I personally couldn't imagine provoking someone like Mike Tyson while he's sitting a foot away from me but...I guess I'm not this guy.
"Captured on video, Tyson punched Townsend in the head numerous times after he repeatedly harassed the former heavyweight champion. Townsend was sitting behind Tyson on their flight from San Francisco to Miami on Wednesday. In the clip, Townsend can be heard repeatedly saying Tyson’s name in an attempt to get his attention.
Tyson, 55, alleges that the incident got violent when Townsend threw a water bottle at the boxer-turned-cannabis entrepreneur.
Eventually, Tyson hit his breaking point and repeatedly punched Townsend, leaving him bruised and bloody. Both men were escorted off the plane and were greeted by law enforcement."

He’s also known as the Florida Trailer thief

Has he taken the crown from Twisted-Tea Guy?

You could see Tyson was pulling his punches. Hope that guy doesn't try to get paid, what a sad looking compo face.
yeaaadude
It sucks they had to take mike off the plane too. Most people on planes are going somewhere to do something
PalaverQuader
well obviously he assaulted somebody violently on an airplane. But also everyone is happy with it as long as Tyson does it? both deserve it.
yeaaadude
Well to back it up I think if it’s clear one party was the aggressor on a plane chuck them off. Guy was being a douche, off with him

That could have been a hell of a lot worse. If Mike Tyson really wanted to hurt this guy instead of teaching him a lesson, he'd have gone

straight to the hospital, not into the waiting arms of the police. If not the morgue.

What an absolute shit thing to do to Tyson. FA, FO!

Is Mike Tyson ok?
AgamemnonsMemes
No but in this instance yes.

I was trying to make a joke from Jackass when Johnny Knoxville boxed Butterbean. “Is Butterbean ok?”

Mike Tyson probably gets provoke all the time, he’s very passive and calm. That guy on the plane is a douche canoe

Mike Tyson is a rapist.
HisBabes
The airline is at fault too. Even if Mike wasn’t famous they have a belligerent person harassing another passenger.
IAmAnthonyStark
I couldn’t agree more
theredacted
Over served much?
HisBabes
He was drunk before he got back n the plane so yep!
aintnothinbutahounddog28
I'm guessing there was cocaine involved as well as large amounts of booze. He's very hyper and twitchy
PigsWeGetWhatPigsDeserve
It was hard to see nobody speaking up for Mr. Tyson.

i kinda feel like, maybe the entire plane wanted to see this turn out exactly like it did? like, "hey leave that man alone! celebrities dont

owe you their time and attention just because theyre famous!" "but i just want an autograph from mike tyson" "wait, THE mike tyson?" "yeth"

"you gon' learn today, boy. better hope he dont kill yall"

I hate that this asshole will probably get a huge payday for his actions despite deserving that punch to the face.

"Townsend and Tyson were released when the former said that he would not be pressing charges."
IncorrigibleCorgi
Pressing charges and not suing are different
Iblamemyparentstoo
There's always civil court that's where the money is
ErshinMN
If he threw a water bottle at Tyson, would that not make it self-defense at that point?
Iblamemyparentstoo
Does that justify Mike punching him, that would be for the court to decide. But I'd bet dollars to dimes that guys going to sue Mike
Iblamemyparentstoo
You have to remember Mike is a professional boxer they are held to a higher standard in that regard
buzkilljoy
fuck that guy. mike was right. showed restraint, too. Tysons full punch force, 1600 joules, would have killed that pos

I kinda want to see him internally decapitate someone
natronnatron
Like, dive into their body and then punch their head off from the inside?
revenantape
Punch so hard that the neck guts and bones separate, with only the flesh keeping the head from touching the floor

From time to time, I punch my meat to the point it's safe to eat. Or do semething else idk.
Sandyundertones
Eh, I don't think either were right. Tyson has serious mental illness issues that he doesn't treat right, but they guy was a stupid asshole.
donthatemecauseimwittier
Are you serious? How much would you put up with? This guy fucked with him relentlessly.
Sandyundertones
That doesn't give anyone the right to assault anyone
donthatemecauseimwittier
It actual does. You have a right to defend yourself from attack. He was clearly under attack by a mushroom infused little asshole.
Sandyundertones
That man was absolutely no threat to Tyson, and you know it. I didn't ask about his legal right.
reverendfixxxer
I think it does, legally speaking. I'm not sure how laws might be interpreted while in flight, but if the man did throw a water bottle...
reverendfixxxer
then he committed felony assault/battery. During the BLM protests, law enforcement made successful claims that water bottles constitute...
donthatemecauseimwittier
Yes it does. Throwing something and/or personal contact constitutes aggression. You have a right to respond. That’s why is is not arrested.
