I think these 'paparazzos' need a few more punches, and a few punches for the mindless people that read their struff.
fed up with them all
Hey Mike, Hang in there Man. I'm sorry that people have to do these things to get in the news.

Too Many Lost
Tyson's rep says he was traveling with his 10-month old daughter when he was attacked by an overly aggressive paparazzi -- adding the boxer acted in self-defense to protect his child.

If true, I understand his concern w/ his 10 month old daughter, but .... he can't seem to stay out of trouble.
Sad.

@theRaginCajun....I'll do the work on you then Redneck. Are you so resentful of black folks because they've stolen every woman you've ever managed to get drunk enough to talk to you? Or is it simply a case of your shortcomings and inadequacies? Maybe a little penis envy from the big bad Cajun?
calostri
yeah after they get stolen they get rape by this m f chimps

@Blackgent99...These morons are way too frightened of black folks to do anything other than hide behind a web TV screen. This kind of glee is all they really have. Their women don't want them and their children mock them.

Why don't they just leave the guy alone already?!? We all know he is volatile. It's kinda like poking a stick at a rattle snake. You're better off just leaving it alone.

I hope Tyson isn't my cellmate when I refuse to pay for goverment forced health insurance.

I hope he is. Maybe having a black boyfriend will change your perspective.

I don't think much of Mike Tyson, never have, but I don't blame him for this.

Hey Obama Fan. I'm as far right as you can get. AND, I think it should legal for black stars and white stars to punch paparazzi. How does that fit into your whole "FOX people are racist" gag?
