    Interesting divide on the right between anti-feminist "Will Smith was being a manly patriarch" take and "Will Smith should be locked up" tough on crime take.https://twitter.com/JesseBrown/status/1508553004512911364 …

        I guess my feeling is that it’s not great, but if you’re gonna do it then don’t go In with such a wimpy slap

        that's the whole point, it's about embarrassing Rock without actually harming him, Smith told him to get his wife's name out of his mouth and Rock said "damn ok" and that was the end of the conflict

        Not really a lock 'em up guy Jeet but if you hit someone, that's a crime I guess? And should be so even if you're famous?

        Lots of police and prosecutorial discretion for this sort of stuff.

        it’s really impolite for him to do something like this that can’t be easily broken down into a left/right dichotomy
