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.

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

LOL!!!!

If they had evidence, they would have popped him 7 weeks ago. They threw him to the wolves!

But then of course it'll be martial law for whitey.

You know, I'm getting this itchy feeling in the back of my scalp (usually only happened before a rocket/mortar attack) that the reason Obama/Holder are not stepping in to calm things down is that they're hoping this will explode into a full-fledged race riot. With Obama's poll number in the cellar his hopes for re-election are almost gone. However, with cities burning because of race riots, martial law can be declared (wouldn't put it past Obama/Holder) and Obama can rule as he's aways wanted. No pesky Constitution to worry about.

Not quite sure about the details on how they'd pull it off, but those two have been awfully quiet about the Martin/Zimmerman problem. Reminds me of a mosquito, when they stop making noise they're into something.

seems like we live in times where nearly anything’s possible...no possibility is too ridiculous to consider except peace and sanity...people are on edge and in an atmosphere like that agitprop can be, i sense, very effective.

Has anyone seen Mike’s other brain cell?

He lost it when he was cheering the news that OJ got away with killing his white wife... over-did the whooping and clapping.

I think that Congress would act and a 5/4 Scotus decision would overrule obama and then on to impeachment.

Oh wait... sorry... I forgot about boehner and cantor... my bad.

“Because of this connection of the two concepts, it is often argued that only Congress can declare martial law, because Congress alone is granted the power to suspend the writ. The President, however, is commander-in-chief of the military, and it has been argued that the President can take it upon himself to declare martial law. In these times, Congress may decide not to act, effectively accepting martial law by failing to stop it; Congress may agree to the declaration, putting the official stamp of approval on the declaration; or it can reject the President's imposition of martial law, which could set up a power struggle between the Congress and the Executive that only the Judiciary would be able to resolve.”

The real disgrace is that Mike Tyson is NOT still behind bars.

I have decided to purchase an AR-15 finally, I need something that can lay down fire. I’m taking their words seriously and ready to protect my family. Already own a shotgun and a .22 but it’s time to get something serious.
