Mike Tyson: It‘s a ’Disgrace‘ George Zimmerman Hasn’t Been Shot Yet

Former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson said he thinks it’s a “disgrace” George Zimmerman “hasn’t been shot yet“ or ”dragged out of his house and tied to a car and taken away.”
Tyson made the comments during an interview with Yahoo News published Wednesday. Asked to sound off on the Trayvon Martin case, he said: “I wasn’t there, I don’t know what happened. But it’s just so widespread and overt what happened.”
Zimmerman was charged with second-degree murder late Wednesday in the shooting of the unarmed Florida teen.
Yahoo News has Tyson’s full comments:
“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. And if we don’t, it’s gonna stay this way. We have to continue tweeting, we have to continue marching, we have to continue fighting for Trayvon Martin. If that’s not the case, he was killed in vain, and we’re just waiting for it to happen to our children. He’ll have gotten away with impunity. It‘s a disgrace that man hasn’t been dragged out of his house and tied to a car and taken away. That’s the only kind of retribution that people like that understand. It‘s a disgrace that man hasn’t been shot yet. Forget about him being arrested–the fact that he hasn’t been shot yet is a disgrace. That’s how I feel personally about it.” [Emphasis added]
Tyson was convicted of rape in 1992 and served three years in prison.

Posted on April 12, 2012 at 11:26amHey Mikey, I lived on an island in the Caribbean, and was white, and was beaten to a pulp daily, until I learned to fight, and I fought good. Did that make me want to follow any black person and gun them down – hell no. A bully can only be a bully if you let them be a bully. I also had to leave the island, when a civil war broke out, I’ve seen death on the streets – due to Socialized Democracy, which is happening here. Things are going to go downhill from here my friends, mark my words. Prepare of the hell on earth to come! As to Mikey, wanting someone to shoot Zimm, he has no facts, yet he spews his hate and lies. Come to my town Mikey, I’ll fist fight ya, and smack you down like the clown that you are, I’m not afraid of you pinhead! You are nothing more than a tattooed loser, druggie, wife beater, and hate monger; just like Al Sharptongue and Calypso Loooey, full of yourselves and hate. Damn there are a lot of idiots out there, amazing!

Posted on April 12, 2012 at 11:33amMike Tyson used to be a street thug before he became a boxer.

Had Zimmerman been on watch in Tyson’s youth, Tyson wouldn’t even be here to speak.

Why is that news other than additional grist for the ensuing war that is going to start when George Zimmerman‘s trial results in the exonification of Mr Zimmerman and the whole truth coming out about little ol’ Trayvon making the mistake of beating the living sh####t out of a man carrying a gun. A man who proceeded to draw said weapon and defend himself with legal deadly force. Children of all ages should resist primal urges with the understanding that some of us are packing heat and any attempt to rob, rape, assault-n-batter might very well end with the perpetrator breaking out in an ugly raw rash of bullet hole-itis.

Anyone who has faced their bullies like UNIX and I have, knows how liberating it is to your soul.
Winning or Losing does not matter, but Winning doesn’t $uc#, either.
You refuse to be a victim to a individual bully or a group of nefarious global bankster bullies that literally own the world, and are Seriously attempting to gain legal possesion of our surrounding planets.
I would back UNIX vs.Tyson because he has overcome fear, faced his fear, beat what he feared and now has the confidence to carry out his claim. Confidence is key, in addition to overcoming a fear.
A liberal asks the government to protect them from what they fear.
Now, in regards to this idiot Tyson.
It is a disgrace to be convicted for Rape.
It is a disgrace to be convicted of punching-out elderly women.
It is a disgrace to chew off another persons ear under any condition, especially in a professional forum
under the global spotlight.
Shut your pie-hole Mike, because you are not Zimmerman or a witness, so you don’t have a clue about this case, much less anything else.
Get on a horse and ride off into the sunset, so I never have to see your disgrace of a face again.

How about continuing to get your ass out of this country and starting one of your own, like Calypso Louie wants?
Or I’d be for giving the whole lot of you two states and building a 100 foot wall around it. And when the entire population failed to feed themselves and had one failed government after another and eventually resorted to fighting and killing each other, I’d be for dropping food and medicine into the two state area and just waiting until they finished each other off.
I think everybody should get what he wants.

Never know when these thugs are going to come out of the holes they are crawling out of. I do not look for trouble but that doesn’t seem to matter anymore.

I guess that was aimed at me.. I’ll take a shot at it.
I don‘t actually know what ethnicity Obama’s mother was. I‘ve researched it and it’s a bit of an enigma. It would not surprise me one bit to learn that she was Jewish. I know that they attended a Unitarian Church. I know that she attended a HS around Seattle that was known for its Marxist tendencies, she didn’t like the America of her time and she was into Marxist black guys..
Like I said, it woudn’t surprise me one bit to learn that she was Jewish; however I can say without a doubt that Obama is not Muslim. And I can also without a doubt that Obama was hand picked to run this country by a Jewish elite and they stand behind him and promote him even today.. That’s without question.
Is Obama Jewish? I can‘t say with certainty one way or the other but I will say he’s not Muslim..
