I think we should put him back in uniform and send him to the sandbox.

I rather he send you.

Just think - the leftards want to make us all take public transpotation.

Lee Harvey Oswald was proud that he rode the bus away from the JFK shooting.

[Melas]

I don’t get it. The old white guy says, “How much you charge me for a spit shine” I’m not sure I get the whole innocence being projected on the white guy who obviously started the fight.

[Krankor]

It’s hard to tell who “started” it because the taping starts in the middle of the altercation. Apparently, the black man said something earlier and Tom Slick claimed he thought the black guy was offering to shine his shoes. Maybe the white guy had his feet sticking out in the aisle and the black guy made a remark about his shoes and Tom Slick either misunderstood him or made the shoeshine comment in retaliation. Tom Slick apparently has “issues” and can be loud, obnoxious and ornery. In the past, the cops tased him at a baseball game.

Actually she is telepathic, and she’s “telling” the stupid chick filming that she’s a bitch because she got her “man” in over his head with her egging him on... Ms. Lamps would never do something like that! LOL

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Judging from what I read about the background, the black guy made a comment about Tom’s feet sticking out in the aisle, and he made a comment along the lines of ‘what’s a brother gotta do to make you move, shine your shoes’? Tom responds seriously (or sarcastically, as if joking around with the comment), and the black guy responds in disbelief; the conversation continues on the video (edited for language).

Black man: …AC Transit
Bruso: Let’s get back to business. How much you charge me for a spit-shine?
Black man: what?
Bruso: 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?
Bruso: Yes
Black man: Why a brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
Bruso: You offered!
Black man: I didn’t offer you [crap].
Bruso: What’d you just say when you walked by me?
Black man: I said why, why a ******’ brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
Bruso: You don’t have to!
Black man: Why a white man can’t spit-shine –
Bruso: [interrupting] – It could be a Chinaman! It don’t matter!
Black man: Look dude…
Bruso: I ain’t prejudiced! What? You think I’m prejudiced?!
Black man: [pointing toward front of bus] Take your [butt] back up there and get the **** out my face right now.
Bruso: Why you being so hostile, man?
Black man: ‘Cause. I’m [ticked] off.
Bruso: Well its better to be [ticked] off than [urinated] on.
Black man: Take your [butt] up there right now
Bruso: [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.
Bruso: You ain’t scared of me. You ain’t scarin’ me.
Black man: I’ll put my foot up your [butt].
Bruso: No you won’t! No you won’t!
Bruso: 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! [Iyanna is the lady holding the camera]
Eashington: Beat his white [butt]! Whoop his [butt]!
Another passenger: Leave him alone!
Iyanna Washington: It ain’t worth it, blood, it ain’t worth it.
Black man: I’d put my foot up your ass.
Bruso: I see tough guys like you and I slap the [crap] 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 man lunged at Bruso, so he elevated the conflict to physical violence first. Then Tom whales on him.

I think the confrontation could’ve been avoided (both people were rather cranky and irritable), but it was the black guy who seemed to start it, and it was the black guy who threw the first punch.

13 year Navy vet here, I’d go in a heartbeat if they would take me.

I was medically discharged in 1988 with bad hearing, but hell, there has to be a lot of jobs that do not require great hearing I could do.

Not in the greatest shape these days, but what the hell.

[Ronin]

That’s what we have on tape, but I am thinking that something had to be said previously that set the old dude off. I seriously doubt he was sitting there randomly throwing racially charged comments at any black man who walked by him.

Another steals bags for the LOLZ............

That is Awsesome!

[Mr. Blonde]

Here is an interview with Tom. I wouldn't just assume he wouldn't throw something out there. He clearly has a lot of of issues.

Here is one with the black guy.

[ApplegateRanch]

parsy, who asks “Can’t we all just get along?”

Yes, my son; just as soon as I whomp you a couple more times to make sure you really, REALLY mean it, this time. Be sure to smile at the nice lady filming this.

[mowowie]

I think i’ve dreamed of Amber Lamps in the past.

[parsifal]

LOL! Wow, this thread is still going on?

parsy

[ApplegateRanch]

Amber Lamps...what's in your hidden hand?

Is that why you're so serene?

[ApplegateRanch]

Just winding down. LOL
