Buckshot Bear Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Did Mike Tyson get arrested for bashing the person on the plane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sun Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The guy was able to walk off the plane with both ears intact. After reportedly "poking the bear" multiple times, I'd say he got lucky. I don't think that Tyson has been charged with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 The report I read said the guy was drunk and had been causing problems in a bar at the airport too. Started in on Tyson from the seat behind and got popped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chantry Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 Not yet. The person who was harassing him is a convicted felon (mainly drug related offenses) who doesn't want to press charges and hasn't said very much to the police. Apparently about month some guy pointed a gun at Tyson. Tyson deescalated things without violence and ended up hugging the guy who pointed the gun at him.

Subdeacon Joe Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Tough one. On the one hand I think that loudmouthism shouldn't be without consequence. On the other hand, should I be allowed to pummel anyone who heckles me? And Tyson,. A highly trained fighter who could quite easily kill an untrained person with a couple of punches. And a public figure who has been at the center of some pretty nasty controversy. I have trouble with his seeming lack of self-discipline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Mosby Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Lord I hope this doesn't turn into another Smith/Rock 24/7 media feeding frenzy! Both were in the wrong. Do I feel bad for the punchee? Nope. Should Tyson have ignored him? Yup. Do I condemn him for punching the drunk? Nope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He used just enough force to solve the problem.. This doesn't mean he did the correct thing, but we have a theory while he had a situation, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because there’s violence involved doesn’t necessarily mean it’s emotional. If anyone can control there emotions in a situation I would say it’s a professional fighter . If you’re a carpenter you’re solution is usually to use a hammer . He solved the problems with the strongest tools in his skill set . If this guy had even half a brain he knew what was coming. And if not life’s allot harder for stupid people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe LaFives #5481 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 The correct response in this day and age is to ring the attendant. This isn't rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widder, SASS #59054 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 WE watch Gus in Lonesome Dove and adore his reaction to the rude bartender. Some folks think its an appropriate reaction to an inappropriate action created by the bar tender. Kudus to GUS, our hero. Mike Tyson does the same thing and gets judged totally opposite from GUS. Not from me. Rude behavior has gotten out of hand. Will Smith smacked Chris Rock because he felt like Chris had joked about his wife's medical condition..... made fun of her. I would have smacked him also. Mike Tyson get harassed, taunted, aggravated, pestered, etc....... and if the guy can't shut his mouth, Mike shuts it for him.. I got no problem with that. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a drunk trying to start a fight. "Call the stewardess. She'll stop it." Really? If the plane was not moving yet, then yeah, call the stewardess. She'll get the captain, and they'll kick the drunk off the plane. But if they're in the air, I don't see what she can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Devil Dale Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 There were alternatives, and we could debate how much obligation Tyson had to use them. But as said earlier, he had a situation to deal with and had every right to defend himself from a verbal attack turned physical. When the guy threw a water bottle at him, the alternatives melted away. Just as they would for me. Tyson's response was within the realm of his legal rights.

He or she will ask him to stop. If he doesn't, he has violated Federal Law (failure to obey the instructions of flight personnel). She can then ask Mike or others to subdue him legally and he'd get cuffed with wire ties and they Divert the Flight, He is arrested on the spot.
