2. Geeeeeeeez
Can you say REHAB?
If there is truth in this statement............................He is deeply in need of a long stay at a rehab facility! At least he did cooperate with the officer who witnessed and acted on his erratic behavior while driving his vehicle.
Thank God no one else was involved and could have been hurt!

6. #1, don't hate! hate! hate! Mike needs prayers from anybody that can offer it to him, and that's what you should be doin' instead of hatin'. We're all in this world of mess right now. This time of the year, is a time of reflection. Let's change our attitude towards other human being as one of our new years resolutions. Mike have never been the best of men, but he's not the worst out there. He did get his fair shake from blood suckers out there, and now he's on his own and nobody cares. I feel for him. I will pray for him, and so should everyone who once loved his boxing skills.

7. Ok he's an addict with drugs...whats his excuse for raping and beating females? He addicted to that too?

Genuine thug----counseling wont help, only incarceration for a lengthy time so the rest of society, in clubs, on the street and driving dont have to worry about being harmed by this animal

8. What happened to his money??? Mike Tyson used to have hundreds of millions of dollars!!!

I hear now he's working as a stud in a brothel in Nevada. He has gone from being at the top of his game and making tons of money to being a very sad, pathetic human being.

I feel sorry for him.

9. I try to like this guy but his story speaks for itself -- rape -- bitting an ear off -- drugs -- it goes on . Hes' been living this lie for a while . I thought he was the big d*ck at a Hoe house in Nevada . Sh*t , give me P8ssy and drinks with money added and i'd never leave the compound . He needs Scientology or worse --Dr Phil . Dickhead .

10. I do believe that Mike is dealing with personal struggles of abuse and neglect. It certainly shows that it extends back from childhood to growing up. Drugs are just a cover up and a second demon to be influenced and enslaved by. Find the prime source of a persons pain. You will find the powerful influence that drives a person to self destruction.
For Mike to Be arrested and jailed is part of the solution. But having a encounter with God almighty. Will certainly take care of the source driving Mikes "addictions". And also the addictions themselves.

11. First of all #1 if he capable of killing, killing OJ wouldn't be that bad of a thing. Secondly, this will end bad you can see it coming and this is past the train being off the trains, it more like waiting for the mushroom cloud after the explosion.
