Looking at this tyson thing from a different perspective, if I was wrongly accused by someone for killing someone I didn't kill and was convicted and did some jail time. I'd probably want to kill the sob.

Well life is tough. Mike wasn't the smartest person and he was taken advantage of. He
should have far more wealth and brains left but he don't. Various people exploited Mike
for their own personal gain and he was just screwed. Plain and simple.

Mike is not acting. He is very sick individual now but I can understand
why. Especially if he never raped that woman, which I kind of believe,
then that explains alot right there. If you went to prison for 3 yrs for
something you didn't do. How would you come out? VERY CRAZY and
PISSED.


I didn't say he's acting now. I belive it's completely genuine. I do however, belive that it started out as him just goading people for a response. Just fvcking with people basicly. As dumb as mike sounds sometimes in a lot of ways he's a really smart guy and seems to be the type of person who would do something like that. Besides, why not? Everyone's thought he was crazy for quite some time anyway.

I'm not saying he is DUMB DUMB but he isn't smart either. He admitted
it in a SI interview about a year or so back. It talked about his struggles
and how people took advatage of him.

I'm betting this Desiree Washingston also probably took
advantage of Mike and made the rap allegations up. Think
about it. It's and EASY ticket to EASY life for her. Poor Mike.

I really hate to say this... because i really do believe when a woman says no, they mean no. But she was invited up to his room at like 2am in the morning? What did she think was going to happen? Not that i think he raped her... i think she did have consenual sex, but she was trying to make a quick buck from him... in the end she couldn't, but she didn't want to be known as a liar (or be charged for filing a false crime report), so continued with the charges.

From what I heard he was messed with a lot. I even heard he became someone's bitch.

And where'd you 'hear' this?

He had enough money going in that nobody would bother... they would all try to buddy up to him.

He said it himself in an interview. I believe it was an interview with Maxim. He said that prison sucked and he hated it... forgot what else he said though.

Maxim interview

P.S. Rapist should just get the death penalty.
 
Good article! I personally don't believe he raped her... he's admitted to a lot of things, and he's never admitted that. It was always sketchy to me anyways.

Well, i'm certainly going to watch his next fight. I've always been a huge Tyson fan.

So there's a lot of gay guys just banging each other?

It happens... but it doesn't happen in the public. The prison put condom machines in the showers, but they were torn down the first day... although condoms are used more in prison to hide drugs and money (wrap it up in the condom, then 'hoop' it up your ass to hide it), it was symbolic to just tear them down. But yeah, there are gays in prison. There are drag queens too, i'm sure they make some money from the homosexuals.

As for what a record has done for me in life... well, in Canada employers are NOT allowed to ask if you have a criminal record unless the job requires you to be bonded. So no, it hasn't affected me. I have had employers ask, but i answered no. They shouldn't even be asking, and i know for a fact that i could get them in trouble by reporting they asked the question... but then i obviously wouldn't have gotten the job.

ah, here in the US they ask all they want. better to keep former criminals jobless so they'll end up back in jail 😛 pretty stoopid.
 
Yeah, there are some things i'm barred from. I was really looking into studying to be an EMT, but that requires a criminal background check. But in a few months, i can apply for a pardon, which will get it buried (it'll take almost 2 years for the process though).
 
Good luck with the pardon > Moralpanic.
Gr8 2 here how u turned things around.
Your tales from inside are real interesting, couldnt stop reading about it.

Maybe you could write a book about it.
I used to watch Oz, .. every episode. Some of the more hardcore (violence wise) episodes were quite hard to watch, to brutal even 4 me. And i'm sure they do paint an accurate portrait of life in prison.

Also,

I believe Mike was innocent of Rape.
 
Well, if I believed he didn't do the crime in the first place but did time for it, I could understand his comments, but since I don't believe him, I think he's just an ass who doesn't know he's all washed up and has been since he went to the can. He just continues to spew idiocy and is totally oblivious to what he is doing to his career and reputation. Where are his managers? They need to get a shorter leash for him, or maybe put one of those invisible fences around his property, so when he tries to escape, he gets shocked. What an animal.

I second that! The whole rape story was strange..2clock alone with tyson in his hotell room after they have been partying.... anyway afaik he could have gotten a much better defence. Thats what some heavy lawyors said after worth.

Thanks for your support! Getting pardons are actually quite easy in Canada... if you never recommit a crime, it's almost guaranteed from what i've heard. Just takes awhile.

As for writing a book... i've entertained the thoughts, only because the books i've read often try to embelish prison life. Most ex-cons seem to want the public to believe prison is worse off than it really is... i'm not entirely sure why... maybe it upholds their badass image even more, or they just like messing with people's head.

Tyson can't date rape?

But I seriously doubt if he did...just her way of trying to get paid
