Don't mess with old guys

Surprise, surprise.

I bet youngboy will think 20 times before he thinks about causing trouble again.


TL

backed him into a hole and he came out swinging, bad boy bad boy whatya goin to do now ?

Apparently the guy served in Viet Nam. Fair play to him for standing up to that guy.

shocking!
ok the post was too short. just adding a few more characters.

Amusing, but not surprising as Thom said.

And that's the way it was.

Should still be that way. People want to be that jive, they need some quick lessons in peace and order -- unfortunately, some people have to have those ideas kicked into them. Go figure.

It used to be that if a guy said something filthy to our faces or called us something, we'd just slap their face - stand up for our honor so we didn't get walked on...or worse. Now we're expected to just sit there and take it like simpering little slave girls. It encourages manhandling to do so. But that's the law. My favorite line when someone gets real wiley with me is "you're gonna look pretty stupid in court telling the judge that a 100 pound old lady beat you up".

My dad is retired LE, and if someone starts mouthing off, he's very quick to speak right back. If anyone were to try to get physical... he's got a hair trigger. I could see him in a similar situation in similar circumstances.

The guy in the video did right by retreating, and I appreciate him standing up for himself, but he also fanned the confrontation instead of diffusing it from the beginning. He's lucky it didn't turn out differently (i.e. a shooting or stabbing).

I disagree 100%. He was right all the way along. There was no need or reason for him to back down other than safety,and he proved he could take care of himself.

Thats exactly what bullys expect.They think they can piss on everyone and get away with it. Well, he didn't get away with it this time. He honestly didn't know what hit him.
And like most bullys,once he was away from the guy, he starts talking smack again.

I'm not much of a fight fan, but I would pay to see this rematch.

And if the lady did steal his bag and wallet,he says you can see it in the video,but I don't,then I hope she serves a term too.

Old Thomas Bruso is an interesting person -- honest almost to a fault. As this drama unfolded, it turned out the younger man (50 years old) who attacked him was a wanted criminal with a violent background. The younger guy displayed a psychotic temperament in which even imagined slights will set him off into a violent frenzy. I've known people like that; they are scary. This time he f*cked with the wrong person, lol. He'll likely be in jail a long time with California's 3-strikes policy.

Kay - with creeps like this, screaming racism is just an excuse to be able to do anything they want and avoid consequences for their actions. I know a few black people who would have wanted to get a swing in of their own just for the word "racism" coming out of that idiot's mouth in a case like this.

SHEESH! The term "my boy" existed BEFORE slavery, and is especially likely to be used by older people. Frankly, I think it is demeaning, but it has even been used to refer to ME! BY WHITES, and I am white. And it can certainly mean SON also, And BROTHER? Give me a break, that could mean ANYTHING! It could mean a male sibling, another male member of a group(like a lodge or fraternity or religion).

And why would a young black care about the musings of an old white in such a closed setting? I mean normally one wouldn't affect the other's life. Some old people say some crazy things.

Anyway, the Bible says that you shouldn't worry about anothers splinter if you have a plank. That kid certainly had a big plank.

BTW I don't think they count separate counts against the 3 strikes unless they are different incidents. If they did, they might as well call it one strike. In a bankrobbery, for instance, the average robber breaks at least three laws just before they ask for the money. They pull a gun, make a threat, and rob the bank. I believe each is a separate felony. Would they then subject that guy to the three strikes? I still remember when a guy that had TWO strikes was accused of stealing a piece of pizza, and there was an uproar that he might be subject to 3 strikes!

It also says:

the three-strikes law, which requires a term of 25 years to life for any felony committed by a defendant with two previous serious or violent felony convictions.

PREVIOUS, kind of implies different incidents.

Haha this is really funny! Thanks for sharing the video.
