I love how they want to press charges, lol....all he was doing was defending himself.
Thugs like that need to be put in their place, and kudos to the old bloke for sticking up for himself. Maybe that guy will think twice before he tries something like that again

This we need now.
Wow
Then later, the BG tells the WG to "take his a** BACK UP THERE" to the front of the bus, which is obviously where he came from.

It seems that at this point the white guy got up from his seat in the front and came back to sit with the "black folks." Somehow the conversation went to a topic dealing with "transit" or perhaps the "transit system." This is where we pick up the story...
He got up from his seat in the front and came to the back? How'd you get that? Look at the underlined sections below ...
Starting at about 0:07,
EBM: How much you charge me for my Stacy Adams? I'm going to a funeral on Friday. I got a ...
Amba Lamps: Whaaa?
EBM: You said ...
Amba Lamps: Did you hear what I said right now?
EBM: Yes? ...
Amba Lamps: Why a brotha gotta spit shine yo shoes?!
EBM: YOU OFFERED!
Amba Lamps: I didn't offer you SH**.
EBM: What did you just say when you walked by me?
Amba Lamps: I said why ... why a fu**** brother gotta spit shine yo shoes!
EBM: Nah, he don't have to!
Amba Lamps: Why a white man can't shine yo shoes?
EBM: It could be a china-man it don't matter!
Amba Lamps: Look dude ... look ...
EBM: I ain't prejudiced ... What you think I'm prejudiced?
Amba Lamps: *points towards the front of the bus* Take yo ass back up there and get da fu** out oh my face right now.
EBM: Why you being so hostile man?
Amba Lamps: Cause um pissed off.
As for the rest of your comment,
After watching the video a couple times I can safely say that the black guy was taunted by the white guy and lured into the situation.
Apparently, when the black guy walked past the white guy he muttered something about spit-shining shoes. One can only surmise that he saw a black guy on the street doing shoes and felt the frustration of always seeing the black man shining the white guy's shoes.
EBM was confused and defended himself, hell he went back to the front of the bus. It was only Amba-Lamps who kept getting up to go and further antagonize EBM.

Exactly!
WG was in the front of the bus and the BG "walked past him" as he went to the back. Well then, the WG must have come back to join the guy since he was sitting right back there with him. Then later, the BG tells the WG to "take his a** BACK UP THERE" to the front of the bus, which is obviously where he came from.
So, what is the problem? The sections you underlined clearly prove my point... if the WG had not started off sitting in the front seat that he went to, the BG never would have said the word "back" when he told him to get back up there.
Also, if both men had originally sat in the back of the bus, the BG could not have "walked past" the WG.
Sorry, but I truly do think you are totally missing what is going on in that bus.

THAT'S a fact.
What else is a FACT? Younger guy came to the older man in the front of the bus, after the older man walked away.
What else is a FACT? Younger guy threw the first punch.
What ELSE is a FACT? Younger guy made mistake in throwing a punch.
Get over yourself. Dude got punked, plain and simple. Shouldn't have thrown a punch in the first place... all this racial posturing is pathetic.

I'm not saying black people don't age slightly better, it varies between people. I know alot of White folks who age well and black guys who age poorly.
But this was WAY MORE magnified because, The black guys Behavior was immature and he acted like a young thug, and the girls he was with acted like kids. Plus he had shades on and was dressed like a youngster.

The WG came from the front of the bus because that's where the door is.

Your name says it all "ImaNutter!"
I read your full post and found it pathetic. Just the fact that you found it funny tells me that you are not unlike these guys.
That was not a young guy picking on an older guy... that was Thomas Bruso up to his old tricks again. This guy has a reputation for being a bad ass and trouble maker. That was Thomas looking for trouble, so he thought he would go down and get a nice "black brotha" to shine his shoes for him. You are completely blind if you can't see past the broad-brush carefully-selected events you pulled out to defend your position.
WHAT DID THE BROTHA SAY TO THOMAS? Well, the Brotha tells us himself... he wanted to know WHY a brotha had to shine his shoes. Now why would he ask that? Could it be because Thomas had already asked him that question earlier? You really are having trouble with seeing this from any other perspective besides the white-biased perspective, aren't you?
Thomas Bruso has a REPUTATION for being whacked, and if you look at the second video that shows how he behaved outside the bus, you can clearly see that he is no longer on his meds, and has totally lost it.
