OAKLAND, California-

In every one of my previous posts I have written about stories that have occurred in the past. I like time to pass between the event actually occurring and my version of it. That way when you read about it on my blog hopefully it’s new and fresh to you. So for the first time I am going to write about a story that is now a viral video sensation on the internet. It is all over YouTube and many other places on the internet. This is an event that will make any MMA (mixed martial art) fighter proud.

It is a fantastic story that I just couldn’t resist telling. But before I begin, I must make something very clear: The video (linked below) is very racially motivated. But I am going to honestly say it has absolutely nothing to do with race for me. I do not see black and white, all I see is a young thug and older (67 year old) man.

There is no mystery about what happens here. When I saw the video for the first time on YouTube I couldn’t help but laugh. Somehow a verbal argument broke out between an older man and a younger man about ‘spit shining’ the older man’s Stacy Adams (dress shoes). I really don’t know if any racism was intended by the older man, he claims there was not. When the much taller, older man walked away the younger man followed him and persisted in mocking him, trying to intimidate him, and start a fight. The younger man followed the older to the front of the bus then returned to the back. They bantered back and forth until the younger man made a second approach to the older man and clearly put a hand on him. And all that needs to be said is the older man defended himself (see for yourself below, but please note there is violence and vulgarity).

What else is there to say? Someone talked a lot and got their ass handed to them. Rumor has it there may be a rematch in a real MMA cage with a real referee…….NO JOKE. From what I saw it would be over in about 5 seconds, probably not worth pay per view.

The Moral of the story: NOTICE to all bullies out there: You better watch yourself, you never know when that unexpected guy will kick your ass.
