Mike Tyson Behaving Badly

Celebrity and former heavy weight boxing champ Mike Tyson caught punching out another passenger on video.

What will airline, FAA, FBI and police do? Does Celebrity get a pass for public assault and battery on planes?

New Acting FAA Administrator must decide if “no tolerance for unruly passengers” policy applies to celebrities. FBI has jurisdiction for crimes committed in the air, with local police on the ground. Victim of assault who demands money in exchange for not reporting crime can be charged with “compounding a crime” or obstruction of justice, also crimes in most jurisdictions.
