Celebrity Justice
Tyson in Jail -- And in Pink!

Mike Tyson checked himself into Arizona's infamous Tent City Jail to serve his one-day sentence on drug charges.
Mike Tyson
The jail is an open-fair facility located near a dog pound and junkyard where inmates wear jail-issue pink underwear and striped jumpsuits. Pink should really bring out the color in his crazy eyes!


The former boxing champ plead guilty in September to one count of felony cocaine possession and one misdemeanor count of driving under the influence. He'll be on probation for three years.

17. too bad for him. i've met him a few times, actually, and he really is a nice and gentle man - at least to me he was....it's a shame every time i see him making these stupid mistakes over and over again...he's capable of being a good person.

18. who is no matter what? because if you know so much then you should know that black people are not the majority when it comes to using peoples tax dollars (welfare) its the white people, and also if you want to talk about stop killing each other its the white people that are shooting up the schools not us. So before you call anybody ignorant (because thats what the n word means you need to first look and what you wrote because that is what i call ignorant

20. Denial is another problem with our race. Black people make up the majority of the prison population. Where do you get your statisics on welfare?

On welfare 2007:

White 7%
Black 25%
Hispanic 20%
Foreign Born 9%
US Born 11%

24. @No Matter What


With people like you it’s hard to get away from being stereotyped and called a "N"! The majority of black people do speak English, don't have gold teeth, don't kill, and aren't on welfare. And apparently since blacks only make up about 13% of the population and have for a very long time, obviously we're not having babies as much as you think! Stop littering...that's the dumbest thing I ever heard in my life, please show me a report that says that blacks LITTER more than any other race. Just pure ignorance. And if I'm correct didn't Lindsey Lohan get arrested for the same damn thing....oh yeah that’s right I guess she's just a dumb "N" too! Please stop stereotyping every black person just because of the ones that you may have seen, if that's all that you know about black people then maybe it’s the people you hang around, cause birds of a feather flock together. Upgrade your life and maybe you will see that there are a majority of great, law abiding, non violent, no children having blacks who aren't on welfare.

Oh and just so you know....
Myth: People on welfare are usually black, teenage mothers who stay on ten years at a time.

Fact: Most welfare recipients are non-black, adult and on welfare less than two years at a time.



Summary

According to the statistics, whites form the largest racial group on welfare; half of all welfare recipients leave in the first two years; and teenagers form less than 8 percent of all welfare mothers.


Argument

Here are the statistics on welfare recipients:

White 38.8%

Please gain some knowledge before you go spewing facts about things to which you know NOTHING ABOUT!

25. If he's only booked for 24 hours, he will not be sporting pink undies and a jumpsuit. The DUI tents are separate from the rest of the facility and he would have to get caught breaking the rules to get "rolled up" into stripes.

28. Camping with Sheriff Joe, as we in AZ like to say! Must be nice to do a one day camping trip when non-celebs do about a year for the same stuff. Enjoy your green baloney, it's just too bad you won't get to try out the chain gang.

29. Well Sierra,

The only bandwagon you need to hop on is the one leading to the bathroom to dump your corny crap. You studied race I can hardly believe. It must have been at the David Duke Mail order University. I don't know the Black neighborhood where you once dwelled, but I certain that you can find rowdy people anywhere, as well as falsely opinionated ones like yourself.

30. I think alot of ''people'' are blind, I was watching the news and theres this cop in chicago who's under suspicion in the disappearance of his 4th wife, this isn't a security guard, this is a cop, a POLICE. This man was sworn in as a servant for the community, why isn't this a big argument,this is a COP that went to court and testified against hundreds of people. all yall people must have missed this one, all those black men who the media tries to make look like mass murderers, didn't harm one person, Vick , Bonds, Tyson , even OJ are being lynched in the media, and most of the people who are being brainwashed are posting comments on this site, Oh yeah, he's a white man , Go figure, this cop is worst than all the black people yall try to make out to be villans. so come up with all the racist crap you want, when white cops stop being killers, then i'll relax.
