So i was in the city waiting for my bus on Adelaide street near st vinnies and this old drunk guy in like his granddaddy years was picking on this black immigrant and kicking at him, so i walk over and tell him to f*** off and leave him alone and the guy starts yelling at me calling me a slack ass student who scums dole money and the usual crap *btw I’m nothing of the sort, i work full time and have done so for the past 3 years, i do look a bit rough around the edged with a beard and long ratty*

then he goes to grab my little goatee beard and i push his hand away, felt like a reflex at the time, then his other hand comes up and smacks me in the face, i then out of no where and completely out of my nature proceed to hit him in the head several times, he had 2 buddies there who just stood there and dragged him off once i started getting to him.

i was spazed out in shock and very disorientated and some guy who works in a restaurant near by came over and gave me some ice. the kid got up and gave me a thankful look and took off and then my bus rocked up and i just ran onto it crawled up in the corner.

what f***ing took me by surprise was the a****** d*******s waiting for there bus while all this was happen, they just stood there not saying anything or doing anything.

I f***ING HATE PEOPLE.

Looking back on it all I probably should of went to the cops or something but seeing as the kid ran off and the old a****** causing trouble was no where to be seen I guess no harm can come from it, either way I still cant believe anyone did anything.

/end emo rant

Did you cry your mascara off on the way home? lolols

hahaha yes!
beating down on old people. That's awesome!
I'm not being sarcastic, that's awesome! good on ya man. Racists suck :(

this story made me laugh out loud

In essence, you beat up an old guy and left?

old man throws the first punch loses any rights to any sympathy he might get (imo), if anyone had any for him being a racist jerk anyway. Props for sticking up for the little guy.

Knowing greyden pretty well, I think I can vouch for the fact that hes doesn't have one agressive bone in his body, and he certainly wouldn't have just laid into him for the sake of it...

awesome, awesome story.

needs ninjas but dragons are not nessary.

nice work nigga. (lol)

Hahaha that is fantastic man. Its good to see someone stand up for something.

nice going groydis, you did the rite thing in standing up to the man..and as for hitting him well it was self deffence..he throughs the frst bunch you finished him off.
good job

i believe old people are better than black people, so im disgusted

i don't like the honesty of his pussyness.. you should've lied to us and said you kept going after him or something cos althought you kicked his arse you look like a pussy for crawling up in the corner of the bus
f*** racists, i hate every c***

Props for standing up to the old codger groydis, I wonder how many of us would have just sat there and watch it happen?

I like all people of all colours. Especially whites.

groydis 1
crusty old drunk man = 0

That makes it a tie.

I didn't say that I had any sympathy for the guy. Props for putting words in my mouth.

don't really see how racism has much to do with it here, but obviously 3v1 pwnage needs to be broken up and ur cool for that

Groydis,
Welcome to Humanity (not always a glowing report)

PS:
If you feel bad about reacting to that situation when it involved an old person who sounds like an asshat.
EDIT: just be nice an respectful of old people where, when an while you can, when no one else appears to be doing so.

I live a simple credo
"pay it forward"

The world/universe has a way of balancing things out

my question is, what kind of a pussy was the black guy to get beaten up by an old drunk?

my question is, what kind of a pussy was the black guy to get beaten up by an old drunk?

id like to see this thread re-posted in a paralell universe where the black guy took a swing

what f***ing took me by surprise was the a****** d*******s waiting for there bus while all this was happen, they just stood there not saying anything or doing anything.

Why did ppl just sit there and ignore the situation?

Answer: The bystander effect (psychological theory).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect

BTW, good on u Groydis!! :)

I would have dropped the c***.

If i was there watching the whole thing, i would have helped you bash him only cos he was being a racist... but normally i couldn't care and wouldn't step in... cos the city at night time is full of scums and drunks. I'd bring the popcorn out and watch... Bumfight Comes to brisbane.


you manyaks

The old guy was actually physically assaulting the black guy? Is that what you mean by 'kicking at him'? That's pretty f***ed up...

