...who cares what was said before hand at this point. Like I said before, the contents of the video shows all of the necessary points of escalation, aggression, and aftermath now.daw840 said:
Old man is acting like MANY people would put in that situation and is guilty of not being able to cool himself off after being worked up.

Or he's just like every other miserable poor fuck who can't afford the luxury of an automobile and has to put up with assholes starting shit because they think he's an easy mark.
I know very few persons who take public transportation because they genuinely enjoy it.
Bottom line, don't be an asshole and you won't get dealt with.
Ten bucks says you didn't watch the video then or have a very slanted perspective on the events. He was trying to get away from the situation but still had enough dignity to not take shit from a punk playing the "i don't care about anything dawg but get off my bus and I'm going to fight you" persona.joelseph said:

Even so, what person - if he did genuinely mishear - would ask a black person about a spit shoe shine - then ask how much it costs after he's already been told that he heard wrong.
The guy was definitely egging him on(being racist). There is no reason to say something like that to a complete stranger.

Always good to see racist assholes taken down a peg.
Now if only the girl behind the camera could get hers for egging the other guy on.

Hmm, if he were "trolling for a fight" I really don't think he would have walked up to the front of the bus to remove himself from the situation. He did talk a little shit as he did it, but he certainly wasn't walking as far away from this man as possible to start a fight.
Why cant we agree its just 2 idiots having a go at each other?
Of course theyre gonna bring characteristics up to insult each other. If I fought a midget and got pissed Id probably make fun of his height..does that make me...midgist? Or if I fought a fat dude and made fun of his weight..what would that make me? An asshole yes...just like if I fought an asian guy and made fun of his eyes...would I suddenly be a racist then?
Sorry but to me thats just normal human behaviour and just because you happen to fight a minority and make fun of his appearance, well thats no worse than anything else.

a 65 year who is still built is someone who has been physically active either through manual labour or working out...
these guys you don't mess with period.
yeah he may be rascist but that is not an excuse to fight on a bus.
I understand the black guy's anger... but blind anger usually leads to an avoidable confrontation.
you have an MP3 player on your head... he moves seats... let go and listen to your music
people should learn to LET GO
his anger got the best of him and result in said result

Hmm, watch that video again for me. He got hit first, threw 4-5 punches which incapacitated his attacker, and then got off the bus. Sure, he could have handled the situation differently, but he is allowed to say whatever the hell he wants in this country. Other people, however, are not allowed to throw a punch because of what he said.
That poor girl is the unwitting target of the internet's new obsession.
You're all laughing now, while choking back that silent horrendous thought that one amongst us will turn into a maniacal stalker that finds and harrasses and eventually kills this girl.
Well too bad. I just voiced it.

Yeah but the video has him going away and the other guy coming up and initiating contact. That legally does qualify for self defense I think.
Worked for Buzz Aldrin. Guy just touched him, Aldrin punched him. Judge threw out case.

So much stupid in this video :lol
From stirring up conversations about racism with strangers on a bus, to old people asking for shoeshines and calling people "pinky", to throwing a punch a ta huge man, and finally the people telling the kid he could press charges, when he started the fight :lol

not exacty. to subjugate is to have power and control over someone and this is the basis of racism. racial descrimination, prejudice, stereotypes do fall under the hat of racism but they aren't the defining of racism. i'll give you an example of how real racism works. racism would work like this, china taking over russia and oppressing the ppl of russia for a considerable amount of time. the chinese would have to put the russians in a unrealistic situation were russian ppl are denied education, they're put in an enviroments where oppression is evident and negative enegry is recycled to the point were they alienate one another. the chinese would also have to make the russians accept their religion and gods to further put the chinese closer to the higher being in the russian's mind. as generations past the chinese still being in control would have to oppress the russians through other means, tv, music, and news to continue the capture of the russian's mind so they dont think to do a up rising or some sort. I could go on for days but i doubt gaf has enough bandwidth :lol like i said racism is not calling someone a n word or pinky, that's more or less being prejudice, racism is on a deeper level.
