Wasn’t it because he did it again and again?
I believe it was specifically calling Buzz a ‘liar’ and a ‘coward’ that earns dipshit a knuckle sandwich.
Buzz Aldrin’s defence in court:
“Your honour, that video of me punching that guy is totally staged and fake, and I was never there.”
It was well deserved. Let’s not forget: Buzz knew a fair few people who died in the pursuit of that dream, and the astronaut profession in general. The crew of Apollo 1, astronauts who died during training, Challenger, Columbia…
He is well aware that it takes a lot of guts to strap yourself to a rocket and that some have paid the ultimate price for it. And here’s a guy who calls him a liar and coward. If anything, Buzz went soft on him.
Thank you for using POV correctly

I got you on Google tracker removal in return:
Ahaha never seen the remix. Judge letting Buzz off was sweet justice - calling him a coward and a liar, honestly.
Dude’s 94 & still going!
The video is typically titled “Aldrin punches conspiracy theorist” but it should include “Punches whiney, obnoxious, harassing moron” to help this guy find his place in history.
The cherry on top is that the court did not pursue assault charges citing that it was instigated. I read it as “deserved”
I always heard the harassing was very bad.
Yes, it’s why he got off scot-free instead of with a slap on the wrist.
Apparently it reality checked the guy, though, iirc he ended up apologizing?
I’ve watched that video a dozen times and even in the heavily edited video you can tell the guy won’t leave him alone. That was apparently the third interaction they had
Bart Sibrel is a conspiracy theorist, liar, and a grifter and wiki makes it sound like he had it coming. Say what you want about “patriotism” and “heros” and the military industrial complex; Buzz Aldrin climbed on top of a rocket and rode it into space and was only the second person to step foot on another celestial body. He was a fighter pilot before that and was the first astronaut with a PhD. He lost close personal friends in the space program, they all did. IMO he be allowed another jab if he wants.
