@NotOneNotTwo @georgehahn Or Rock could sue him for assault & battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress (he was slapped and humiliated on live television before millions of people all over the world). Sounds like a nice lawsuit to me.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@nataliehamill35 @georgehahn On top of the slap he took from her husband in front of millions of people.

Are fucking kidding?

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@PrincessofNYC23 @richsignorelli @georgehahn @Ty___Webb I think it’s safe to say Chris Rock's night was ruined, too.

Strange how little sympathy he's getting here on Twitter. There have been worse jokes said about people than that.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@NancyMartin2021 @georgehahn And what exactly would Chris Rock's motive be to go along with such an outrageous ruse? Unless he enjoys being humiliated before millions of people?

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@LSTrip44 @RexChapman @georgehahn It does. A punch thrown with a closed fist causes more physical damage. But a slap is more humiliating.

Personally, I'd rather get punched than slapped.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@GreggLeeGraves @georgehahn He could have done it privately. He didn't need to do it in the middle of the fucking ceremony with millions of people watching.
He also hit a much smaller guy. So, let's not make Will Smith some kind of hero.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@PaulaDunnBrown1 @BSam2424 @EmWankenobi @georgehahn So, you think Will Smith going up on stage during the Oscars ceremony and slapping the shit out of Chris Rock was the right way to go? Confronting, or even hitting, him later in private wouldn't have provided the needed exclamation point, I guess?

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@BSam2424 @EmWankenobi @georgehahn So, he had to walk up to the stage and slap the shit out if him with millions of people watching all over the world? That was more appropriate than confronting him backstage or somewhere?

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@ashellofmyself @DrJasonJohnson Sure he would have. And if her white husband would have went on the stage and smacked him my guess is you would be looking at it in a very different way.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@WalterJCollins1 @DrJasonJohnson @ElieNYC Who exactly would have stopped Will Smith if the comedian was white? One of the female hosts?

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@DrJasonJohnson An ugly incident soley involving two black men but judging by your tweet the focus should be on white privlege and racism. As if that is the real issue about what occurred tonight.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@flexghost1 @alllocalpolitic Yet you are weighing in on what happened at the Oscars and with a not so subtle interest in excusing what Will Smith did.🤔

But, I'm sure you are only concerned with more important things like the war in Ukraine.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@FlLMDORK @tummler10 Woody Allen doesn't belong there. Unlike Weinstein and Polanski, the allegations against Woody Allen were never proven. Moreover, a thorough investigation in the custody case between him and Farrow demonstrated her allegations him were false.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@DefenseBaron @lachic288 To put it in layman's terms.. Assault is the coming at the person. Battery is the actual hitting (with or without a weapon).

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@VinnMo @lachic288 @DefenseBaron Something tells me we are going to hear a lot of "What Will Smith did was wrong but...".

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@MariahSouthside @lachic288 @DefenseBaron @FadingTeacher Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.

I believe that's a phrase.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@johncusack It sounds like you smoked one to many joints tonight.

What fucking nonsense.

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@johncusack For someone who never holds back you are suddenly very reticent about offering an opinion. It sounds like your punking out and invoking more serious things in the world as cover.

Also, I wonder how dismissive you would have been if you had gotten smacked on stage at the Oscars?

[Salvatore Compoccia @SCompoccia]

@BillRasure @nhannahjones She's absolutely right. But I can't help but wonder if @nhannahjones tweets the same thing if Will Smith had slapped a white comedian.
