So, that old man in the bus brawl video? According to this site, his name is Thomas Bruso aka “Tom Slick” aka “Vietnam Tom” aka “Epic Beard Man” aka “Don’t mess with a dude wearing a ‘I’m A Motherfucker’ tee and a fanny pack” and it’s not his first acclaimed YouTube video. UPDATE: He speaks!
It’s believed that he’s also the guy who was tasered at an Oakland A’s game in a video posted back in August of 2009. Compare the footage below and check out the bonus video of him ranting post-bus attack plus the parodies!

I definitely want to be Epic Beard man when I grow up.
This man is our generation's Chesley Sullenberger. And what chickenshits the Oakland cops are! At least they didn't shoot him in the back, as is sometimes their wont.

Well… Not quite Sulley, but pretty damn close.
This dude is a lunatic. Seriously.
I'd do him.
Fuck yeah man that old man is a fucking true BAD ASS MOFO
THat fucking punk deserved that shit the old dude went to the front of the bus and then the a hold punk went up front and started MORE shit and then got his punk ass beat down and need a "ambu lamps" as the illiterate jerkoff says
I love the crotchety old black woman who eggs the young(er) brutha on .. then is the first to intervene when he's getting his black a** handed to him. I imagine if he was on the winning side, she would have been there kicking that whitey while hes' down. Sit down and STFU Aunt Esther.
Oh this was sweeeet. Gramps was handing it out. Dude got what he deserved. Oh and if you listen to the tape he wasn't a "young punk" either. That black dude was 50. Bet he doesn't start fights on the bus anymore. Were I him, I'd be afraid of getting served up with a two peice and a biscuit again and then YOUTUBED. LMFAO
Earl whiteman, MAD MUCH? LOLOLOLOL
Tyrone got his ass kicked by Santa Claus. Embarrassing!
Brusco, you are our heros in saint louis man. You gave that bitch plenty of chances to back off.
The punk is lucky that you didnt really hurt him. You actually could have killed the dumb mother fucker.
Why the I am a Motherfucker shirt?
Rock on you crazy old Mother Fucker! I wanna party with you!
Oakland, where the white boys are badasses.

Maybe the government created a whole super army of Epic Beard Men back in the 50's to bring America one big motherfuckin' ambulamps. Take that everybody.
YOU GOTTA GET ONE OF THESE: ILLTEMA.COM/EBM
I love this comment
So, the police lie about using excessive force, and the thief lied about being a thief. So, apparently thugs are liars? Quick – give me government grant money to study this social revelation! Punchline? I'm a Motherf**cker. Details: <a href="http://bit.ly/ac-transit-brawl-video” target=”_blank”>http://bit.ly/ac-transit-brawl-video
Going back to old school , where it all began , they have big mouths but nothing to back it up with .
The Epic Limerick of the Epic Beard Man.
In Oakland a grizzled veteran named Tom
From the long forgotten war in Viet Nam
Tried to get rid of his blues
By shining his Stacy Adam's shoes
To look sharp at the funeral of his Mom.
When he got on the AC transit Bus
He encountered a racially toned fuss
Because a thug named Tyrone
Tried to pick at Tom's bone
When the shoeshine was brought up to discuss.
Tyrone acted like his shit wasn't stinky
But compared to Tom he was really quite dinky
Though Tom's conclusion was foregone
That it's better to be pissed off than pissed on
One of the hecklers yelled out "Say it again Pinky!"
Tom declared that he was 67 years old
That's when the thug decided to get gangster bold.
One of the women with no class
Yelled out "Beat his white ass"
Now here's where the legendary stuff begins to unfold!
Tom said something about slapping the thug shitless
That's when Tyrone finally proved himself witless.
When Tyrone's right hook came around
He got his ass beat to the ground
By the Senior showing Epic Beard Man fitness!
Epic Beard Man hit him with a three lefts and a right
It was a beat down instead of a fight!
Then Beard man got his shoes shined
By inserting them up Tyrone's behind
Then he decided to call it a night.
Tyrone crawled off to where a wounded man encamps
To some of his bleeding he tried to apply clamps.
The videographer who was freakin'
Cried aloud "Ohh He Leakin'!"
As Tyrone yelled out "Get da' Amber lamps!"
Here's a tip for any thuggish city sucker
Epic Beard Man can make y'alls ass pucker!
You'll be cryin' and moanin'
If you pick on a big bearded Roman
Who's shirt declares "I AM a Motherfucker!"

The sad thing about this is not the altercation that was predicated on a misunderstandng – but the incredible amount of racism displayed by the people who respond to the whole thing. I don't think Tom set out to find trouble; I don't think Michael was looking for trouble – there was a misunderstanding and two stron personalities clashed. And the only racism I heard didn't come from eaither of them – it came from a passenger who was egging Michael on.
The whole event was unfortunate, and that's it. I believe that either one is a racist at heart.
Dear don T. i hope if you encounter a similar situation with someone els of an equaly strong personality as yours and you try to AVOID the situation and they INSTIGATE the situation , that if they beat your fucking ass into the ground, that you remeber that the whole incident was"UNFORTUNATE" while the E.M.Ts stitch your dumb ass back togeather. that was not unfortunate, it was cathartic, it was epic, it was awe inspiring, and that little thug wannabee gangster bitch earned every bit of that ass wooping,
