Wild Wild Smith!

I don’t think there is anything further to understand than the facts as demonstrated live on global television in order to make a definitive judgment that what Chris Rock did was wrong in terms of it being misogynistic, snide and in poor taste, and also to make a definitive judgment that what Will Smith did was wrong in terms of it being brutish, cowardly, illegal and com ...[text shortened]... to personally know either of the men involved to come to those judgments. Both were without excuse.

What chances would Chris Rock have against Will Smith physically?

What does this have to do with the morality of Smith physically assaulting Rock?

Will Smith was within his rights to defend his wife, who has a scalp condition. Chris Rock attacked her for having a medical condition. But you're all about that, aren't you? You have done the same thing here yourself.

I'm on Will's side. But you can sit back in your leather chair implying he has a drug problem.

What is wrong with you?


BTW, I would have hit hi ...[text shortened]... eep my wife's name out of your f---ing mouth!" He said it twice. His motivation was crystal clear.

Chris Rock's bad joke was, I believe, in his script and was meant to be what it was. Will Smith's reaction was impulsive. Still they were both unprofessional.

Defending your wife is always a good thing!

So, if it was in his script, and it was known that he had made the same 'joke' before, then what was the organiser's motivation for inviting Rock on a night where Smith was expected to win? Definitely set it up to get headlines in my opinion. I don't think Smith was party to it though. There was nothing in it for him.

He slapped him in the FACE!!

What would have been really entertaining is if Chris Rock had used some mixed martial arts and crashed Will Smith through several tables.

I have a caseload of kids who look up to Smith. Now I have to explain to them why Smith’s choice to use violence to resolve his feelings is essentially not effective. It’s hard work. Smith just made it even more difficult.

Now we know why they white wash the Oscars.



































































































































































That was a joke, and it is a detriment to society today that I have to say so.

He would first have to learn mixed martial arts. He is only 5'7" or 5'8". Will Smith is over 6 foot around 6'2" I believe. Not a very fair contest! Chris Rock really has to watch what comes out of his mouth.
