Would you?



News have come out that Chris didn't want any trouble and said to the police not to press charges, nor did he want Will removed from the event. He didn't want any trouble at all.

What would you have done if you were Chris?

No I would not

I would never consider it unless serious harm came out of it, in general

No, that'd just make him out to be the bad person in most people's eyes. It's Will Smith after all.

Nah, if youre a man and you get slapped by another man, pressing charges makes you look like a wuss.

Chris is not pressing charges and letting the court of public opinion do the work for him, so really hes winning.

A lot of people are pansies. Like, a considerable heap of people

Or looking for a payout, but I think that's less people

There's not a lot of outcomes in which pressing charges would've been a good look for Chris, regardless of whether or not it was the right thing to do.

Hell no. But I would have slapped him back or pushed his ass off stage. We are both being thrown out, even if he beats my ass.

no.
the slap was wrong, but i shouldn't throw a tasteless joke either. it wasn't even a funny joke.

heck, if it wasn't Will Smith who did the slap, and the slap was because the joke is lame, i might even cheering the slapper.

Japanese comedy has this Manzai style, where the straight man often comically hit the funny man when the joke was told.

Not really. If anything will made himself look like a bitch twice. One for the incident even happening and one for the "slap".

Yes. Chris Rock is a stand up comedian. Whos going to be the next person to think they can just walk up and slap him over a joke? Youve got to send a message that if someone lays a hand on you then youre going to have them locked up and sue them for everything they have. If you dont take a zero tolerance approach to physical assault then it will happen again.

If I was Chris Rock, I would have done this and then filed a report.

This plus it looks like he is the bigger man when he takes the hit and lets the public decide what the response should be. What will Smith did was wrong for a lot more reasons than "because it was illegal" and that discussion is happening right now without Will Smith being dragged to jail for assault.

I wouldn't blame a man for hitting me once if his wife didn't like what I said about her, even if he personally thought it was funny at first. I would fight back if he goes for multiple hits though. Pressing charges for a slap or a single punch is for little bitches when my own words brought "talk shit, get hit" upon myself.

Probably not, pressing charges for a smack is kind of bitch. Its also just gonna drag this whole thing out even more.

If I were Chris Rock I would have stopped the show and said they need to escort his ass out before I continue the show.

Honestly Im not sure I wouldnt have attacked him and made this 10x uglier

Pressing legal charges over one slap seems a bit much, as not sure anything really would have come out of it anyway other than Chris being mocked. And given how much Will is taking a hit, best to just let the public destroy his reputation instead.

If it happened in the workplace, damn right I'd complain to HR and want them fired though.
