This is a video of a bus fight, with racial overtones. Since I can't hear the dialog clearly on my speakers, I can't comment on the racial aspects of their argument.

What I do see is an angry guy who walks right up to another person (having already walked away) and tries to punch him, and is consequently punched repeatedly.

Apparently their ages are 50 and 67.... and they haven't learned better ways to communicate and resolve differences by that age?

As much as I dislike unnecessary violence, I have to agree with this:

The common thread in most comments from people of various background is a similar enjoyment of watching a senior citizen deliver a such a powerful physical assault. His age makes him an unlikely candidate for such behavior or capability. Because he was not the first to elevate the conflict to a physical level, but retaliating, most comments express feelings of pride in the old man’s abilities.
There is also a certain level of humor to the fact that Epic Beard Man’s T-shirt advertises that he is “A MOTHER****ER.”

I'm also a huge fan of 'evidence based medicine'. Not so much the pharmaceutical industry, but other parts of allopathy.:wink:

-------------

I'm saddened and amused that the woman shooting the recording told the bleeding guy that she had 'evidence' in case he wanted to press charges. The bleeding guy threw the first punch! She was sitting there watching it happen. She thinks this evidence will help him?

Edit: Just now realized there is a transcript at the bottom of the page (linked above).

Edit 2: Oops...well this showed up on google news today, for some reason, but apparently this is old news. I missed it the first time around.

I LOVE Black Rage! In the Cartoon the Boondocks on [adultswim] they would call that (flat out mind you) a classic 'Ni@@ger Moment' (DEAR MODS AND EVERYONE ELSE! LOOK for the episode "Stinkmeaner Strikes Back"). So many people blow smoke up everyone's azz about racism but it works in both directions. I would bet the mouthy black guy also said something to make Epic Beard Guy ask him if he shined shoes. To this day there are people in Oakland San Francisco that give Viet Nam Vets and ALL Vets crap about being baby killers. Mouthy black man got taken to school by an older man. I am surprised he didn't get spanked like a child either. He sure balled up after the first punch was thrown. He went to inflict and got inflicted on! Ha Ha! Reap what you sew!
