You just never know who you are really talking to.

Or - Never let your mouth overload your ass.

He should have broken the guys arm or legs and cut off an ear so the guy would have a long term reminder of the price of stupidity.

I admire the guy for standing up to the black guy's aggressive behavior. At the same time this fight seems completely unnecessary and both guys did things to escalate the situation.

Seems like there are multiple interviews with the two men involved on youtube as well, which are very interesting, to say the least. Old guy first:

"Michael" The black guy:

seems like a classic case of he said she said. Definitely doesn't look to be as cut and dry as some of the videos would suggest.

thanks for posting the link!

In the interview with Michael (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4I1r3...eature=channel), at 1:55 they play a clip from the very beginning of the cell phone video where Tom says "How much would you charge me for a spit shine?" Things don't seem to have escalated yet, and I feel that significantly changes the context of the rest of the fight.

Funny to watch regardless.

I watched that also. Looked at that part twice and I'm not sure I'd call that the begining. Something happened between the two individuals that got the girl to start filming it.

"Just goin' to get some weed...." what a character.

I wonder how many bus trips # 1 took and bullied pasengers and I wonder just how many people # 2 insults each day. Two folks made for each other.

Karma that they ran into each other?

Yup.
Now if they both would have fallen out of the bus while tussling...that would be must see TV.
