chirorob Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Texarkana Jiu Jitsu 59 mins · Chris Rock may have made a bad joke but his biggest error was in not reading the body language of an enraged Will Smith. During the slap, Smith has good left hand position. He’s ready to defend a punch or follow up with the left. Smith does have too tall a position that would make his defense much more difficult for a takedown. This would allow Rock to either preemptively or as the assault begins to shoot under for an easy takedown following up with some ground and pound or a submission. Rock could’ve also easily clinched as well followed by the same sequence. He could have also fled to go hide behind a security guard. It all starts with awareness. Overall a really poor performance by Rock. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 If Will Smith thought what Chris Rock said was bad, just wait until this evening when Kimel, Falon, and Colbert get a hold of this. I can see a cold open on SNL of Smith at an after party swinging his Oscar at everyone's head saying he was put on this earth to protect this person, and that person, or anyone who has a bad thing said about them in the last decade. Should be good for an entire segment on weekend update as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is he leaning in and bracing for contact? Is that ever a natural reaction to someone rushing you on stage and making a slapping motion? I have a hard time with that. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO at the tin foil hate conspiracy theorists. Chris Rock didn't run away because he probably thought Will Smith was clowning around and the thought of actually getting hit on the stage of the Oscars was beyond anything he would think could happen. 15 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Will walks towards him, Rock calls him “Richard” the hot head he plays in the movie. 2. Rock braces for impact. No security. No commercial break before or after. 3. The slap makes a thud, ax if he contacted fabric - not flesh. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have witnessed many people being angry at the fun made about them or a wife, gf and such. I also saw some of them leaving. The second someone strikes another, it is assault. According to the California Penal Code 240 and 242, a victim does NOT have to testy to an assault if witnessed by others in order to be charged with the assault. What Will Smith did is absolutely an assault regardless of how "offended" he was. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I’m joking… but, everything I said is actually true. I don’t think it was staged though. It’s just really easy to take convenient facts and recontextualize them to arrive at a different theory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 the conspiracy theory folks are missing several key facts 1) Hollywood/LA abhors all kinds of PvP physical violence, staged or otherwise. It also hates jokes like "GI Jane 2" making fun of a person's medical condition. If it was staged, it was the wrong room for that series of jokes 2) Will Smith spent his entire rapping career not using the F bomb, his entire acting career not using curse words and then he drops 2 fbombs on live TV for a stunt? Does no one realize how hard it was to be a rapper who didn't curse? Verdict: NOT FAKE - this looked fake because Smith learned how to throw that punch/slap from a stunt man but Rock wasn't expecting it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Got to love Twitter. Microbiologist who hung up their lab coats to become expert war tacticians are now phD level psychologist. The meta verse is diagnosing Will Smith now. TBD on the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
