At any rate, yet one more reason we could never go back to flying commercial.
When he trained in south Phoenix, we both favored the same Waffle House. I never spoke to him but my friends on the wait staff said that he was always very nice to them.

On another note, I’ve never seen anyone with a back and shoulders that wide. He was huge in him prime and even today, not someone to **** with! Dude got exactly what was coming to him.

If you ever get the chance to see the HBO recording of his Broadway show, it’s fascinating. I was really surprised how articulately he talked about his life and his past. He had much deeper insight than I expected, and a good sense of humor. He spoke very honestly about his past scandals and it was obvious he’d done a lot of introspection. It might be available in other mediums I’m not sure. It’s called Mike Tyson Undisputed Truth.

I really like Mike Tyson, and that jerk deserved to get clobbered, but in the eyes of the law it may come down in the idiot's favor. Excessive force will probably cost Tyson. If the idiot agitator gets a payday out of this, I'll be disgusted, but not surprised.

I’d love to be on that jury. I’d vote for the victim and give him 10 cents in damages. 1 penny for every blow.

Amazing. And then they're going to blame Mike. Who, of course, shouldn't have done it, but it's sad.

When you’re a public figure especially one like Mike Tyson you’re a target. This moron acting like a rabid animal, probably presenting a threat to Mr. Tyson. I’ve met Mike Tyson before. The last thing he wants to do is just haul off and start punching random people. This guy was begging for it. A true idiot. No charges! No nothing for the idiot harassing Tyson.

I like Mike Tyson.
His temper lasted longer than most people.
He didn’t want to hurt that idiot.
Screw that guy.

Yeah he definitely didn’t want to hurt the guy. One punch from Mike Tyson could rearrange that guy’s entire face. He was just rattling his cage a little bit to get him to stop. If Mike Tyson repeatedly punched anyone in the face, especially bear fisted, you wouldn’t have a face left. Lol

Mike Tyson's fists are LETHAL WEAPONS.

Tyson should be arrested for repeatedly punching that guy, his fellow passenger, regardless whether the other guy is a jerk with a rap sheet himself or whether or not he declined to press charges.

Arrest Tyson first and let him spend a night in jail, and then, if the DA wants to drop the charges afterwards, so be it. That's how it works for most people. Tyson was treated unfairly well.

Young men seeing Tyson get away with that may be emboldened by his actions.
