(Warning. The following video contains graphic and vulgar language and images of violence):

It wasnt racial, the shoe shine comment derived from the small luggage case,,,,,the size of a shoe shine kit. The man acted in self defense.

The best part? When the sista was yelling 'beat his white a**' started yelling 'stop it' when the brotha was getting a beatdown! ROFLMAO

A lesson to be learned by everyone, NEVER be afraid to show a bully he's nothing but a closet coward.

I listened closely and how in the heck could you understand what was being said except for the f--- word. It is as bad as going thru a Drive thru and people don't speak plain. Sorry, I can't make a judgment as I could not hear the whole conversation. Sad though!

he got what he deserved and the idiot should be charged with stealing.I bet he wished he sat in the front of the bus. My god he would have killed him if he was younger.

Awesome! That's what happens when young punks think they can intimidate someone. He got exactly what he deserved. I just wish the two girls running their mouths recording it would have also gotten a taste of that "Old white a$$ man". Yet white people are the racists right?

8:51, sad??? Sad for the big mouth dude who got his a** beat! HAPPY for anyone sick of these retards getting away with ruining everything for good people. My hope is that every time a decent person is assaulted by a worthless thug he thinks of this and goes off!!

Now leave it to the yellow bellied liberals to berate the old man as the bad guy, They're the reason thugs walk the street right now. Of course, they're also the cowards who cower everytime the threat of violence appears. Personally I feel sorry for them going through life hiding from their own shadows. Whoops, no I don't, I actually thing they're a joke.

Know what this reminds me of? Can't remember his name but the black preacher who warned everyone about obama, calling him a long-legged mac-daddy and saying white people were going to 'rise up.' Well, the old white man rose up baby!!

I think it's awesome that a 67 yr old man defended himself to the dismay of the younger guy. I don't care if the young guy what white, black, or purple that's one awesome 67 yr old. He can have my back in a bar fight!

LOL How funny! I do not condone violence one bit. However, I do believe 100% in self defense. The older man at least went to the front of the bus to get away from the young one. He made an attempt.
Unfortunately, today's black men have been so emasculated by black women that they feel violence, money & property are the only ways to prove their manhood. I strongly believe that if a male is given respect from the time he is a child through adulthood, then he will stand up in that. But with black women usually being so dominating, there will never be a change. It starts at home.
Mind you, I know there are so many more factors that contribute to each situation. This is just my theory and I know my thoughts cause a lot of controversy but confronting with truth usually does.

10:40, Yeah, I'm sure your "theory" is based on in-depth sociological examination and not what you see on TV. I'm sure this theory is actually based on some hard evidence and not the latest rap video. I'm all for people spouting their opinions (even if I don't agree) but you sound like a fool when you equate your self-professed "theory" as a truth ("...confronting with truth usually does").

Kudos to the man for showing that young punk what is up.

See the pack mentality exist among all ages. Notice the White girl remained in her seat listening to I-Pod. The Black were yelling and swearing. All ages. Jumped up to see the fight or come to their brothers asst.

Then they want to go through his "stuff". This is what Americans can look forward to in certain areas of the country ( City of Salisbury). It is like a cancer and spreading. I have the Kemo-Glock Therapy. Guaranteed to stop the cancer right were it stands. Sorry folks my days of kissing gangsta ass is over with.

Was this shown on any major news networks Joe ??

I love it. This man could be my step father. Now that is barking up the wrong tree. I hate a bully.

(Joe; sorry for a potential repeat, think the captia got me)

11:10, the only ones egging it on were the kids with the camera, and one more male voice heard once. In fact the older black woman was trying to calm things down. Guess you only see the story you want to see. Check your glasses before you load up that gun.

Kudos to the older man. White or black, these young dumb@$$es deserve to get put in their place.

Sometimes it does not pay to try to antagonize or push people's buttons. Pick pick pick. That can of woop a$$ was justified.

The point was they were dumb enough to download the tape and expose just how stupid they are.

Justice at it's best! He says it'll be different next time. He had his chance this time and the old white guy whooped his sorry ass. What a punk. I love it.

11:04- Actually it has been over a period of almost 20 years that I have studied interracial conflicts and interactions in the U.S.
If you were not so foolish, you would check out the studies before opening your ignorant mouth on here. Think before you speak.

