  1. This is an edited down version of his side of the story. The REAL COMPLETE version actually does show him in a different light. Also, if you actually show the post-fight interviews of the Epic Beard Man, you’d also see this situation in a different light.

    Epic Beard Man has a history of starting sh1t. In his post-fight interviews, he’s still itchin for a fight and frankly telling lies. I was totally on the old man’s side in the original video, but after seeing the ensuing videos and learning the truth about the old man, I’m not so sure Epic Beard Man is so innocent.

  2. Sander, I agree there’s obviously a lot more to the story here. Frankly, both of them should have just walked away.

  3. He sure does talk differently when being interviewed by a friendly radio station. The female host was DEFINITELY on his side, talking him up.

    You can edit a video to lean one way or another, both parties share in the blame. The thug dude got up and went LOOKING for trouble, but he was probably baited by the old man.

    I’m still glad the thug god his @$$ whipped!

  4. It’s America:

    You’re allowed to talk shit.
    You’re allowed to get angry.
    You’re not allowed to follow a man to the front of a bus where he moved to and hit him.
    You’re allowed to beat the shit out of someone who attacks you.

  5. The old guy lied in his interview and his crying was BS. The black guy lied and was tossing out a lot of “I’ll stick my foot up your ass” comments to be Mr. Innocent. Both guys were selling wolf tickets and pushing it till they got what they wanted. Be careful what you want they say. Sometimes you get it….

  6. no matter what words were flying in the bus, when the brother left his seat to attack this old man he got what he asked for .

  7. I would have to agree 100% with sander, I watched the first two videos and assumed this man was telling the truth and in the right, but after looking into it a little more, I don’t think either party was in the right. The old man was egging this guy on and unfortunately he responded like most people would when racist or prejudice remarks are being made about them. It got out of hand pretty fast and was over just as quick lol

  8. @-Don…I had never heard the phrase “selling wolf tickets” I Googled it, and now understand it. Thanks for using it.
    I learn something new every day.

  9. Sander summed it up well.

    I don’t think I’m on anybody’s side in this. Both are trouble, both were looking for trouble, and they got it.
    And they’ve both achieved that New Great American Dream…to get a couple of minutes to prove their assholeness and lack of sense on YouTube.

  10. Yup DJ, the only way that I’ll be on YouTube is when I dance with our Mikey F. at the BABBQ. I hope that neither one of us…prove our assholeness. Gulp. I love that word! 🙂

  11. why, oh why, when certain individuals are describing a group of people, and one of them is of African American descent, does the description often read something to the effect of(in this case):
    “an old guy and a black guy”
    Why not:
    “a and old guy and a guy with braids.”,
    or:
    “a bearded guy and an unbearded guy.”?

    Why the need to point out race when it comes to non-caucasians?
    Ive heard this many a time, and wonder why. For those of you who have done this, could you shed some light?

  12. Huh, I’ve never heard the term “selling wolf tickets” either. Learned something new.

    Anyhow, yes both people lost their cool that day. Neither was right. But we judge people by how they pick themselves up after making mistakes and in that light, Michael was a lot more respectable. Look we all either have done or know people that have done stupid shit while drunk and Michael was admittedly drunk. We don’t hold that opinion of ourselves or our friends forever. What we do is look at their behavior after the fact to determine what type of person they really are.

  13. It has to do with what is most commonplace. In my workplace, most people are black. If they try to identify someone who is not black, they immediately identify their perceived race.
    When I go to a place that’s predominantly asian, they do the same thing with people who aren’t vietnamese or korean.

  14. @LOL – why not “an old guy and a black guy”? They are just words to describe the two; no difference than using “a bearded guy and a guy with braids”, they’re just descriptive words.

    Old guy described himself as 67, plenty of people would consider that an old guy.

    black dude is black.

  15. Yeah you can take that too far…around here, some of the PDs won’t use race when they’re asking the public’s help in finding the perp of a crime…They’re looking for a “6′ male in his 20s with black hair, dark eyes, and a dark hoodie”…It could really help to use race as an identifier…might narrow the field a little?

  16. I always thought it was funny and frustrating when in a sport like boxing they identify the boxers as the one in the white trunks and the one in the red trunks instead of simply the black guy and the white guy.

  17. LOL, in many descriptions of these two guys I’ve seen them called “the old white guy, and the black guy.” Now that’s age and race discrimination against the old white guy. That’s racist. Sorry Infi, beat you to it.
