Mike Tyson ‘Punches Passenger Repeatedly’?

A viral video shows Mike Tyson punching a plane passenger, but the speaker doubts it's real because the victim has no visible injuries. The bigger question: should we treat Tyson as a spiritual guru now when his past includes biting an ear, punching fans, and killing his daughter's pigeon in rage?
Chapters
So Mike Tyson has apparently repeatedly punched a passenger just before a flight. This news is, uh, flying around the internet, and it's actually raised some questions, some social and moral dilemmas I've been thinking for a couple of years. So I don't know if you've seen the news that Mike Tyson has apparently repeatedly punched a passenger on an aeroplane. First thing I wanna say about that is, I've seen a video of a passenger goading and teasing, apparently even throwing a bottle of water at Mike Tyson. If you're gonna do that against probably the most vicious man that's ever lived, then you're an idiot. And if you end up getting punched or slapped by Mike Tyson, who's got a proven track record for nearly killing people, you're a dick. Just saying. Now look, um, I actually wondered if this video was fake and if he actually had repeatedly punched this passenger, um, because there's a video of him sort of smiling away with a couple of little scratches around his head. And to be honest, if you'd been punched repeatedly by Mike Tyson, you would not look that good. However, I want to address the proper moral and social dilemma here. So Mike Tyson has become somewhat of a lifestyle guru. He's on virtually every massive podcast, you know, saying how much he's a changed man, how he's zen, how he's chilled, and how he's changed. I just wonder though if Mike Tyson is the kind of lifestyle guru that we should be pedestalizing. Number one, he smokes loads of weed. Now maybe it's legal where he is, but I don't know if the science is conclusive enough yet to have, you know, to basically say that smoking a load of weed, that is the great life role model. Number 2 is he's pretty frickin' aggressive. Now, let me know what you think. Did you see this viral news article? Honestly, I reckon it might be fake, but I'd love to see actual footage of him repeatedly punching. If he repeatedly punches a passenger, that passenger is dead. So, but he has got a history. Apparently he elbowed a fan for wanting to take a selfie. He told a story of how basically he had a favorite pigeon, the pigeon died, he wanted to keep the cage, someone got rid of the cage and apparently he punched him on the temple, knocked him out clean cold so that the guy was convulsing. Why would you do that? Someone like that should not be being beauty paraded on every top podcast in the world as our new lifestyle guru. Now, I do believe everyone should have a second chance. I do believe we should be given the chance to change. But look, this guy is an animal. And you can smoke weed as much as you like, but I'm not sure you can take the animal out of Monsieur Tyson. Said with humble respect in case he watches this video. But maybe we should respect that the man's an animal. Maybe that is his purpose. Maybe he shouldn't be the lifestyle spiritual sage guru being paraded on all of these podcasts. So I just want to pick out some of his quotes. Apparently these are his top 12 quotes. Number 1: I wish one of you guys had children so I could kick them in their fucking head or stomp on their testicles so you could feel my pain. That was one of his quotes. I'll come back to that in a moment. I rushed him and caught him flush on the temple with a titanic right hand and he was out cold convulsing. On the floor. I was going to rip his heart out. My main objective in the fight is to be a professional but to kill him. This is maybe who Mike Tyson really is. He's a fighter. Maybe he isn't a spiritual guru, because quite a few people have been saying to me, oh, Mike Tyson, he's my new spiritual guru, you know, his podcasts are amazing. And I'm thinking, really? Really? Just, you know, just be careful about that. Anyway, one thing I do want to say, I And I've thought this also for a while. Mike Tyson's 2-year-old daughter died in his gym. She got trapped and strangled on some of his equipment. And I have the deepest sympathy for anyone who would have to go through that. And no wonder the man is hurt. No wonder the man is in pain. No wonder the man is lashing out at the world. Um, yeah, so Yeah, I just want to send out some love for that. I'm having a discussion point. I'm not judging anyone because, um, I just thought, well, Mike Tyson, he's on every podcast and like everyone's like, this is this changed spiritual guru. But, um, I wonder if there are other people more qualified on the spiritual side, like, like maybe for example Deepak Chopra or Sadhguru, and maybe Mike Tyson is the fighter. Can you change who you are if you're an animal? Or should you accept that you're an animal? Is there an animal in all of us? I do think that we should all be given a second chance. You could say that Mike Tyson's got a lot of life experience that we could all learn from. I also did want to say that until I see pictures, video footage of Mike Tyson repeatedly punching this guy in the face, then I think it's fake. Um, because if you watch the video, the guy's got a little tiny graze and he's laughing. And if you go Mike Tyson, you're the fool. Beautiful. Anyway, let me know what you think. Um, not necessarily one of the most, um, you look, these moral and topical discussions I think are important. And sometimes people say things like, oh Rob, why are you talking about Mike Tyson? Why are you talking about Meghan Markle? Why are you talking about Piers Morgan? Well, the thing is, if I just say Hmm, you know, if you've got fight instinct inside of you, is that who you are, or can you change and become a spiritual guru? It doesn't have the same specificity, it doesn't have the same relatedness, but we hold these people in our society in high regard. Meghan Markle, Mike Tyson, Piers Morgan— these people influence millions. They are held in high societal regard. So, um, these is— this is why I think these are good topical discussions. I just want to say I really don't judge. I only like to judge if I know the person personally. Um, but I wouldn't goad Mike Tyson on a plane. I wouldn't throw a bottle of water at him. I would let him have my seat. I'd let him have my sandwich. I'd let him have my plane food. That's the idiot. Anyway, let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks for tuning in. Do we all deserve the second chance? Can we change if we've got a dark and sordid past? Should we be, you know, the spiritual guru parading on all of these podcasts? However, anyone who loses their daughter in their gym strangled by their equipment, age 2, I just— massive love and sympathy, and no wonder that person is hurting, in pain. Um, so they're my thoughts. Let me know what you think. Hit the share button. Thanks for tuning in, and remember, if you don't risk anything, you risk everything.