Why did ppl just sit there and ignore the situation?

f*** bystander effect. Last time I actually did help someone, someone decided to try and fight me for it instead.
Therefore, you can bleed to death in front of me next time for all I care, someone else can help and I'll just keep walkin.

Besides, you don't have to render help if you feel the situation is threatening/endangering to yourself, easy to argue in court if somehow you were pulled up for walking by something like that.

Boxhead pretty much said it right a long time ago in another thread, don't help anyone unless absolutely necessary.

That's no good. I'm assuming there must have been some kind of a misunderstanding for that to happen though (?).

Difficult situations are also made more difficult when ppl are drunk at the time. I don't think most ppl would be like that sober.

True. And although I abhor violence (as I believe Groydis does too), I think it says a lot about his character for him to stand up and do something *even* though there probably were better ways of going about it (though these "better" ways are sometimes more difficult to mediate in such situations).

yeah im not one to usually snap into violence when pushed, maybe verbal abuse but im not the kind of guy who likes to get in fisty fights.

and yeah the black kid who was 16 or under was getting kicked in the legs and shins by the old dude.

as soon as i saw what was going on i didnt even have to think about going over there and telling him to f*** off, and as soon as he hit me i didnt have to think about hitting him and thats what disturbs me, the fact i didnt think about throwing the punch before i did.

i dont regret my actions but it makes me ponder what kind of damage i could do in that kind of situation not to someone else but to myself.

i could understand trying to ignore you typical friday night drunk fight between 2 teenagers, but this was something far worse that shouldnt be ignored.

breaking up fights usually ends in you being punched too

i ain't taking punches for a stranger, much easier to keep walkin

hating racists is a bit hypocritical don't you think?

er, partyhat..

not at all. "racist" is a character trait, and its compleatly different for hating someone because of there character traits(who they really are) then the colour of there skin.(what they look like)

yeah ok, i'll save it for one of those 'i hate people who believe in something i don't' threads :)

Much kudos. The guy deserved everything he got.

yeah being racist is changeable, where as changing your race isn't ... society just wants us to look at the individuals basically so no innocent people are punished unjustly

good on you man

unless hes in a wheel chair war veteran with no legs, the reason being 2 black dudes cut his legs off at war and tortured him for several years, he derserves to get knock the f*** out

were they good hits or just little faggy ones, lol imagine just putting on a king hit on some seventy year old hahaha

ps youre still a fag

If you were there exi i would've bashed you thinking you would've been the racist fag

ps. you're still a racist fag.

u told a drunk to f*** off and wonder why u got hit get some street smarts mate

^ tosser

he stuck up for someone, get a clue

He has a point, when you confront someone who is obviously a bit violent you should be ready for them to start throwing punches, i.e. "get some street smarts"

go back to your f***ed out contry booyah

LOL

but be careful which old man you take a swing at

hey exi, the bomb in my car in iraq needs a wash. So does my camel's twat.

^ I can see it now
www.CamelToes&TrolleyBars.com

f*** getting involved

Okay, so nice story, but what does any of this have to do with racism? The guy was black, big deal. That doesn't mean anything was racially motivated.

My money's on the old dude saying "ya black..." etc
Wasn't there, neither were any of us. Just have to rely on groydis slant on things (an no, I'm not implying there may have been an asian reporter present)

I dont gettit...you bashed up an old guy who was defending himself whilst he was being robbed by a black guy..WTF??

:p

j/k....

psycho, your kind of attitude is exactly what's wrong with the entire police force today

trust jim to stand up for the thug ... we all remember his 7-11 carpark story.

Jim is black ? that makes my ass pale red.

were they good hits or just little faggy ones, lol imagine just putting on a king hit on some seventy year old hahaha

well they felt like i put alot into them the first one was an upwards swing to his face the rest i was hammering down into his head as he kind of put his head down for cover. whilst i say they were hard hits my knuckles didnt get cut but my hand was sore for a while afterwards, it feels fine today and there is no bruising, to me that suggests the punches were not hard at all, in saying that im not very strong and in saying that it was still enough to hurt him.

