Did we forget he was convicted of rape..

[Vendettos]

First of all, rape is dumb in America, they are thick. Tupac went to prison for "sodomy and rape" which went down as the equivalent of grabbing a chicks ass, there was no entry through the vag nor the back end at all. He was given up to 4 1/2 years


Secondly, Desiree Washington (the victim) was massively discredited and her story was never consistent.
There were no marks on her body.
The entire evidence was her word.
SHE HAD A HISTORY OF MAKING UP LIES ABOUT BEING RAPED.

Third off, the max sentence if guilty was 60+ years (63 I think), and they only gave him 3 years.

I'm skeptical about this whole rape thing. Hard to believe that a multi million pound boxer has to rape someone, when he could simply walk down stairs and pick up 95% of the chicks he sees.


That bitch got boned hard then told to catch a cab, he was trying to fuck a groupie, and she was trying to get a husband. She got pissed off when he threw her $10 dollars for her $11 dollar cab ride home and decided to make some shit up.

Well if it was clear-cut like Paulie Ayala, IBeabuchi, ect I think it would be different.

But I think a lot of people felt, and still feel, like Mike was shafted and was innocent on that charge.

Not saying Mike was the greatest guy towards women and didn't do questionable things with them, but in reading about that particular case it seems kind of shady.

Shit sticks he was convicted, he was found guilty he went to Prison, weather he did it or not
he's still , a rapist in the eye of the Law.
Tyson was a brute a drunk, and druggy, convicted rapist hardly a role model, do I feel sorry
for him NO, he made his decisions he lives by them.

Mike Tyson was set up by the Mafia because he didn't want to fix fights. Pure and simple.

Really ,you'd think they would have picked (from all their working girls) a much better looking woman than that one! She wasn't the best, certainly no more than a 4.8 out of ten.

Now we are talking about it, I want to know what she did with the pay out.(what she get btw?)

I recon Tyson had a lot more testosterone to deal with than the rest of us. He seems like a nice fellow these days now nature has settled it down in him.

The justice system doesn't always work. Just because he was convicted doesn't mean people can't doubt the decision.

Mike was a piece of shit for sure, but I have serious doubts as to that guilty verdict.

When you have even women saying "why did she go to his hotel room at 2am" then I think it explains the way society generally view these type of "rape" cases.

Therefore Tyson is a rapist but not really a "bad" rapist (Just incase Missy reads this, it's not my view, merely how I believe the majority view it. Rape is rape.)

I don't think anyone has forgotten; many just don't care.

It's part of a societal problem in many places around the world: sexism, male-privilege.

Tyson's violent past was already known in 1986, BEFORE he won his 1st World Title.
Everyone knew this was a 19 year old kid that had been arrested multiple times, had been in reform schools, and had mugged and beaten little old ladies when he was 13 and 14 years old.

At Tyson's peak in 1988, Larry Holmes was offered a pile of money to come out of retirement and challenge Tyson.
He was asked about the Mike Tyson phenomenon, and Larry knew about the sociopathic history and stated that Mike Tyson was no credit to boxing and would ultimately self-destruct, put himself in prison somehow.

Of course people got all p!$$ed off at Larry that time, shouting "jealousy"", because everyone was crazy about Tyson right then, Tyson was on the cover of loads of magazines, not just boxing magazines neither, and was in the news regularly for his Boxing accomplishments, and on tv shows and had endorsement deals.

Larry knew Tyson's dark past and wasn't giving him a by like all the millions and millions of fans did and continue to do.

To me rape isn't rape just like crime isn't crime, I don't look at a shoplifter the same way I look at a murderer and I don't look at a rapist who forcibly held a girl down, threatened to kill her if she told anyone or tried to escape, and raped her as she cried the same way I would look at a guy who had what he thought was consentual sex but it turned out she had been drinking, or she later said she was thinking no without saying it, ect ect.
