  • Chris Rock is awesome, they hired him to be hilarious and he was. In no world is Will’s 2nd reaction to the funny but lightly tasteless joke (man if they had waited to respond after the Oscar’s, they would have eviscerated Chris Rock instead) appropriate. Again it was another performance, and you fell for it cause somehow you are putting both their actions on the same playing field. They aren’t, no majority of people think that way either. Again that’s why Will is going through this, he is the villain.

    Also you need to stop watching TV and movies, police and the DA have the ultimate authority to press charges in the US and they do it all the time. The law isn’t not-broken cause one party didn’t press charges. That’s honestly kinda adorable. The reason he didn’t get arrested is cause he’s more rich and famous than the guy he hit, and arresting him would have been more embarrassing for the event in the moment than doing nothing. As Chris Rock once said “If OJ drove a bus, he’d be Orenthal the bus driving murderer.” A normal person would have received legal consequences.

    You are telling on yourself, majority of weirdos have odd opinions on violence!


  • Will laughed at the joke just as hard as everyone else, looked back at Jada glaring at him and decided to do a bit of performative violence.

    He did that as an apology for laughing, he did that because he thought that’s what Jada wanted in that moment. If some asshole does that in a bar, they get the cops called on them. The whole action was not only cringe, it was as much of an act as his entire bullshit speech when they actually let him accept an award later.

    The Oscar’s should have stopped the show and had the police escort him out. Instead they awarded him later. Chris Rock made him look like such a bitch in his tour a few years later, it was beautiful. That man acted appropriately, and got his back later.

    I can’t imagine looking at this action in the whole and seeing any justification. Which is why he’s finding a come back so hard.

    Ya’ll tell on yourselves too much when you say things like “most.”

    Ukraine and Russia have been using cluster munitions on each other for years. US even gave Ukraine our obsolete stock of cluster munitions to specifically use on Russia. This definitely doesn’t surprise me, and I’m gonna guess they continue to be weapons of war, just like unmanned drones, despite any collateral dangers. Collateral damage at rates of 1 civilian to 1 combatant are now normalized.
