Yeah I have a feeling Strikeforce won’t be on board with this idea - having a mentally questionable 67 year old man fight a supposed ex-convict. Also in his first interview he said the dude went back to prison, so I don’t get how they can have a fight in March.
I guess they are just trying to get some of that internet money South Park was talking about (I think South Park working this guy into an episode would be awesome).

This is part of the reason I said he was lying throughout that first interview. How would he know the guy was an ex convict? The police wouldn’t give him that info or backstory. Also, I never saw a knife, and if the guy was a convicted murderer he’d probably be quicker to make a move with his imaginary blade. Also, I didn’t see him get punched in the face, I saw him get punched in the chest. There was just all kinds of inconsistencies in his story. He also sounded a lot “rougher” in the later vids.
Here’s an interview found in a favorite site of mine’s (is this sentence even english?).
The white senior dude is talking in, what appears, good knowledge of what happened in that bus, doesn’t seem to me that he’s talking crap.
That tale gets even more interesting, the guy was just defending himself…[/quote]
I believe you should go by only the original video. The guy is crazy (personal evaluation.) As with many crazy people and even some who are not, his after-the-fact version of events has considerable elements of fantasy/delusion added in which he, I expect, “remembers” as real and so is not lying, but is completely wrong in his account.
I do consider it self-defense: the young punk’s hand lashed out towards his head at far too high a speed and too closely (with contact being possible but not determinable by me from the video) and with a situation certainly signalling hostile intent.
But no knife, no three hits, and probably no prior knowledge of criminal history or correct current knowledge of legal status.
The guy may be adding a bit, but it is entirely possible that the police gave him info about the other guy.
I caught a guy ripping off tools from a construction site I was working at, and the police were more than happy to share with us that the guy had priors and warrants, and that we just sent him to prison for another five years. Hell, they were just giddy with the fact.
It’s like their way of letting you know that they appreciate what you did or something.

I had a guy break into my apartment (they caught him down the street … he had priors and they were “keeping an eye on him” so he didn’t get away) and when I talked to the detective they were also more than happy about sharing his prior history as well … apparently they found the stuff that he stole from my apt but also some smack … he had 10 prior counts against him of unlawful entry and larceny … he’s now in jail for a few years
But yea, I 2nd the whole cops eager to share information with you on perpetrators
Oh, and Cheryl Bernard on the Canadian women’s curling team is SMOOOOOKIN’

No, I was really being serious. Maybe we have different definitions of crazy. [/quote]
I must just be jaded from living in NYC until I was 23 then moving from one city to the next. I just always seems like I seen this type on the street or even one or two guys like this in the neighborhood. What my Grandmother would call looney

Sorry I was taking crazy as in the clinical, diagnosed, medicated sense. Yea hes a little crazy if that is all what you meant lol. Not the type of crazy that can’t function at all socially though.
