Original video here.

67 year old man (now known as "Epic Beard Guy") throws an world class beat-down on transit thug who hits him first.

Absolute MUST SEE TV. Note the hillarious inscription on the old guys shirt.

I ran into this via AR15.com last night when it only had a few hundred views, now it's gone TOTALLY viral and is sure to become internet lore. If you want to see how viral, just Google Epic Beard Guy.

If you want a few hours of laughs, the AR15 thread is HILLARIOUS

A lesson learned.

Never bring a jive talkin punk to a fist fight.

OR

When a big white man walks away from you, don't let a loud mouthed sista goad you into following him down the aisle.

TRANSCRIPT:

Black man: …AC Transit
White man: Let’s get back to business. How much you charge me for a spit-shine?
Black man: what?
White man: How much you charge me for my Stacy Adams? I’m going to a funeral on Friday…You said you… [note: Stacy Adams are a brand of shoe.]
Black man: Did you get what I said just now?
White man: Yes
Black man: Why’d a brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
White man: You offered!
Black man: I didn’t offer you shit.
White man: What’d you just say when you walked by me?
Black man: I said why, why a fuckin’ brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
White man: You don’t have to!
Black man: Why a white man can’t spit-shine –
White man: [interrupting] – It could be a Chinaman! It don’t matter!
Black man: Look dude…
White man: I ain’t prejudice! What? You think I’m prejudice!
Black man: [pointing toward front of bus] Take your ass back up there and get the fuck out my face right now.
White man: Why you being so hostile, man?
Black man: ‘Cause. I’m pissed off.
White man: Well its better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Black man: Take your ass up there right now
White man: [standing to go to the front] You ain’t scarin’ this white boy. I’m 67 years old. You ain’t scarin’ me. You ain’t scarin’ me.
Black man: [now, also standing] I’m 50.
White man: You ain’t scared of me. You ain’t scarin’ me.
Black man: I’ll put my foot up your ass.
Older white man: No you won’t! No you won’t!

Another passenger makes remarks. The white man moves to the front of the bus as the two exchange threats to whoop each other’s asses.

White man: You won’t do nothin’ to me! [then something unintelligible]
Black man: Say it again! [then something unintelligible as woman who was filming talks over him]
Iyanna Washington: Say it again! Say it again, Pinky!

The black man begins walking to the front of the bus.

Someone off camera whom many allege is Iyanna Washington: Beat his white ass! Whoop his ass!
Another passenger: Leave him alone!

The two men seem to be speaking to one another at the front of the bus, but cannot be heard over the noise from the rest of the passengers.

Iyanna Washington: It ain’t worth it, blood, it ain’t worth it.

The black man begins walking back to his seat as other passengers continue to comment.

Black man: I’d put my foot up your ass.
White man: I see tough guys like you and I slap the shit out of them.
Black man: What?!
Another passenger: Stop it!

The black man walks to the front again to continue the confrontation.

At 1:40, the black guy lunges at the white guy, appearing to either shove or strike him in the chest, but the blow is mostly deflected by the white guy’s arm.

The white man stands up and punches him in the face repeatedly. At least 9 punches can be seen, then the camera moves too much to get a clear view.

At 1:51 the black man can be seen shielding his face.

White man: Don’t fuck with me! He hit me! He fuckin’ hit me!

As can be seen earlier in the video, the black man attempted to shove him, but did not hit him.

The old white man exits the bus.

White man: He fuckin’ hit me first! He hit me in the face! [unintelligible] – self defense!

At 2:07, blood spatter is visible on the seats of the bus.
At 2:22 Iyanna picks up a bag left by the old man.

Iyanna: Open that shit! laughs

Various passengers comment on what they’ve witnessed.

Iyanna: We can press charges, blood. I got in on videotape. He’s leakin’.

Black man: That motherfucker hit me. No no no no no.
Another passenger: Did he break your teeth?

Black man: No. Bring an amb-lance.

Because of the man’s bleeding, injured face, his pronunciation of the word “Ambulance” has been misheard by many as either “bring M&M’s” or “bring amber lamps.” Both variants were turned into image macros.

Then there are some more remarks from various passengers, and the scene ends with a shot of a bench reading “Keep our city clean & safe. Do your part.”

One of the black women, trying to incite a fight, yells at the old guy "Say it again, pinkie!" After the black guy gets his clock cleaned the woman looks at the blood running from his mouth and says, "Ooh, he's leakin'."

The black guy should have kept his seat. His girlfriends should have kept their mouths shut.

In my 12 plus years of posting on the internet, I have never used this phrase... But

OMG!!!

I have never been so happy to see a beatdown in my life!

WALT KOWALSKI LIVES IN REAL LIFE!!!

I get tired of catching lip from punks like this myself, and though I've never had to go "hands on" with one. My latest incident occurred at a local fast food restaurant at about 8:30p.m. on a Sunday night. I had placed an order, and was standing back waiting for it to be completed. Four thugs enter the almost completely empty restaurant... One immediately heads straight for the restroom, two others stood by each of the entry doors, and the other went straight to the counter. I could tell by the look on the face of the employee that she was now scared to death by the way these guys were moving. She reached back, retrieved my order and set it on the counter in the bag, ready to go. The punk at the counter pulled the bag toward himself, and she made a slight reach for it (without saying a word) but evidently saw something in his face and stopped short of touching the bag. I just carefully unbuttoned my suit coat and reached around him quickly, keeping my right hand clear and my carry weapon on the opposite side of him. He looked very surprised, and turned and looked at the guy standing next to the door. Holding the bag in my left hand, I just turned and looked at him, with my right hand now resting on my belt, coat slightly pulled back, just forward of my still concealed Glock 22. Door thug says "We ain't gonna steal yo' food... boy." By this time I was about 3 feet away from him... I stopped, leaned in slightly toward him and said very quietly and slowly "I don't think I would let that happen, even if you thought you could do it..." The look on his face was one of complete shock. He couldn't believe what I had said, and wasn't quite sure what to do. His eyes went down to my right hand, which was now fully grasping an as yet unholstered Glock. I waited for him to look back up at me, but he just let his eyes drop to the floor... At that point, I said "That's what I thought..." He quickly jerked his head toward the door and he, bathroom thug, counter thug, along with door thug #2 left the restaurant. They had parked in a adjacent restaurant's parking lot... I watched them as I walked to my truck, and just leaned against it watching them until they left.

Now, some would question the wisdom of what I did in this incident... But to be completely honest, I was just too tired and too upset (I had on the suit because I had just left the funeral visitation for a friend) to put up with that crap. I don't fancy myself a "man with no name" vigilante, nor as an architect with my own sense of justice. Sometimes you just have to say "Not this time!"

I do wish that I could have gotten it all on video, though. Under most other circumstances, I could have never come up with the cold words that I calmly said to that punk. The next time I went in to that little restaurant, the same girl was at the counter... She called everybody up to the counter from back in the kitchen and said "Guys! Guys! This is the man I was telling you about!" (I didn't say a word, but I was truly smiling on the inside...)

Regards,
Raven6

This has really taken on a life of its own on the Internet. And the vast majority of the comments and blogs are pitching it as a case of black badass attitude getting its comeuppance.

Epic Beard Man (which is his Internet name) clearly has some screws that aren't turned tight, but it's clear that he tried to avoid a physical confrontation.
