"whats this flipping the switch you talk about? is that the thing where he goes from zero to a hundred in a split second?"
Yes the ability to go from zero to one hundred in a split second,deliver violence of action ,while being in control.
The Old man in the Bus clip is No Angel.
He is apparently easy to find on the street.
He said the day he was on the bus ,he and his friend were going to get Medical Marijuana ,which he says he gets because he is a senior citizen and it helps aches and pains.
He also introduces the guy who is trying to arrange the televised fight between he and the young guy ,to a friend who has gold teeth.The old man said he knocked this guys teeth out over some cocaine and they became friends.
He says he shot some one,but never got charged .
He said he did time in prison,14 years, for selling drugs when he came back from Vietnam.
He also said he used to fight for money.
How much is true who knows,he seems like he is a bit of an EDP,(Emotionally Disturbed Person)
Now he said he meets about 100 people a day who want autographs,pictures and interviews.
The Local police drive him where he needs to go and they buy him food and coffee.
So he says.
He is No Angel and probably Not a Nice Old Man.
He did get up and move from the Mouthy Young Guy,was then persued by the young guy to the front of the bus,swung at and he reacted in self defense.
Still a good clip in that it shows:
Dialogue leading to escalation
How moving and avoiding in certain instances is not enough
Posturing and more verbal dialogue before the initial sucker type strike
The reaction and response
The use of overwhelming violence to terminate the situation.
Still not a surprise attack as both parties participated in the verbal escalation ,the physial Posturing and on to the conflict stage.
All slow to simmer and slow to build up to the actual contact point.
