Nuetral Party stepping in....



All fun and games aside, including the joy of see old white people beat up on people who appear to us as "thugs"...

Tom "I am a motherfucker" Bruso has an arrest record and a shopping center in San Fransisco was granted a temporary restraining order against him in 1994.

The video starts with Tom making inflammatory remarks to a black man.
Black man tells him to get out of his face.
Tom ask him why.
Black man tells him why (because he's angry). - This is the black mans attempt to disengage. Due to the "ghetto-ishness" factor, it is not apparent whether "Take your ass back up there and get the fuck out my face right now." meant that Tom left the front of the bus and approached the black man to engaged in conversation or whether its just ghetto grammar for "Go to the front of the bus.
Tom walks up to the front running his mouth, further poking a stick at the situation.
Hillarity ensues.



Based on Tom's history and the video provided I think Tom is responsible for the altercation. I think the black guy is responsible for the hillarity of the situation.

Black man: …AC Transit
White man: Let’s get back to business. How much you charge me for a spit-shine?
Black man: what?
White man: 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?
White man: Yes
Black man: Why’d a brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
White man: You offered!
Black man: I didn’t offer you shit.
White man: What’d you just say when you walked by me?
Black man: I said why, why a fuckin’ brother gotta spit-shine your shoes?
White man: You don’t have to!
Black man: Why a white man can’t spit-shine –
White man: [interrupting] – It could be a Chinaman! It don’t matter!
Black man: Look dude…
White man: I ain’t prejudice! What? You think I’m prejudice!
Black man: [pointing toward front of bus] Take your ass back up there and get the fuck out my face right now.
White man: Why you being so hostile, man?
Black man: ‘Cause. I’m pissed off.
White man: Well its better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Black man: Take your ass up there right now
White man: [standing to go to the front] You ain’t scared of this white boy. I’m 67 years old. You ain’t scared of me. You ain’t scared of me.
Black man: [now, also standing] I’m 50.
White man: You ain’t scared of me. You ain’t scared of me.
Black man: I’ll put my foot up your ass.
Older white man: No you won’t! No you won’t!

Another passenger makes remarks. The white man moves to the front of the bus as the two exchange threats to whoop each other’s asses.



White man: 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!

The black man begins walking to the front of the bus.



Iyanna Washington: Beat his white ass! Whoop his ass!
Another passenger: Leave him alone!

The two men seem to be speaking to one another at the front of the bus, but cannot be heard over the noise from the rest of the passengers.



Iyanna Washington: It ain’t worth it, blood, it ain’t worth it.

The black man begins walking back to his seat as other passengers continue to comment.



Black man: I’d put my foot up your ass.
White man: I see tough guys like you and I slap the shit 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 guy lunges at the white guy, appearing to either shove or strike him in the chest, but the blow is mostly deflected by the white guy’s arm.

The white man stands up and punches him in the face repeatedly. At least 9 punches can be seen, then the camera moves too much to get a clear view.
At 1:51 the black man can be seen shielding his face.



White man: Don’t fuck with me! He hit me! He fuckin’ hit me!

As can be seen earlier in the video, the black man attempted to shove him, but did not hit him.
The old white man exits the bus.



White man: He fuckin’ hit me first! He hit me in the face! [unintelligible] – self defense!

At 2:07, blood spatter is visible on the seats of the bus.
At 2:22 Iyanna picks up a bag left by the old man.



Iyanna: Open that shit! laughs

Various passengers comment on what they’ve witnessed.



Iyanna: We can press charges, blood. I got in on videotape. He’s leakin’.
Black man: That motherfucker hit me. No no no no no.
Another passenger: Did he break your teeth?
Black man: No. Bring an ambulance.

If Tom approached you, dear TWF reader and said "How much for a night with your mother?" it would be you screaming for M&M's at the end of the video.
