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.
