Probably thought ol' Buzz was too old to deck him. He was wrong.

Unfortunately, that will probably cost him.

This was a few years ago. I can't remember if he was charged.

Buzz Aldrin may have been the second man to walk on the moon, but he was the first to knock a troll into outer space.

The famed Apollo astronaut faced possible battery charges back in September 2002 after he was confronted by a moon-landing conspiracy theorist who claimed that his famous moonwalk with Neil Armstrong never happened.

"Why don't you swear on the Bible that you walked on the moon?" Aldrin was asked incessantly by the heckler as he tried to go about his daily business.

Then 72-year-old Aldrin pleads one last time between the wannabe detective’s stream of spittle for him to "get away," but the camel's back is about to break.

“You're a coward, and a liar, and a <mmmph> thief!" An expert right-hook from Aldrin forces the last word of that sentence back into the mouth from whence it came, and sends his cowardly accuser reeling.

No charges:

Those charges, of course, were dropped a short time later when the LA County District Attorney's office found that the totality of the evidence suggested the encounter was instigated by Aldrin’s so-called victim, and that a jury would be unlikely to declare the legendary Apollo astronaut guilty in court.

Point being, don't mess with an American hero. That turd's lucky there weren't any other patriotic folks around that were proud as hell to be American and watch Neil and Buzz bouncing around on the Moon.
