    • Funny how it's ok for the young guy to say he'll put his foot up the old man's ass, but not ok for the old man to say he'd slap the shit out of the kid. Guess grandmama missed an etiquette lesson somewhere.

    • " TypicalStereotype

      Hmmm... Is it old vs young?
      ...black vs white??

      No... It's old white idiot vs young dumb blackdude.
      Now let's all stop celebrating this dumb shit cus it's promoting more dumb shit.

      All u middleclass folks hootin on about this shit... Give it a rest. This dumbshit goes on everyday in the hood-- Only nowadays the instigating dumb broads who caught this on their bootleg pay-as-u-go phone..decided to dump this on YouTube.
      Stop promoting Vietnam Tom like he's some war hero. The guys a ghettohood star now..that's it. But he's still a roughneck ignorant fuck that shouldn't be venerated.
      Get a grip on life..."

      "TypicalStereotype" I really don't like you.

      Ha don't take kindness for weakness! The videos flawless! Love it!

    • As depressing as it was to watch two guys act like apes the part where beaten-up-gangsta stands at the front of the bus, staring out at EBM with that mush for face and timidly repeats, "I'll F#$% you up" is just priceless.

    • I loved the part where someone says are you going to press charges? Hell he threw the first punch, and the old guy kicked his ass there after. The guy even walked up to the old guy who had moved to the front to get away from the situation and talk was tick for tat until the kid hit him. That's all it took from the Vietnam vet, I hate to see this kind of crap but fuck with someone you think you can handle and run your mouth, guess what.

    • glad the guy got what he deserves...but if you watch the video the black guy is very apologetic and understandable (quite emotional for some reason too...). Also, the white guy seems a lil cuckoo, now this could be because of his tours in Vietnam so I can't blame him...but it seems like the black guy may be the more civilized, just made a big mistake...something we all do :/

    • People keep calling that poor old man racist...nope...a racist would have said more than "I told you to leave me alone" as he was whipping that black dudes ass.
      Vietnam Tom also quit beating on that guy and left the bus...a real racist would have taken that chance to pummel a black person into a hospital bed

    • Its high time for the current staff to remove offensive remarks, people on this website say things here they would never say face to face. Thats called cowardice. If you wouldn't say it to someones face don't say it at all.
      Just like the guy on the bus

      well i do agree that people do get into alter ego mode on the computer but how can you ever solve problems if you just censor them?You either take the blind/innocent route and ignore it or you take the intelligent/aggressive route and challenge it.Duality is simple isn't it?

      Go to the new york times online or the washigton post online or the boston globe online, in not one can a person attack another persons postings, you may express your opinion but not attack other peoples work. In every instance they reserve the right to moderate postings,They do not allow it to become a discussion forum. You are required to stay on subject or you don't get posted. Here there is nothing, but whiney, confrontational, crap by a great number of people. Some try sarcasim, humor, anger but people never stay on subject it is always diverted to something else. I welcome current to start making this alittle more civil. I don't like arguing with stupid people.

    • I like how after getting his ass beat and bleeding all over the bus, he has the nerve to wait until the white dude leaves the bus to then say "I'll kick your ass" - as if that was going to salvage any dignity...what a douche.

    • Why are people spinning this beard man story to make it seem like the guy that got his ass beaten harassed the old man? The old man told him to shine his shoes, repeatedly, in a condescending, racist tone. I don't think he should have thrown the first punch, though. He could have walked away and avoided a beat down from an old, senile, racist fuck.

      None of us know what was said before the recording started.

      Crazy beard guy might have been spouting some crazy racist stuff we dont know.
      Maybe crazy beard guy was misunderstood by the intoxicated fellow we dont know.

      We do know the way the idiot acted after the video did start and the fool deserved what he got. In the video the black girl recording it is hollering "say it again pinky" and "whip his white ass"...Who's the racist?

    • this is great. I love these type of stories. just the other day in the paper there was a story about a young junkie punk who tried to victimize an elderly man in his 80's breaking into his house and robbing him. little did the little punk know that the old man was a WWII vet with a house full of guns. he started firing buckshot at the little bastard and ran him off. I absolutely love stories like this. Little bothers me more than a lack of respect for elders.

    • What actually funny is after watching the video twice. One bystander on the bus says I got it all on video you should sue or call a lawyer. Something to that effect.
      The black kid regardless of the verbage exchanged threw the first punch. he would be SOL in a court of law. Been there done that, every exchange I've ever been in I actually let the other person throw the first punch, then beat the shit out them. Never been charged, arrested only questioned as to how it started.
      The moral here is don't mess with people you don't know you never know who might have taken marial arts for decades or who is just plain tough.

    • Actually the kid is fifty years old, he just dresses young...you can see both of these guys interviews and sides of the storries on the links posted further down this comment screen. Very informative. You can also see this Vet getting tazered at an Oakland A´s game.
      My names Too $hort but I never sold Cocaine, I used to sell Coca Cola at the Oakland A´s Game. I had flash back, it waz the Oakland Raiders, at the Colesium we ain´t nothing but players...

    • While I always take everything at face value and don't judge entire groups based on a single person, one cannot deny that this video is racially charged. With racial terminology from both the Veteran and the punk, and phrases like "beat his white ass" make this seem like more than an everyday punk encounter.

    • GodsnLiberals:

      So, you're generalizing the whole of a race based on one person.
      I guess since Bush is an idiot, all white people are idiots.
      Or because Hitler was a psycho, all white people are psychos.
      Or because you're a racist, all white people are racists.

      Stop generalizing people and take it at face value.

      how was GodsnLiberals generalizing?

      my black students in Florida once told me "there is such a thing as an N--, Mr Reed. But they ain't just black. They can be white, too. They are just trashy pieces of crap who your Momma would tell you to stay away from. But just 'cause it's a bad word to say don't mean they don't exist".

      In other words, while I don't use the word because it's so racially charged, that kid's behavior kind of categorized himself, didn't it? that punk sure fit the stereotype, but yeah let's not generalize to all blacks. .

      It would have been just as easy and less offensive to say "ignorant".

      However, it wasn't his use of the "N" word that made it a racism generalization, but the context of his sentences:

      "they moved from the back of the bus to kicking everbody's ass inside the bus.."
      "I am sure is what all those civil rights activists was expectiNG."

      Not everyone who rides the bus is ignorant, but there are ignorant people who ride the bus. Those ignorant people can be any color, but we shouldn't based the attitudes of a whole race or demographic of people based on one person's actions.

      Whether or not someone is ignorant, while relevant, is racially charged and inaccurate once you start to use it to marginalize a group of people rather than an individual.

    • I love this video. It should state on his criminal record that he was "owned for being an ignorant prick". My statement has nothing to do with color. You act like a punk, you get treated like a punk.

      even if he didn't have tickets...there was no one around him, it's not like the stadium was packed haha. I think he was acting belligerent, but i dont see it being just that they tasered him.

      Let us not forget you have to have respect for your elders. Old men tend to have faulty censors and it was the younger guy's responsibility to diffuse the situation, but , instead he did the exact opposite and got what he deserved.
