    @Larry that's different. He assaulted your wife. You defended her.

    Given what he did he's lucky I didn't kill him.

      One of my engineers (a woman) was out shopping with her boyfriend a few years ago and two guys made comments about her. The boyfriend confronted them and they stabbed him. He died right there in the shopping mall. They went down for murder.

      This stuff can get bad really quick.

      I was only joking

        Comedian hosts get to make jokes about Oscars attendees. Oscars attendees don’t get to assault them for it. This precedent set on a global stage by one of the most famous people in the world sucks, and the respectful reaction is stupid. Smith needs to be called a little bitch. Not respected.

        Education is extremely important.

          That's why you never confront - you knock them into next week. If he wants to talk we can do that later, in his hospital room.

                  It’s very clear to most reasonable people that it wasn’t staged. You could see the emotion running through both of them after it happened. Both in Smith’s screaming about keeping his wife’s name out if Rock’s mouth, and in Rock as he stumbled over the rest of his lines. And in Smith’s later tearful acceptance speech.

                      If they'd staged it, it would have looked more like the movies and less like a couple of knobheads in the pub.

                        It wasn’t staged, for reasons Horace mentioned above. Rock probably thought a fake slap/punch was coming in good spirits, not the real deal.

                        Also Smith laughed at first prob because it was the normal thing to do on national television, and he also probably didn’t get the alopecia connection at first until he saw Jada’s face.

                          It was rehearsed for months.

                          The violence was fine, that is what men do, no big deal.

                          But there is no excuse for the vulgar language on television.

                            (Rock declined to press charges, by the way)

                            It’s not his decision.

                                    The left has bent over backwards to give black culture room for its macho male culture to grow unabated, resulting in Chicago and Baltimore murder numbers. It would be easy to blame that culture for this, but that would be ridiculous, since Will Smith is more of a pampered privileged princess than nearly anybody else in the world.
