Boxing legend Mike Tyson has had a lot of altercations during his lifetime. While some of these could be attributed to Tyson not being able to handle the pressure that comes with a man of his fame, in other instances people seemed to have deserved what came to them.
Moreover, renowned Hollywood actor and lifelong martial artist Michael Jai White believes that sometimes people should be held accountable for their actions. In addition, he wants to take things further and legalize beating other people.

It seems like White is on board to legalize ‘a** kicking’, which realistically might not happen, at least in his lifetime. However, he does make some good points as to why people’s privacy needs to be respected at all times.
Why did Tyson assault a passenger?
Back in April, Tyson was taking off in a Jet Blue airline heading towards Miami. However, footage released by TMZ revealed that Tyson was physically throwing punches at the passenger who was harassing Tyson on the plane. It was later reported that the man was Melvin Townsend III, a Florida native.
According to Tyson’s representatives, Townsend was acting very aggressively towards the former champion. Moreover, it was even revealed that a bottle was thrown at Iron Mike which might have started the altercation. No charges were pressed on Tyson following this event but his reputation did take a hit.
