so true - in the future that black guy might think twice before he goes around physically assaulting others.
he settled it when he got up and moved to the front of the bus. the black guy came up and physically assaulted him first, but you are saying the white guy is at fault for fighting back? you are basically invalidating the concept of self-defense. the black guy is the one who took it from a verbal to a physical confrontation.
Wow, I have so much work to do but I actually sat down and read this entire thread. This is the best comment right here: What the hell is wrong with people?
Sometimes physical violence is 100% neccesary... Some people need to get their ass kicked by an old man to find some humility... Sheeeiiiiitttttt, I know quite a few people that would be WAY better off with a good ass kicking, kids included!!!
We dont know what happened before the video starts but the black kid is b****ing about "spit shining a white man's shoes" and the old dude is yelling about "Chinamen." It sounds like the old white guy said something first to the kid that set the incident off. And the old man keeps talking, so it's inaccurate to say he "diffused" the situation, it looked like he was just waiting for the kid to start something. The white guy was a lot bigger and stronger than the black guy. But if you're going to put your hands on a man, you better be ready for the consequences, whoever posted that the kid might think twice before escalating another situation probably is right... just because you're black it doesn't mean you can take anyone else who is white, latino or asian, nevermind what TV says. Of course the alternative is that next time he busts a cap in his ass or pistolwhips someone in the back of the head and stomps his 67 year old ass out to keep from being humiliated again, you never know.
The video is sick, but hilarious. And this thread could have been hilarious, too, unfortunately someone prevented it from being that. durvasa, I usually really like your posts, but in this thread, you do come across like a dork . It's pretty obvious that the white guy is crazy, but the other guy threw the first punch, and he got what he deserved.
Absolutely. Likewise: If Bill strolls through a neighborhood he knows to be crime-infested wearing a friend's gold watch just because he likes to show off the bling, and he gets mugged, it would be pretty obvious that the mugger deserves to be arrested and jailed. In fact, the stupidity of Bill's actions should not have any bearing on the punishment for the crime (the crime itself is not diminished). Nevertheless, Bill was being an idiot and should have known better. Or maybe he was a crazy guy off his meds.
Alright, guilty. But I am all for this thread returning to being hilarious. No more arguments from me. If people continue to ask me questions, I'll be compelled to answer. If people imply I wrote something I did not, I will say so. Beyond that, I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. No.
the white guy walked and sat at the front of the bus after the black guy said something like "get your ass out of my face". that's his way of satisfying the black guy and hopefully diffusing the situation but the black guy kept coming right at him.
But you said he "strolls through a neighborhood he knows to be crime-infested wearing a friend's gold watch " which everyone know increases to likelyhood of getting mugged upto 100% what did Santa do which is similar to that? he spoke with a stranger on the bus? does speaking to a stranger on the bus increase one's likelyhood to get in a fight upto 100%?
We've gone through this already. We disagree on what the situation was, and the extent to which Santa's reactions escalated it from misunderstanding to physical confrontation. You feel he was going to be punched regardless of the words he used or didn't use and that the video proves this. I see it very differently. It appears unlikely we will come to an agreement on this, and most others here aren't interested in the conversation anyway, so I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise. Is that alright with you?
again, it was only a discusssion until DeeJay escalated to a hostile argument it when he FIRST became hostile to Santa then Santa moved to the front of the bus to diffuse the situation then Deejay again became hostile to Santa for the SECOND time what is Santa supposed to do? jump out of the moving bus to avoid Deejay? Deejay kept on escalating things with either his words and actions all Santa was doing was replying/responding in kind.
He was supposed to shut up and not continue to instigate and provoke - that's why his actions were against the law of the state of California.
