83-Year-Old Man Brutally Attacked On Bus

[Dial H For Hero]

Cowardice personified. I read elsewhere that the victim was in the hospital for a week.

1. Damn, what kind of asshole bully fuck does it take to attack an old man

[Lady Freedom Returns]

2. On SunTran we have had issues like this.

And more. We even had someone yanked out of their wheelchair and the then the perpetrator takes it off the bus and takes off.

I Have had some guy set next to me and start rubbing the inside of my leg and told me to keep quiet. So I start beating him and yelling.

3. Ridiculous assault.

Find and arrest that menace.

5. Your vast racism is showing. Hard.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

19. How is it racist to harshly criticize somebody who beat up an 83 year old man?

[Scrivener7]

20. My reply was to the racist hidden post.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. What did I miss?

[Demsrule86]

6. That is ridiculous. PM me where any DUer said it was OK as the victim was white.

What you are posting is white grievance politics.

7. You Should Self Delete

8. It appears to me words were exchanged.

83 year old racists can say some pretty racist things and get away with it.

I would need a lot more info on this.
Still, whoever throws the first punch is the one thrown out of the game.

10. Is there the any evidence that the elderly victim said anything racist prior to being beaten?

If so, please be so kind as to provide it and I'll edit the OP.

[LakeArenal]

11. As I said it looks like there were words exchanged first.

Also I said I would need to have more information before I condemned anyone

I also said it isn’t an excuse to hit anyone of any age.

But I have heard some pretty vile racist shit coming from someone I dearly love and I can tell you I wanted to pop him in the face.

[Demsrule86]

13. That is BS. I don't care what words were exchanged...

It was wrong period.

[Demsrule86]

14. Spewing vile, racist shit is well vile but it still

would not justify beating an old man Almost to death.

[LakeArenal]

15. I never said it did. Not once.

I just don’t take one article as gospel.

Nobody gets to throw punches.

But I know from experience wanting to punch some racists lights out because of words and I know I’m not the only one.
Acting on it is wrong. Never said it wasn’t.
Not even justifiable.

Would like to know more... that’s all I meant and said. What motivated this man to beat an old frail man

[Demsrule86]

18. I never said you did. It was a general comment...meaning I don't care what was said, the attack was

wrong.

[brooklynite]

23. And there's no evidence that "vile, racist, shit" was said...

How about we don’t speculate on whether words that we don’t know warranted an attack ?

[LakeArenal]

24. I didn't attack anyone. I said I've heard enough from old men that would make one want to.

I also know old men that use that to say things because they know they can.

I’m not the one jumping to conclusions.

[Mysterian]

12. What kind of info would make it OK to attack a defenseless senior citizen?

Asking for a friend.

[Scrivener7]

16. This.

[yardwork]

22. Wondering that myself.

9. Sometimes just pouring your mountain dew

On an octogenarian head doesn't get the message across and you have to break his face.

17. Thank you

there's another story here about a 70-year-old woman punched by a clerk in a store, and some people are making excuses calling the woman a "Karen". I've been customer service since 1987, and it's. Awful sometimes, but I've never punched anyone.
