Mike does so much weed and mushrooms it’s amazing he hasn’t had more medical events.

There's those words again:

medical emergency

I'm seeing those two words mentioned far too often these days.

Portraits of Ashe, Guevara, and Mao
Tyson’s tattoo of Che Guevara is derived from the photograph Guerrillero Heroico by Alberto Korda.

From 1992 to 1995, while in prison for the rape of Desiree Washington, Tyson read a large number of books, including works by Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong. Spike Lee sent Tyson a copy of tennis player Arthur Ashe’s deathbed memoir, Days of Grace. Tyson was moved by the book and respected Ashe’s ability to be nonconfrontational and admired his political views and his success as a black athlete in a white-dominated world. Tyson got prison tattoos of both men on his biceps: A portrait of Mao, captioned with “Mao” in all-caps, on the left; a portrait of Ashe beneath the words “Days of Grace” on the right. Gerald Early views the Mao and Ashe tattoos as together “symboliz[ing] both [Tyson’s] newfound self-control and his revision of black cool”, with Mao representing strength and authority. Clifton Brown in The New York Times describes the Ashe tattoo as “a contradiction” with Tyson’s “fits of rage”. Early and biographer Richard Hoffer cast the two bicep tattoos as an unusual combination of, in Hoffer’s words, “alternate icons”.

Tyson chose tattoos of Mao and Marxist revolutionary Che Guevara to reflect his anger at society and the government while in prison. The Guevara tattoo, located on the left side of Tyson’s abdomen, is derived from Alberto Korda’s iconic Guerrillero Heroico photograph. In the 2008 documentary Tyson, Tyson brags that the tattoo predated the widespread commodification of Guevara’s image. Tyson maintained positive views of both revolutionaries subsequently: In 1999 he described Guevara as “Someone who had so much but sacrificed it all for the benefit of other people.” In 2006 he visited the Chairman Mao Memorial Hall and said that he “felt really insignificant” in the presence of Mao’s body.

And the rapist didn’t die. Write again once he’s dead.
