Gran Torino Takes the Bus

Apparently this video is the hottest thing on the internet. I just watched it yesterday and I can say it is quite a crazy situation. More on that later.



First let me say I can appreciate how impressive it is that a nearly 60 year old man can beat the shit out of someone less than half his age. But then there are the obvious other issues going on in the video. I think maybe people would want to call this guy, Tom Slick, a hero for shirking fear and confronting a bully and winning. But the biggest issue to me is why Tom Slick isn't scared and that's because he's effing crazy. Vigilante justice always seems cool but most of the time we find out that the vigilante probably has a past along the same lines as the criminal. It takes a crazy or shady person to get into this kind of altercation on a bus. I don't think this dude beat some ass to be heroic. He probably just did it out of racist rage. Need any proof. Just go to Tom Slick's website where he is cashing in on being "I Am A Motherfucker!"
