Careful. If the roles/races were reversed, the White man would absolutely be sitting in prison right now.
Both of these guys are wrong. The idiot "fan" is a fucking jackass who probably deserved a punch in the face and should have shut up when he was asked to. At the same time, Mike Tyson is 55 fucking years old. A grown man with several children. A lifelong PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER.
And here he is on a plane, fighting a fan (for free) because he didn't want to listen to him talk anymore. NOT WANTING TO LISTEN TO SOMEONE TALK IS NOT FREE REIGN TO PUNCH THEM IN THE FUCKING FACE OVER AND OVER. Tyson should be in prison. Other moron should be banned from flights for pestering another passenger and instigating a fight. But Tyson was the one who broke the law... unless there's something we are missing.
If the moron fan laid a hand on Tyson, if he tapped him on the shoulder or w/e after Tyson had told him to shut up... this changes things a bit. Don't touch people is a generally good rule, but when they tell you to stop talking to them, they probably already want to hit you... so engaging in physical contact might provoke an unintentional physical response.
I really think the retard touched Tyson, and that was part that is missing from the footage. It escalated from this excitable, nervous, meth-head looking dude pestering Tyson, where Tyson (used to this shit by now) humors him for a bit. Tyson tires of the bullshit, and says "stop talking to me". A normal person would say "Okay, sorry to bother you" and shut his fucking mouth.
I have a suspicion that not only did the guy continue to babble, but that Tyson began ignoring him. Maybe put some headphones on or something. And the fan touched him. I think that's what set Tyson off. Guy touched his headphone or tapped him on the shoulder after pestering him for an hour... I might slap the shit out of someone in these circumstances, too. Don't touch people.
But since we didn't see that, it's just a suspicion of mine. Tyson might have just chimped out, which is unacceptable. Again, he's 55, he's been famous for a LONG TIME now, he's probably had hundreds of encounters with genuinely retarded or drunk/drugged fans whom were far more obnoxious than this idiot.. but this is the only time he beat the piss out of one like this. This indicates to me that something else happened. Tyson is a nigger, but he's on the higher end of the intelligence spectrum for niggers. He's been sober for a while now, and seems to have settled down and put together a post-fighting life.
There's this incorrect perception that professional fighters are easily provoked. This is not always the case. Think about it- a professional fighter is used to being punched in the face by his friend, over and over... and staying calm and relaxed while this is happening. If a man can keep his cool after eating a fucking left hook to the jaw, he should be able to keep his cool if a retarded fan is pestering him.
