Mike Tyson the hero

[TiredOfRain]

According to Portsmouth Guildhall who say 'Throughout his career, Tyson became well known for his ferocious and intimidating boxing style as well as his controversial behavior both inside and outside the ring'. 'Controversial behaviour' including rape. If you feel strongly that he shouldn't be held up in this way, there's a petition you can sign.

What the fuck?!

Signed!

Thanks for this, I had just come on here to post the same link.

I've signed and shared with my friends

I want to sign it but don't want to put in my full address. Any way round that?

Signed

Signed.

Not sure Chickens - perhaps contact the group who set it up?

Signed!
I think the rumours from boxing circles stating he was 'set up' probably hadn't made enough money out of him and know if there's enough doubt generated then the gravy train can keep going.
Women suffer enough with 'she led him on' attitude and some people would like to believe it.

SIGNED

Signed and bumped.

Can anyone please explain to me how he is even allowed to enter the UK?

Surely he can be refused entry to the UK given the serious nature of his conviction?

If anyone lives in Portsmouth they could set up a local petition asking the council not to grant an entertainment license...

Set up my arse. Every single convicted rapist says that

I believe her

I broke my own golden rule of never posting on a thread on here about rape. I withdraw my previous post. Please ignore.

Hello all
While we feel very strongly about the importance of lots of petitions especially those like those which link (indirectly) to our we believe you campaign, we will be deleting this thread shortly as we don't really allow links to e-petitions
Thanks

OliviaL can you not just delete/edit the link then?

this is a really important thread i think

I can't believe the adoration some people still have for that animal.
He had a cameo in that awful dodgy movie the hangover didn't he - some kind of Casanova, how hideous.

Yes. VG point. Sorry .
Feeling a bit end of term here.

FYI have removed the link to the petition. Thanks all.

Has he been granted a visa? I would have hoped, as a country, we would not let a convicted rapist in to visit or work. Wasn't another American "star" recently turned away at the border because of criminal history?
