That's the stuff :pac:

Now that's the right stuff, good man Buzz :cool:

Good man Buzz!

To infinity and beyond!

Well that's his old a$$ well and truly sued.

Hmm, wonder why he didn't swear on the bible that he walked on the moon. This vid must be giving conspiracy theorists raging hard ons.

****er deserved it

Opinicus · 21-02-2012 2:46pm

That was a solid connection!

I think Buzz showed remarkable restraint there.

Firstly - Swearing on the bible doesn't mean anything. It only means what you want it to mean.

Secondly, if some raving lunatic religious nutjob approached me calling me a liar, and a thief - and then asked me to calmly swear on his bible - I'd do more than punch him in the head.

Totally agree with you there, just wondering what was the precursor to the "I'll see you in court" BS. It just struck me as weird that he didn't just play along to the freak and swear. Just to get him off his back.

I would have liked to have what happened immediately afterwards though instead of just cutting at the punch.

There's a three part vid on how yer man may have lured him to the hotel under false pretences? Plot thickens. :pac:

There'd be a reasonable amount of mitigating circumstances on this one. Buzz didn't react physically until the guy called him a "coward and a liar". He could very plausibly argue that he was being deliberately provoked into a physical confrontation so that the preacher could sue him.

Actually after checking wiki, this video is ten years old. No charges were filed because witnesses all told police that the preacher was the one who had initiated the physical contact and didn't go away after being asked to do so.

Buzz was sued but the case was rejected. Too right. Imagine risking life and limb in the great beyond in an endevour to further human knowledge, only to be told you were a liar and a coward? Should have stomped the ***** head in

It's Bart Sibrel, a 'leading' conspiracy theorist.
Pure provocation. He was well known to Aldrin and practically stalking him so this wasn't a chance encounter with some nut job.

Ah Buzz Aldrin, it was bad enough you were on Dancing with the Stars, but then you showed up in Transformers 3. How could you Buzz? How could you !

That's one small punch for ... man, one giant decking for mankind.

Icyseanfitz · 21-02-2012 5:53pm
