Epic Beard Man has become something of an Internet celebrity after a couple of videos featuring this Vietnam veteran hit the Web. One was of him being tasered at a baseball game, and the other showed him beating a black guy up on a bus.
Rather than let his mystery make him, someone managed to track Epic Beard Man (real name Thomas Bruso) down and interview him about the bus fight and his life and views in general.
As I thought at the time of watching the video, Epic Beard Man was the one in the right. He didn’t start the aggravation but he sure as hell finished it; by knocking the other guy the fuck out.
Epic Beard Man is still epic, but he has lost some of his inherent appeal by having been revealed as just a cranky old guy willing to kick ass. But at least we know the truth (at least from his point of view) about that fight.
