The funny part is if you or I punched someone who was harassing us on a plane we would be viewed as violent unpredictable criminals, should be locked up, etc.

Really? I thought it was a requirement to get into a fist fight before any flight departing MIA...

The stupid decision was on the part of the guy chirping at Tyson. Watch this, hold my beer.

Looks like the “fan” was egging Tyson on. Not condoning what Tyson did in response, but I’m betting the “fan” is going to have a shitty lawyer bring a lawsuit against him.

I read a different article earlier which said that Tyson posed for a selfie with the guy. I guess that wasn't enough for his drunk ass, as he kept chirping in Tyson's ear. It also showed a picture of the guy with a cut on his face afterwards. By no means did it look like he was pummeled by Tyson. I'm not condoning the behavior but play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Dumb ass.

It's odd how calm he remained when a gun was pulled on him at a country club but couldnt take this guy babbling at him:

I'm guessing Mike's never had any anger management counseling. Debate in Mike's mind: ring the call button and let them know this guy is bothering him or just turn around and visit some consequences on him. Hmmm....

Go Mike! There really isn't enough people being punched in the face these days. when I grew up you generally had a bit of fear to disrespect and harass someone you don't (or do) know. there's a good chance if the guy didn't like what you said you'd get a fat lip or a black eye... put you back in your place.

The world would be such a more respectful and honorable place if you were allowed to punch someone in the face when a line has been crossed. it's the CHECK and the BALANCE we are missing. it's not violence or assault, it's a physical reminder of who you are and what you are about to get involved in BEFORE it turns to violence... this little "gesture" often avoided the need for any violence.... if it didn't deter it, well then it would be settled right then and there and you have answers within a few breaths.

yep.

Im sure tyson was like, "dude, leave me alone" a few times but of course the fuckwits friend didnt get that on camera."

If I was on that plane, having seen that chode act like that for god knows how long (since the video cuts out) I would have been one of those "I didnt see anything" types.

also pretty funny to show how far fox business has fallen that this is where they posted this story...

I believe TMZ reported that the idiot has a lot of prior run-ins with the law, including several arrests. He's no genius, that's for sure, but it's also being reported that he has now hired a high profile lawyer with the possible intention to sue.

What a society we live in, where a dirt bag can harass someone to the point of exhaustion and then find a way to make money off of it.

People should not be allowed to harass someone to the point where they get their asses whipped then sue. It shocks me that any man would just sit there and take a barrage of insults etc. At some point if the ones in control are not going to deal with the situation then I would.
