    Default 67 year old Vietnam Vet gets harassed by a punk on the bus

    Has anyone seen this video yet? It has a 67 year old vet getting harassed and then beating the shit out of some shit-talking hoodrat. Pure awesome.

    Someone sent me this link a week ago, fucking hilarious. I love the interviews of Vietnam Tom, apparently a few days later. Hes become something of a hero in that area.

    It seems the girl with the camera and the punk were looking for someone to rough up so they could have it on tape. The old man flipped his script.

    Heres the clip of the interview. He sounds just a little bit out there. I cant tell where the truth ends and his stories begin. I didnt see a knife and that punk looked way too young to have spent 18 years in the can for murder.

    Epic Beard Man, certainly has captured a ton of interest. The internets have been burning up with EBM meme since the thing hit Feb 16th. The racial discussiona all follow down the same stupid paths, so nothing new there, but the thing that is new is the facination with all things Epic Beard Man.

    All sorts of people are assigning a myriad of attributes to EBM. Hero. Villian. Spokesman for Vets/crazies/homeless/drug users/americans. Pick a thing and EBM is it. He has become an empty vessel for the world to fill up with their hopes. Just like they did with Mr. Obama. Rightous, moral, pure, brave, forthright, clean ... last year Mr. Obama became Mr. Everything to Everybody... now it's Epic Beard Man. The man with a one-two for the ages.

    Black Betty Amber Lamps. That was classic.

    On the second video, what did I miss, why was EBM holding up a stack of cash? I missed that part of the story.

    The EBM video is the only video that I've ever shown that EVERYBODY seems to think is funny. To quote a friend of mine ... "Everyone loves it when someone talks shit, and then gets their ass kicked".

    He seems old to me - certanly not what I would call a punk - and then I thought I heard him respond that he's 50 years old.

    The "Hero" comes off like a homeless nut job.
    And the "Punk" now seems like a straight-up nice guy?

    This second clip is a good example of what was being discussed in http://www.detroityes.com/mb/showthread.php?t=4823

    I think they're both nuts lol. I wonder why people who can't fight, always want to pick fights?

    Wow, the second video really spreads a different light on the whole ordeal. I didnt realize white dude asked him to spit shine his shoes. The first video seemed to be edited to favor the Vet.

    i agree...looks a little older than a young street punk. but did anyone notice that the girl shooting the video took a brown paper bag after the vet got off the bus? was it hers or the vets? seems to me, she was encouraging the "punk" too fight calling the vet "pinky"

    From the start of first vid, by famed loud-mouth Iyanna Washington, we see EBM and Michael engaged in a conversation. One can assume the conversation must have already been 'animated' otherwise Ms. Washington never would have bothered to turn on her cell phone camera.

    Ensuing vids point out that EBM was sitting the front of the bus discussing his plans to attend a funeral. We can reasonably assume that EBM's conversational volume control is set on 10; hence before the vid rolls, Micheal gets on the bus and because he is drunk has to wrestle the bus fare from his pocket. While Michael is finding the fare, he is listening to Loud Mouth EBM talk about his Stacy Adams.

    Tom, of course is guiless and has no concept of being prejudice regardless of the language used. Tom annouces the his 'boy' has offered to shine the Stacy Adams; Micheal has heard enough and lets slide a vaguely sarastic comment which Tom - being without guile - mistakes for an offer to shine the Stacy Adams, and he follows Micheal to the back of the bus.

    That's when the video kicks in.

    Once EBM figures out there is not spit-shine in the offing, retreats to the front of the bus. Then egged on by Iyanna Washington, Micheal returns twice to taunt and challenge EBM, except the second time he love taps EBM.

    We don't know what harm was done to EBM, but we certainly know the fury unleashed. A major beatdown ensues and the whole world is happy, except Micheal.
