Corner

Let’s get them back together and Teddy in the corner! Might sound crazy but that’s the kind of world we live in right now! Haha

I bet you were the type of kid who would petsnakes you found in the garden in the hope that they would become your friends.

I'm the type that knows the difference from a pet and a child!

[Bronx2245]

You would've pooped in your pants before threatening Tyson bare handed, 15 years old or not.

I guess I grew up different? In my hood, grown men held a certain stature, so even if you were athletically superior (which was a lot of us) you took the ass whooping, and dealt with the shame. In the BX, in the 80s, most coaches of 16U in any sport, would know how to discipline without pulling a gun! Surprised to know this is so acceptable now?

The kind that knows at 15 Mike Tyson was 235-230 pounds of pure muscle and unadulterated rage. The kind that knows that after he inappropriately touched your niece that unless he put the fear of god in the child, the child would grow to become a felon. Partly he was right on this account. He saw what others did not and it proved true. Cus while a savior for Mike let him get away with far too much without wholistic discipline. The proof: Mike’s downfall, from Elite champion in his prime to undisciplined regular fighter, became a felon and served his time.

No, I think it has more to do about sour g****s. Cus liked Mike more than he like Teddy and it must've really burned him on the inside. The bitter old man was jealous then and he is still jealous now of Mike Tyson. Mike lives in his head rent free.

This whole time I thought the story was a much older Mike Tyson tried to physically force himself on his niece. This is not half as bad as I thought. It certainly doesn’t warrant a gun to his head. 15 year old boys do ****** stuff like that. Especially a city kid. What did he think was going to happen? Was he planning on killing him for THAT? Unless it was something much worst that I’m missing, I wouldn’t even reach out to him if I was Mike Tyson.

It obviously didn’t work because Mike went on to become a convicted rapist.

Teddy should have put the fear of god into him and set him straight. He didn’t go far enough

Tyson isn’t ******, that’s why he said let’s meet up first & have a conversation. Had Teddy agreed, Mike would have then went to his charity event. I think that’s fair.

Teddy should not lose his balls now. There are some things that should never be forgiven and what Tyson did is one of them.

I'm sure Desiree Washington wishes Teddy pulled the trigger.

What kind of piece of sh.it human being think it’s ok to put a gun to a child’s head? Phuck teddy atlas!

Or how about this: what "kind of piece of sh.it human being" that child should have been so that normal guy would have to put a gun to his head?

It works both ways. And you don't know life if believe that there can't be any child in the world who doesn't deserve a wake-up call of a gun aiming at his nose for a moment.

Also, it was Tyson who asked for forgiveness so it kinda tells you smth about the story.

Nah phuck teddy, they were both wrong but teddy was the adult... he could’ve and should’ve handled it in a different manner.:. Not by pulling a gun on a 15 yr old kid
