Marine and the Hippie 220403 S02E08- The Whole Kit N Caboodle
Manage episode 337491743 series 3381954
In this dialogue, we discuss the assault by actor Will Smith upon comedian and presenter Chris Rock at the 2022 Academy Awards. In an incident that was broadcast across the entire world, Rock told a joke that Smith initially found to be funny, and then on second thought, took offense to. This umbrage led Smith to climb up onto the stage, walk across the stage and physically strike Rock across the face, and then yell at him several times, before tearfully accepting his award for Best Actor. We discuss the two different sets of justice which exist in this country, one which allows a wealthy and popular actor to physically assault another man in front of television cameras, with impunity, and the other which would prosecute everyone else to the ends of the law and beyond. We also discuss the obvious hypocrisy of the Academy who claimed they "do not condone violence", but push out hundreds of movies annually, and award many of them, which feature gratuitous and often vulgar displays of violence consistently.
