Mike Tyson on Trayvon Martin case: ‘It’s a disgrace [George Zimmerman] hasn’t been shot yet’
Yahoo! News ^ | April 11, 2012 | Dylan Stableford

Mike Tyson thinks that George Zimmerman deserves violent retribution for the shooting of Trayvon Martin.

In an interview with Yahoo News about his upcoming one-man show in Las Vegas, the former heavyweight champion sounded off on the polarizing case:

"My personal feeling is that, as a young kid that was beat on by a bully, that was pretty much singled out—the guy [Zimmerman] stalked him, didn't follow instructions from a superior officer, when they said, "Stop following the kid." That tells you everything right there. But my all-around perspective, I wasn't there, I don't know what happened. But it's just so widespread and overt what happened. Even though this is the best country in the world, certain laws in this country are a disgrace to a nation of savages. It's a majority versus a minority. That's the way God planned it. He didn't want to do something about it, He wanted us to do something about it.

The existence of a second brain cell was only a rumor.

It’s a disgrace that Tyson is allowed out of his cage.

I just have this funny feeling...if Zimmerman goes down, whoa baby, is there going to be hell to pay.

I wish that were true, but I have yet to see any meaningful outrage among the decent folks in this country. We should have been in full revolt by now if Americans still kept our founding ideals. I guess we'll see.

The truth of this situation is this: if Zimmerman is acquitted, blacks will riot. If Zimmerman is found guilty, whites (and white hispanics) should riot, but I'm not sure they will.

I thought the dispatcher advised Zimmerman that ‘he didn’t have to follow (Trayvon) and Zimmerman said “OK.” At some point Zimmerman broke off and returned to his truck because the final altercation occurred on a concrete sidewalk. That’s where Trayvon walked up behind him and where the altercation occurred.

Naaahhh,there'll be big trouble if he's not tried or is found not guilty but that's it.IMO that's why the state is prosecuting.Our nation's Attorney Corporal will prosecute because that's part of Osama Obama's scorched earth campaign strategy.

This is bright! We are hearing a man who thought he was losing a boxing match and thought it would be wise to bite the man’s ear off. That’s just great! Listen to him.

I wonder what Mike’s thoughts are on the disputes between Thomas Paine and Edmund Burke on hereditary entitlements.

Hell, that would've been just as funny even before the moron had his four brain cells pureed !

Remember ......
It is an election year. Attention must be diverted and false consensus formed by the magic media.
Therefore a sacrificial lamb must be brought forth.

As for Tyson - yeah there’s a class act. He’s living proof that money cannot by class nor education. I know a thug when I see one.

It’s going to be a long hot summer.

That press conference was beyond ridiculous. Corey was incredibly unprofessional in my opinion.

What do you think of the charge though? It seems to me the state has taken on an impossibly heavy burden. Do you think she has evidence, or do you think she has purposely taken on a losing proposition.......?
