Will some comics (who perform where audiences are often intoxicated) carry a gun? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As my father told me bones and bruises heal, you hurt/ impact negatively someone's mind that can last forever. Words do this. We were taught sticks and stones can break my bones and words can really hurt/ me others. Bones and bruises heal rather quickly compared to the mind. If you slapped me it would hurt but I could laugh it off. If you told me that my biological parents dumped me because they didn't love me that would live with me forever. Take it from me, it happened to me when I was a kid,and while a don't dwell on it, I can still remember the kid that said that to me and how much it hurt. I am glad you have popped up again in this topic. I know you are a smart empathetic person. Do you think Will should have done it? over a joke. Chris claimed he didn't know about the condition, so I will take him at his word Do you think Chris might have some emotional scaring from the slap? He was attacking in front of millions.... what does that do to his psyche? Would he have been reminded that he was a small person that had to just take it from a bully? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, that’s not the point. It’s the attack by WS that is of concern. WS attacked someone and nothing was done as a consequence. That’s a bad message sent to an already screwed up US citizenry.

Your mental abuse experiences that are much more serious, I'm sorry to hear, isn't near close in comparison to this instance of two celebrities...one jabbing...the other EXPLODING. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live in a free society where yes people get to make jokes. Get over it, no one needs you turning them into victims. Maybe you should knock off the rationalization of the very public humiliation of a human being who has a medical condition beyond her control.

No one thinks will Smith should have done it, but the "don't be so sensitive, it's just a joke" rationalization is the core foundation of every single bully out there. It's victim blaming, pure and simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In every circumstance that assault happens, the attacker is arrested, and then (after an investigation) the victim is asked if he wants to press charges?

hammertime Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Wow this is some thread. Is Chris gonna have PTSD from getting slapped. Really now we're making Chris the victim. If it was my wife I'da slapped him too soo. For those of you are words not weapons too. The slap so sassy it made paparazzi a million or two. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
