That said, we have an idea of how stupid the guy is that Tyson hit since he was stupid enough to pester MIKE TYSON!
Why are you people so weak and thin skinned? I realize now that harassment is too much for you snowflakes, which is why you defend Tyson here. Sticks and stones may break my bones but words also are turning me into a victim who cannot control myself. This is who some of you people are.
Given the amount of research that has been done and how far we have moved away from being ok with bullying people, it surprises me that people like you still exist and are so vocal of your support of bullying others. You should be ashamed, but I'm sure you lack that ability. You even resort to name calling and bullying here, just a sad example that this problem still very much exists. Sad.

Again it is sad that words have so much power over you. Work on that weakness.

hahahahahahahahahaha! That was just too easy.
hahahahahahahahaha. Keep going, can you resist replying? Bet you can't?
Mike will likely lose a chunk of money in a lawsuit. He needs to know better. All he had to do was notify a flight attendant. That is their job. The kid is a punk, but he will get a nice paycheck out of it. He's probably looking at a five-figure settlement.
All Mike has to do is counter-sue the guy.
- Harassment.
- Assault & battery (throwing water bottle)
- Civil suit for creating unsafe conditions on a flight.
- Putting Mike at risk of physical harm by bringing too much public attention to a celebrity on a flight & putting the celebrity at risk of physical harm from multiple other random passengers who could possibly decide to jump in and try to fight the celebrity, especially a tough guy celebrity who is known for fighting.
- Monetary compensation for causing Mike's professional/celebrity reputation to suffer & the resulting financial consequences thereof, losing potential endorsements, speaking engagements, appearances, etc.
- Whatever else the legal team can dream up.
- The lawsuits can also include the guy having to pay for Mike's legal fees, ha!
Mike can bury the guy in legal costs. If the guy is smart, he will realize he has nothing financial to gain, that he will waste time in court instead of working and earning money, and that he will be publicly humiliated by looking like a huge jacka$.
Better for Mike to lose a few bucks paying for his legal team to do this, that allow some loser to take money from Mike.
No, Tyson has already dealt with the problem and moved on. Real men wouldn't do the stuff you listed.
Not much sympathy for the guy who got pounded, but Tyson really should know better at this point in his life with all he has been through. Tyson is a felon. A convicted rapist and a registered offender. Tyson probably made upwards of $300 mil in his pro career and wound up bankrupt. He's had trouble with drugs and even lost a young daughter. Tyson got a new lease on life in the 2010s by going sober and launching a new media career. He recently has been training for boxing exhibitions and doing some pro-wrestling appearances. Tyson has had some of the biggest second chances in all of sports and entertainment. It is pretty unbelievable that underneath it all he hasn't really changed that much.
The guy is drunk and being a total a-hole to Mike Tyson, Mike Tyson keeps telling him to leave him alone, and when the guy finally gets what he has coming to him, he goes to the police?
What is wrong with people? He got punched and he deserved to get punched.
100% agree. Mike Tyson was harassed and the moment the guy touched Tyson that counts as assault. Tyson was in the right and will win in court. This is the problem with the younger people today they think they can get away with anything. Tyson is actually a decent guy he just wanted to be left alone and the guy was being disgusting to him.
Yeah, I’m with most of this, but you lost me with “Tyson is actually a decent guy…”. He’s a convicted rapist who spent 6 years in prison for his crime.
I get you are just trying to be a troll or you are just an idiot - but even you, with an IQ below 30, have to see that your false equivalency is problematic when, in that entirely different situation leading to the punch, Chris Rock did not go to the police. Thanks, idiot.
As someone who is significantly smarter than you, I am asking you to explain why Tyson is justified in resorting to physical violence and Will Smith is not. Answer the question instead of disparaging your superior.
This has got to be satire. It's kind of sad that it's often hard to tell the difference these days on LR.

You know, and I know, and the guy knew, that Mike Tyson has only one card to play.

He taunted him. Snap.
So it is like putting a quarter in the vending machine. That is what you believe. Out comes a snack or a smack.

Of course ... UNLESS the other guy presses charges and/or sues him. Then, Mike is unable to simply "move on" as you suggested, because he has to deal with some jerk being even more of a jerk. In which case, notice that I said COUNTER-sue. I wasn't suggesting that Tyson should waste his time doing all of this, unless in response to legal action from the guy. My point was that the guy couldn't get very far with legal action, because Tyson could do any/all of the above in response.

If Mike Tyson could have walked away, then I would say he was out of line. But Mike shouldn't have to endure that.

Because Will Smith wasn’t assaulted with an object by a heavily intoxicated individual invading his personal space after a warning.
That shouldn’t be difficult for you to comprehend “significantly smart” guy.
It's also, in part, because at least some people could beat Will Smith, and many more probably THINK they could so long as they never have to prove it, in a fight but almost no one could beat Mike Tyson, so he gets a little more leeway from people to do whatever he wants, even from the safe distance of the keyboard.
But you're not wrong either, of course. There's a lot going on.

Significantly smarter yet you don't seem to recognize the difference between harassment and a rehearsed joke, nor a tight plane, and a stage.
