too!" He wants a fight, which is why he wears shirts that say "I'M A MOTHERFUCKER" on them.

2. The downtrodden bus boy who just lost his job at the local Home of Chicken & Waffles, only to be verbally attacked by a crazy ol' racist, when all he wants is to make it to class at CSU Northridge because he wants to give his teenage daughter a better life.

Surrounded by four women, two younger ghetto girls, a lovely but as yet-unrevealed young college girl, and an older black woman, he will have to decide whether to swallow his pride just one more time in the back of this sweltering bus.

3. Two hoodrats in the back, hoopin', hollerin', eggin' on both of the men. Yelling out things like, "say it again, pinky!" and "beat his WHITE ass--WHOOP HIS AAAASS!" The ironic nature of their character is that they're basically too young to have any concept of the worlds in which the men they're provoking grew up in. Instead, they're using their modern technology to record this dreadful event. It will be years before they realize what part they played in this fateful day, if ever.

4. The young college girl, lonely and afraid. She's on her way to class too (CSU Northridge too), but just rebuffed the smiling black man who just boarded the bus. ["Isn't he in one of my classes? God, he talks just like one of those Dr. Dre videos my older brother used to like."] Incidentally, it will be the smile/flirt and the rebuff from our lovely maiden here that will provoke the Old Racist Veteran into thinking he needs to be put "in his place."

The entire incident reminds Ms. Lamps why she never should have moved away from Kansas City, but she will excitedly relate the story of a scene "just like that movie Crash!" for years to come.

5. The Older Black Lady - She's done well for herself and would like Mr. Pants-on-the-ground to stop trying to "set us back!" She'd have said something earlier, besides, "leave that man alone," but that old white hippie with the tattoos gave her a funny look she'd seen plenty of times before.

6. The Ambivalent/Pre-Occupied Bus Driver - She's worried about tomorrow, not those two idiots in back. She's seen it all before, a couple heated words, maybe some slaps exchanged, then one party would sadly spill out of the bus at the next stop. If only she could them to stop long enough so she can think about the Court Case she's supposed to appear in tomorrow--some incident from last summer where an Asian lady ("had to be Chinese, since my route went right through Little China last year"). An African American lady apparently filed charges on both the bus company and the Asian lady, but the Pre-Occupied Bus driver was more worried about the footage that showed the bus being above capacity--clearly against policy.

7. The Incompetent Police Man - "man, this shift sucks." It's bad enough he has to wear a bright hazard cone orange shirt, but dealing with some screaming white dude quoting Training Day can't help but make him laugh. More likely, he just needs his meds, but these cute honeys are kinda making things worse. Ah shit, he ran off.

I think my Dad just saw this on Fox news (yeah, I know), but I'm not sure if it's the same one. On Fox, I caught a glimpse of the name San Leandro before it ended.

He has a bag with him that could potentially carry actual shoe shining stuff. Also, they seemed to be already talking when he sat down, and I think either the white guy misheard him or the guy actually shines shoes.

Either way, what a dumb thing to get your ass beat for...

That guy sounded like a redneck, too. Even I know not to try to engage in conversation with a redneck. They don't give a fuck about anything.

Dunno how people have interpreted it but to me it sounds like it went (going of the audio) the black guy walked past the old guy and said something bout a black man shinning shoes...... then sounds like the old white guy took it literally and asked him how much it would cost and the black guy got offended..... shit kicked off.

Old dude seems bat shit crazy though, poor guy.

"china[wo]man" and black lady? Old Beard would have had a field day.


But really, the comment sections in all these videos are just cringe worthy, ugh.

"That man was on some kind of dope... that's why he act like that." -random black lady. I don't know if he was on dope, or maybe he could use some. But, he wasn't right in the head.

Let's be real, he was trying to start shit with that guy. That black dude couldn't say "just forget it." He had to keep it real, with that "get outta my face" bullshit. If the white dude would have got his ass whooped, he maybe wouldn't have deserved it, but he certainly was inviting it.

As a bus operator, I approve of the black guy getting his shit knocked out.

The only person I feel sorry for in the whole situation is the bus operator. Since there was blood, he probably had to wait for another bus, had to file a report and lost his break time. :(

Damn, in all seriousness though.. I wish my grandpa was that agile.

My grandfather and uncle could kick serious ass until they were at least 70 years old. WW2 vets, crazy reflexes (which you wouldn't expect from an old person), hands like stone from years of manual labor, and people forget that older generations actually grew up throwing hands 1-on-1 on the regular, unlike today where it's all about weapons/jumping people.

Only thing I have to add is that I appreciate how in the SF gif the opening punch does the biggest chunk of damage. All the punches are scaled to appropriate damage, actually. I appreciate that kind of attention to detail.

That part makes me lol. It's like "massive jab!" and a chunk of his life bar goes poof. :lol Thing did a Screwdriver's worth of damage. :D

They got his nickname off the shirt "Tom Slick" and the timing coincides with his age. I dunno.

ERMYGERD!
No sound here, but judging by the fact the old dude walked away, I'd say the black guy had it coming and got served.

Edit: That CBS-story is fucking pathetic.

The black guy hardly hit him. I've seen 12 yr old girls throw better punches.

She doesn't even look that great. She's average at best.

Probably just because she's wearing headphones... (it's a fetish thing apparently I don't know, bunch of weird-ass internet people)

I don't think 99% of the bus deserves any sympathy to be perfectly honest.

The old guy was a smug douche, and while he moved seats to avoid a fight, he had a part in getting it to that point in the first place and went overboard in his self defense.

That bus was just a collection of stupidity though.
Click to expand...
Wow. The black guy keeps instigating the old white guy, and as a consequence gets his shit kicked. Suddenly, the entire bus is stupid and the white guy went overboard.

I think this is the girl who was calling the old guy "Pinky" and instigating things. She's not the one filming it.

"Say it again.. say it again say it again pinky. Beat his white ass. Fuck (thumps seat) his (thumps seat) ass. (thumps seat)"
