@KeyJackOfTrades@RawsiWilliams If Will Smith had assaulted a female comedian, is there any doubt that he would have already been blacklist like in Hollywood. Why do some want to give him a pass for assaulting a male? This wasn't self defense. Didn't he learn sticks & stones.
@KeyJackOfTrades@RawsiWilliams Using disrespect as a justification is BS. Will is an adult professional entertainer who was at his workplace. No way he's made it that far without ever feeling disrespected. This was 100% unprofessional. He should be banned from the Oscars at a minimum...
@NizSixFour There are a ton of legal options Will could have done to expressed his dissatisfaction. There is NO excuse for assaulting Chris. He should be prosecuted. If I had done it, I would be in jail right now no matter what rationale I gave.
@MrTrendyHead @bsansouci@nhannahjones That type of behavior shouldn't be normalized with a "let's move on" attitude unless you don't mind people bringing their weapons for defense to future Oscars for the next person that gets offended.
@MrTrendyHead @KeyJackOfTrades@RawsiWilliams Do YOU really know why Chris didn't press charges? Your line of thinking can lead to a lot of jail time. Good luck with that.
@MrTrendyHead @KeyJackOfTrades@RawsiWilliams When you say "stand up", is that code for assault. There are laws against that. If so, the law should also "stand up" code for arrest Will Smith.
@RawsiWilliams Chris Rock is definitely the bigger man in this situation. A true professional. This could have gotten whole lot uglier. My respect for Will Smith is at rock bottom. Classless behavior.
@chrislhayes How is it possible to assault someone at their workplace and then get to go about your business like no big deal? Talk about celebrity privilege...
@Bakari_Sellers You are aware that Will committed an assault on Live television. Some people in particular the law may look at that as a criminal act. You support THAT?
Assaulting someone let alone while they are at their job in a professional setting is unacceptable. The Oscars did a poor job of protecting it's people. At a minimum, Will Smith should have been immediately escorted off the premises.
