Default Buzz Aldrin shuts down a pest

I agree with what he did AND he's 76 years old.

Good for Buzz. The guy had it coming. He had his chance to walk away.

I do not believe you should ever take physical action against another person over words.

Something I learned in Kindergarten.

Sticks and stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you.

I do believe something should be done to the harasser but don't believe punching is the answer.

I do not believe in violence either but if I were on a Jury I would certainly side with Buzz Aldrin. This man was really getting in Aldrin's space (sorry).

There are very real conspiracies but they usually involve a few very powerful people (like Watergate, for instance) not something like the moon landings which involved billions of spectators and hundreds of NASA workers. Who profited anyway if this were pulled off?

Aldrin tried to walk away from this "man" repeatedly. The jerk called him some pretty awful names. I don't know if I would have thrown a punch under those circumstances but I certainly would have wanted to.

at some point enough is enough....and I agree with the decision to give hime a shot to the chops......walk softly but carry a big stick!!
Read te link provided later in the thread to learn that Aldrin was set up by the reporter....he got what he deserved.
