81. And in the world you can't assault a guy

Mon Mar 28, 2022, 02:45 AM

Mar 2022

without a real chance he shots you.Just saying. No justification for physical assault. If that would've been Dwayne Johnson up there making that joke. Will Smith is if not a tough guy or hero for what he did. He was wrong period. You think Will Smith would've had the same response? I doubt it. Also in the real world if you assault somebody in the line of your occupation you'd probably never work there again unless your an MMA fighter or a boxer or something.
