I already said that I supported the EBM and think the younger guy deserved it. What i'm saying though is that if you google for more info about the epic beard man, you'll find out that he is kind of a troublemaker. It's sounding to me like the black dude was minding his business, until EBM made the comment about shining his shoes and that started the whole thing. If he hadn't made that racist comment, none of this would've happened. Once again, I agree that the black dude should've left it alone when EBM went up to the front, but neither party was completely innocent. I know people want to see this as a case of some ghetto thug of a black dude that was just f*cking with a random white guy on the bus, but it's not appearing as though that was the case. When the police report is released with other passengers accounts of what happened leading into it, we'll have the evidence of who really started it. It's clear from the video that there was sh*t going on prior.

I didn't say he started it. I'm saying that we don't know what happened prior to the film rolling. We know that EBM is a certified loon off his meds and other videos on youtube show him being tasered and arrested during a baseball game. Other anecdotal reports indicate he has a history of being a troublemaker and he admitted out of his own mouth he's been to jail, sold drugs and pimped. So all I'm saying is we don't know for sure what led up to the incident before the film started rolling and who really started it. We also know that EBM isn't the knight on a white horse people seem to think he is. Based on his own history of criminality, if he was black, people would be calling him just another thug. But since he's white, he gets all this sympathy.
:crazy:
Facts:
Black guy acted crazy in the video, started a fight
White guy amde ANTI RACIST comments as I posted in the transcript, and tried to diffuse the racial tension
White guy acted semi-crazy, but consciously tried to avoid physical conflict
Black guy attacked him
Your argument can be summed as such:
White guy was crazy at a baseball game on some other day
We don't know what happened prior to video
Since white guy is crazy at the baseball game, the bus incident is probably his fault
Are you fukn serious?
Stick to what we know. Maybe whitey was Hitler's son, who knows and who cares. What we know is what we see in the video, and you're finding ridiculous reasons to discredit it.
