it was the black guy that escalated it to the physical level ...
true - and with the new evidence in Bruso's interview I completely support the view that the black kid had it coming to him. Knife, punch, parole and probation ...
My point is - watching the video I formed a clear impression that Bruso was anything but an innocent bystander in the situation. Especially his comment "I'll kick the shit out of you" as the kid was walking back to his seat was totally uncalled for and deliberately inflamatory - part of a pattern of "you hit me I'll hit you back two times" that was his belligerent attitude right from the start. Even his story about how the spat started hardly makes him look any better. Yeah the kid hit him first, and yeah the kid has a history of antisocial behaviour of his own, but give me a break: the kid definitely tried to disengage three times that I counted.
Clearly the two of them were made for each other, a match made in heaven
What's especially ironic is his opposition to Bush and his warlike policies ... he completely fails to see the same underlying values system in his own behaviour ... of course, he's a traumatised war veteran with deepseated emotional problems. So we have to excuse him, right?

... and so the cycle goes on ... all over the World ...
Definitely not a good advert for the Land of the Free.