Fantastic, simpley fantastic. That brave old man took a bite outta crime.

Outstanding. The punk got what was coming to him. He swung first, and then was put in his place.

2:08, show me your peer-reviewed articles as well as the critical reviews of your work, then I may begin to give some credit to your "theory". I've been black 28 years. I've lived with plenty of black people in rural and urban communities. I've had the opportunity to work, worship, do business, and live life with them throughout this time. So you can shove your pseudo-psychoanalyst crud. There are young dumb@$$es of all races out there doing dumb stuff like we saw in the video. And they all deserve to get thumped. That is the only way to teach some people to straighten up.

You know i'm glad that half of the people who watched this video failed to read the article. It was concluded at the hospital that the caucasian man was off of his medicine and any way you cut it, this altercation was started because the caucasian man instigated the situation by making racial comments towards the African American. In any situation, racial comments are uncalled for and unneccesary. And clearly breaking someones nose and grabbing them by the shirt collar saying, "I said don't f--- with me boy," is not self defense. Self defense would be blocking any attack and possibly restraining them, not beating them to a bloody pulp.

5:32, who cares what the man said. You can walk up to me and call me the N-word today; as long as you don't threaten me physically, I'll probably keep on going. Who gives a crap what some racist @$$hole thinks. But the young dude still escalated the situation AND actually went to the front of the bus to threaten physical harm to the man. At this point, it's time to kick some @$$. Don't make excuses for other people's poor decisions.

-12:03 and 4:34

Anonymous said...

5:32 You couldn't be more wrong. The black guy thought the old guy was saying something to him as he passed by and started all the "why it got to be a black guy" stuff. The old man walked away, but the thug couldn't let the perceived insult go and egged on by the other young blacks on the bus got what he deserved.

And beating a man to the ground after he attacks you IS self-defense. He stopped hitting him after he was no longer in danger.

bet he wont run his mouth again....he got what he deserved!! lol

Rev. Sharpton cant even put the spin on this one. The young black dude got what he deserved. You can't tell what was said before the video started, but clearly the older man tried to walk away. The cheering by the loud black lady is typical. She soon changed her tune when he was getting a beat down. Hooray for the old white dude. 5:32, you are evidentally as bad as he was. Why are you trying to make excuses for this bozo? Just admit, atleast in this instance, that the brother got what he deserved.

Did anyone notice at the end the Older guy LEFT his package on the bus and the young PUNK took it? Did you hear the others saying thats not yours? So not only is this guy a punk he's a theif too.

My analysis:

"Emotional,old, fed up man" vs. "Professional victim,wannabe, gang banger, punk."

My bet is "Pinky" is gong to be the "Bitch" in the gang. MHO

White or Black, this kid had a chip on his shoulder and, got it knocked off.

Moral of the story:
Learn to walk away.

Anonymous said...

Black dude got a beat down. He started it. He went up and hit the 67 year old first. The white man did get up and walk away at first. The person recording comitted theft. Took the white guys bag and even said "Go through it" Typical. This is great video. Thats for showing us just a fraction of what happens.

i watched this 10 times in a row, great stuff! "bring amalance" thats how he said it lol dude got his bell rocked! home boy didnt have his homies to help him out. thats how most blacks fight.

Brotha on the ground, Brotha on the ground, blood in his mouth, nose turned sideways. looking like a fool while he's laying on the ground.

The man walked away form the situation before it got worse. Obviously the African American bully thought the man meant something racial when he made the comment about shining his shoes. I think the White man made it perfectly clear to him that when he said he wasn't scared of him that he meant that. Homeboy should have kept his a$$ in his seat and his nose wouldn't have been "Leaking".

8:44 what the hell are you talking about "cheering of the loud black lady".The older black woman tried to calm the situation and tell the black dude to sit down.The only cheers were from the KIDS with the camera.

1:33am "thats how most blacks fight"
You must just be pissed that you got your butt whooped once or twice. Can your generalizations.

Words are words and they don't mean nothing. The black guy engaged the OLD white guy first but the funny thing is the he messed with the wrong OLD white guy and got his butt kicked. The black guy did get what he deserved.
