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.
