What do Butterbean, Mike Tyson and a Hanging Noose Have in Common?



There is never anything funny about the hateful imagery of a noose. However, I have to admit that I smiled a little when I heard that Mitch Green reported that a noose was hanging in front of his New York home earlier this week.

Do y'all remember Mitch Green?

He is best known for (a) beating a huge boxer named Butterbean and (b) getting beat down by Mike Tyson out in the streets one night (ala Rocky V).


Villagers, I have to admit that there is a small piece of me that thought Green might have planted the noose just to get his name in the paper. What say u? Legit or publicity stunt?
