Nobody should have to face getting physically assaulted for doing their job. For doing what they were paid to be there for.
The first amendment exists for a very good reason, the response to words isnt and should never be violence, it should be more words.
Its when communication breaks down and people resort to base emotions, yes we are all human, that we resort to violence.
If this was going to be handled it should have been done backstage, and Will certainly shouldnt have been allowed to stay at the event after assaulting a colleague, let alone allowed to receive an award and praise and enjoy the afterparty. How Will hasnt been arrested is a mystery to me. "Should be consequences for their actions" - like you say.
An equal and opposite reaction to words is counter words, not punches or slaps to the face. Thats an escalation of energy.

Cracks me up the more you think about it. In what event ever can you physically assault someone then return to your seat and carry on enjoying the event.
If it was a member of the public they would of been tackled to the ground and escorted out immediately

exactly
I really felt for Chris after he took the slap, Will had his little verbal outburst. And Chris was just up there, stunned, everywhere he looked, there was no support, he was just stuck there on stage, with a sore face, trying to come to terms with wtf just actually happened in front of the world. Ironically a world that wouldnt have been watching had it not happened.

First amendment protects free speech from consequences from the government. Period. Words still have consequences. Smacking people as well.
smacking people has consequences, if Will had stepped up to slap me for doing my job, Id have responded very differently.
Like @Dj Iceman said, "every action has an EQUAL and opposite reaction"
technically, Chris had every right to shoot Will in self defense.

No man. I am a gun owner but this shit makes me sick.
So by your logic, words can be responded to with violence, but violence cant be responded to with violence?
If Chris' only way of defending himself is with a gun then Will's getting shot. Thats why the 2nd amendment is the second amendment, because it protects the first.

I said words have consequences as well as smacking people. I didn't say smacking poeple is okay. But only fuckboys would respond to one smack in the face with a gun.
Some people arent built for fighting. Often a great sense of humour comes from being bullied, and finding humour as a way to protect yourself from being beaten up all the time. Thats why in the USA they are allowed to carry guns to protect themselves from people who think its okay to physically assault them for hurting their feelings.
That same law allows women to protect themselves from rapists, and old people a chance from those that prey on the vulnerable.

I am not built for fighting but still no one should have the right to shoot somebody if it is not a life or death situation. And a smack from Will Smith at the Oscars is not life threatening.
If that slap had hit Chris wrong and dislocated or broke his jaw, would that be okay? If Chris attacked Will Smith back and they had a brawl resulting in possibly one of them being seriously hurt, all on live tv, would that be a line crossed? If one of them got punched and put in a coma, later to die, would that have been okay? At what point is the line of physical assault, physical assault? Or "life threatening"?
Heat of the moment events and mistakes that lead to horrible outcomes happen in split seconds. Chris didnt even realise he was going to get a slap until it actually happened. Chris was by far the bigger man for taking it how he did and not retaliating.
How would you respond to being bitch slapped on live tv in front of the world?

illest o.g.
The whole thing is odd. The three of them have been friends for years, so jokes like that, whether offensive or not, are okay with friends (unless one of them is super uptight). It's like guys giving their guy friends dick punches - totally acceptable. But if some random dude tries to punch my junk, fuck no. Okay maybe that's a bad analogy, but you get my point.

Jada Pinkett Smith 'I Don't Give Two Craps What People Think of This Bald Head'
Jada Pinkett Smith said she doesn’t care what people think of her bald head on an episode of ‘Red Table Talk’ just days before the Oscars.

Jada strikes me as a very narcissistic individual. I think Will was always one of the good guys, narcissists latch onto good guys and grind them down. (I say this from experience). I think this whole outburst is the result of years of public humiliation of Will by Jada. He finally snapped and did something to prove his manhood. Its such a shame that it came on the night he won an Oscar, taking the limelight off that and all the other people who won an Oscar that night(we might not care much, but they do), I dont know who won what, but everybody knows Will slapped Chris.

That's how generations of community violence plays out e.g. dudes shooting someone for staring at and/or talking to their woman, dudes shooting someone for stepping on their shoes, etc. aka dumb shit in the name of "manhood."

Exactly says it all. He’s losing his shit from that cold calculated narcissist fucking with his mind.
if Jada never had a look of extreme anger on her face making Will feel the need to defend her honour even though she has shat all over his, then maybe they all would have taken it for the joke it was, Will could have bathed in the glory of his Oscar and enjoyed it without it being overshadowed by a moment of hurt feelings overcoming sense, making a mockery of the whole night.

Fat boring mfers like me don't appear on Live TV. But I would probably make a dumb wtf just happened face.
