Whats your thoughts on this? I think, judging from the video only, the old guy deserved a few punches back but the knee was too much.

Judging by this clip alone that was extremely excessive.

You fight to win. What if the young bloke didn't knock him out then the man stabbed him?
He deserved it judging by that clip

So very true  some guy full beamed me this morning because he was in the right lane at a roundabout and wanted to go straight up, but I was in the left lane so he couldn't get in before me. He then sat quietly behind me until the traffic cleared, then overtook giving it all the billy big bollocks

you should only use as much force as is necessary to stop your attacker from doing damage to you..
if it took a knockout to stop him.. a knockout he will receive..
a question tho...
an old man is probably as vulnerable as a woman.. if that was a woman and the guy retaliated in the same way.. it would be a whole different story

Didn't look vulnerable or defenceless when he was smacking the lad round the head and then taking shots at his bollocks.
Start a fight be prepared to be hit back, got what he deserved

Providing there was not a good enough reason for the old man hitting him... I have to say im on the young lads side. He didnt stop when he seen the lad stand up and tried a quick bollock shot. Got all he deserved

Fuck off did he, he stopped the old guy, then carried on when he had given up the fight and kneed him in the face. He should get done for it (I think... he was provoked but went way too far, ABH is the lesser of that and GBH isn't it?)

Why does no-one ever catch the start of these things. That could be completely justified or completely unjustified without the 10 seconds before it.

Low blow was a bit uncalled for. Every man must feel for him there.

Deserved it, young guy held off for a long time before retaliating to a man that wouldn't stop punching him

Old bloke deserved it, that knock to the balls proper got the lad. Love how someone shouts "punch him" and the guy trying to stop it says "what you mean pu" Boom! elbow goes in and the old cunt gets it.

i think the knee to the face at the end was fucking brilliant.
Without getting too deep, i think this video can be symbolic of life. Many of us have things digging away at us looking for a reaction or surrender. The old ish looking man in this case felt the wrath of retaliation rather than surrender.
I'll be disappointed if the black man gets anything other than a warning from the Police about his conduct.

I agree with you, it could be argued that it was a bit excessive but the old man had already shown he wouldn't back down. Imagine you're sitting on a train and for whatever reason some old guy starts punching you on the side of the head. As far as the video shows its the old man who starts throwing punches. If we can assume that was the point it got physical, no matter how much abuse has been given by either party, he threw the first punch. Even when the young guy looks like he's trying to be the bigger man and walk away, the cunt's still batting at him.
I don't know about anyone else but I know that there's a chance I'll come off worse for wear than the other guy if I hit him first. The old guy took this chance and it did not end well for him.
