Now, personally, I think the occasional slap, shove, or even punch should be more acceptable in our society—especially when the guy totally has it coming. Yet despite my preferences, the law currently is what it is, and therefore it must be applied evenly. For example, if an unruly janitor had gone on stage and slapped Chris Rock, then that man would have been arrested and sent to jail. Will Smith, meanwhile, won an Oscar, got a standing ovation, and then got jiggy with it at a ritzy afterparty. Does that seem fair? Heck, it doesn’t even have to be a janitor. Could you imagine if Mel Gibson had slapped somebody? They probably would’ve shot him.

A thousand times this.