He has a point, when you confront someone who is obviously a bit violent you should be ready for them to start throwing punches, i.e. "get some street smarts"

yeah most cases id say you are right, in other cases a nice firm f*** off is all you need.

kay, so nice story, but what does any of this have to do with racism? The guy was black, big deal. That doesn't mean anything was racially motivated.

it was clearly racially motivated as the old guy was yelling racial slurs at the black kind

My money's on the old dude saying "ya black..." etc

you are on the money there, every sentence started with "ya black...." and then when he verbally fired up at me it was "ya dumb..."

He has a point, when you confront someone who is obviously a bit violent you should be ready for them to start throwing punches, i.e. "get some street smarts"

yeah but my understanding was that he was only complaining about the fact no one else stood in? it was obvious what could have happened and it was fair enough that it did

Reminds me of the story a couple of weeks back about that aboriginal elder who had the fit at the bus stop at UQ I think it was, no one stopped to look to see if she needed a hand. I don't know if it was because she was black that no body stopped to look or if it was that people just don't care in general.

people just don't care in general.

its that and there are people out there who just don't wanna get involved. Maybe they think they're gonna get rabbies of them or something.. :P

i dont see what u expect the people at the bus stop to do.

^
Get help??

Tho I call bystander effect again.

it sounds like he was taunting the little kid its wrong but its not like the cops will do much ,drunk and disorderly maybe.as long as the kid is not being assulted just stick around and make sure he is ok.but confront the drunk and cop a smack in the chops for ya trouble.the guy is 70 he aint gonna change his ways.maybe the people at the bus stop r abit more level headed .

^
I think u just mixed a few different threads and stories there. But I see ur point.

yeah soz should be "old drunk guy in like his granddaddy years"

Between the lines: Blah blah I'm a f***** and want to get on a high horse and want to be in the minority just to say you did the wrong thing and because i'm too much of a self-centered pussy twat to stand up and tell someone to shutup when they're being verbally abusive to someone else in a similar situation, so i'll justify it by saying you're [OP] not level headed enought o properly understand the situation [read: a moron].

You did the right thing. He swung first. But it still begs the question why the black guy didn't stand up for himself. Was he small or something?

i dint say what he did was wrong ,but alot of people were quick to say the people at the bus stop were wrong in choosin not to get involed and not get hit.

But it still begs the question why the black guy didn't stand up for himself. Was he small or something?

maybe he was tiny CHORTLE

guffaws

But it still begs the question why the black guy didn't stand up for himself

look what happened to OJ

yeah OJ. great example.

Great work man, good to see some jackass being taught a lesson.

But it still begs the question why the black guy didn't stand up for himself. Was he small or something?

He was like 13-14 years old, old guy was like mid 50's.

he look older then mid 50's but i could be wrong, its hard to tell, if he was an alcho most of his life hed look alot older that what he is, and yeah the kid was young and the old guy was kicking him, like physically using his legs to kick the kid in the legs, there was some arm swinging but i didnt see the kid getting hit.

that aboriginal woman was at griffith and yeah it was a bit of a shame


and psycho, im now again afraid of you and your glock :(

Good on you groydis for standing up to the guy. Can't say I'd have done the same thing but after reading about the bystander effect I now know why. :-)

Soo....

Groydis is knocking this old guy out Tyson styles, when some one comes around the corner and sees that happening, they dont know whats gone on before hand and why Groydis is beating this old guy senseless ....

Butterfly effect kgo.

Prolly would have been a bit better to ask what was going on, before telling him to f*** off.

The kid MAY have stolen something from him (i doubt it though) and he was raging at him for that, then all of a sudden there is a young guy telling him off for sticking up for him self against this black kid ...

etc etc etc ...

But props to ya mate - i would have done the same thing.. Hindsight is a wonderfull thing :P

Edited for typo's

he had plenty of chances to tell me if the kid had done anything when he was abusing the s*** out of me and calling me a dole bludging scum.

You look like a dole bludging scum in your avatar there.

oh yeah? well you look like earthworm jim

you look like you're about to roll over again

you could be right, I get my car back on wednesday :D
