Which one of you geeks rides the bus?

EBG also says "That's what you said," when DBK asks him about spit shining. Something was said between the two before video chic started filming.

 

I agree that EBG was egging him on and probably looking for a fight.

i'm watching it again and at the beginning he looks at the camera kind of smiles, points down and says "lets get that stuff".. DBG is saying something about transit and EBG asks "him how much will you charge to spit shine my shoes." DBG says 'what" then EBG says, "you offered" whether that is true or he's just making sh!t up is not know.

I looked at some of the comments on the video page. Some brutally racist crap being said.

 

But one comment made me laugh:

 

"anyone that beats ass while wearing a fanny pack has my respect "

The Libs showed up.

Thanks d!ck head for bringing politics into this even though cornhusker and Medstudent don't agree with me!

If I recall, Surferskin called hoax on Ballonboy and got it right. I could be wrong, but I think this one is too.

[Strike 5,540]

Thanks

 

You're welcome. HTH.

The camera chick posted another video that is painful to watch. Tries to explain misconceptions. She is definitely too dumb to have planned this out with anyone. I couldn't even watch the whole video.

Bus Fightin' Man Already An Oakland Legend

As noted earlier, the punchy old man who likes to deliver beat downs on Oakland bus riders appears to have been identified and it was not, as they say, "his first rodeo."

 

The ID is not definitive, but observers on the web believe that the "I am a motherfucker" in question is Thomas Bruso, who was arrested at an Oakland A's game last year after a confrontation with police. He's seems a little bit thinner and a lot more aggressive, but it may be the man alternately known as "Tom Slick," "Vietnam Tom" and now "Epic Beard Man." He has been known around the Bay Area for many years and one local blogger described him thusly:

 

Back in 1996, I was working at the intersection of 2nd & Market. Each and every day the man pictured above would walk by my shop, wave a loaf of sourdough in my face, and scream obscenities about the San Francisco 49′ers.

 

He is also the type of guy is that lies about his age to make himself seem older. (The police reports from the ballgame arrest lists him as 64.) Who knows what his military background or current mental status is, but he definitely seems a little unstable and very, very strong. And also a new hero to anyone who has been harassed on public transportation.

 

 

The boys at 4Chan have allegedly launched a campaign to get his tote bag back from the camera-person who took it, even though she actually spoke up and claims she gave it back, and it may not have actually belonged to him in the first place. Details are not exactly solid on this story. But we'll leave you with this completely unverified email from someone who really likes to call people "cat" and consider it a tribute to "Tom Slick," while hoping that no one has to cross paths with his fists again.

 

So this about the "I am a Motherfucker guy" on the Oakland bus. I saw this cat that day. Here's what he was up to just before the incident:

 

So I'm waiting on the NL bus to San Francisco on the corner of Fruitvale and MacArthur in East Oakland (not ghetto East Oakland). It's a good neighborhood. Anyway, it's a beautiful day and I had to go to work. So I arrive at the bus stop at 1:35pm. The bus leaves at 1:45pm. The weather is gorgeous. Not a lot of people out. A sleepy day.

 

There are three Mexican kids at the bus stop as well. The kind of kids that try so damn hard to be street but just can't quite pull it off: "nigga" this, "nigga" that, "ya feel me". It was funny, yet a little sad. So out of nowhere I see this cat in a Santa Claus Silver beard come bombastically walking towards the bus stop. This cat was LOUD. He walks up to the kids and it looked for a second as they might have been getting off on the wrong foot but it was just that they were got a kick out of his "I am a Motherfucker" shirt. When I saw it, I laughed too.

 

IAAMF guy pulls out a pack of generic menthol 100's cigarettes and gives one to the 3 Mexican kids to share. Then he puts on a show. He telling everybody how hard he is (in a funny/jovial way). I believed him. He's yelling how he got his ass beat by 6 Black guys in Chicago for wearing an A's hat. It was in the bathroom and while he was pissing, he got hit over the head with a bottle. He also talked about the time he got beat up by the cops in NYC and that's why he was yelling at the "pig" OPD who was across the street in his patrol car. The Mexican kids were loving it.

 

I kinda was too.

 

He then goes on about how "high" he is and that he just "smoked some of the best ###### in town". Then he talked about (when I say "talk", I mean very loud almost yelling) wanting to get "some ######". I laughed and he walks over and gives me a high five. He goes on to say that he's hung like a mule and that "even guys want to suck my ######". I believed THAT.

 

This is all great street theater.

 

So it's about 3-5 minutes before the bus comes and he spots this cat across the street. This guy is a famous shoe-shiner in the City. I know the guy. IAAMF guy yells and runs across the street. He almost got killed in the process as he didn't look both ways and seriously ALMOST got hit. I'm thinking this guy really is a MOTHERFUCKER. Apparently IAAMF didn't have enough money for the $4 transbay fare (I know, rip off) so he got some cash from shoe-shine guy. I guess they "go back 20 years man".

 

That Brown Bag that you see on the bus that the ghetto kids say "let's go through it" was actually IAAMF guy's buddy's bag. Yes he had a friend. His friend never said a word and he didn't have his bus fare either. So when the bus came IAAMF guy couldn't get on it.

 

My guess: They scrounged some bus fare and hopped the next bus.

 

In closing, in The Town you have a lot of these young/not so young black kids that ###### with white people on the bus. Not just any white guy but white guys that seem vulnerable to them. Just the other day there was this guy that looked like Tug Speedman's character in Tropic Thunder. The mentally challenged guy. He got ###### with on the bus. It wasn't cool. There is also a "slow guy" that's a neighborhood guy whom I've seen get ###### with. I think this guy and his crew thought IAAMF guy was an easy target too hence the "beat his white ass" remark. You never know who you're ###### with. That cat had it coming to him.

 

Thanks for your time,

Chuck

 

 

Here's EBG getting tasered at an A's game:

 

 

So from the sounds of it, it was just a retard fight... (sorry surfer I meant that satirically )

She is an idiot, I wonder what med school she went to..

 

I couldn't get past the part when she said "I brought the bag over so the authorities might be able to identify the man.." blah blah blah.

 

Yeah, most people in the hood are real helpful of the cops and immediately grab evidence to hand over :rollseyes:

yeah, but I think she probably knew who she was video taping and what could potentially happen for the thrill of being a Youtube glory ######..

 

After reading about the background of the mentally unstable vet and the story of him talking to a friend who shoeshines before he got on the bus, I don't think he even knew who he was talking too when he asked for a spit shine. I don't think it was meant to be hateful at first, he was just high and not all there.

[Lionsjunkie 1]

That's why he waited for him to touch him than he went off like a slim jim sasquatch.

 

[peenie 1,915]

i knew you guys would get a kick out that video.

[peenie 1,915]

[BLS 314]

He does nook a little nutty in that video. After seeing that I would say its possible he may look for confrontations. I don't think the camera woman is part of it though.

 

 

Or he's in a full on adrenaline dump and is still jacked up.

He probably hasn't felt like that in 30 years.

why did you run after I joined you on MW2 last night?

[DanXIII 8]

LOL I haven't posted here in 6 months and saw this last week...and it was already on the bored here. You guys are on top of things.

 

 

Apparently 4chan has already figured out who the girl was, who EBM probably is and who the thug who got his ass kicked probably is. Whatever you do on the Internetz, never piss off Anon!

[BLS 314]

It's messed up. My headset was flaking out and I have to restart my PS3 to get it to work.

I rebooted it immediately and you were offline. Sorry about that...but I hate not having a headset.

[DanXIII 8]

Does anyone know if the ambalamps was ever called?
