You project your own issues, distorting reality. You way of thinking is exactly what got Trump elected, because he was saying and doing the things some people wanted to do but were too scared for the consequences. Bullying is when there is a disproportion in power. Either physical, either with peers. Smith checked both. Chris is out if his league and by using us and the audience he tried to humiliate him, knowing the cameras would stop Rock from reacting. He felt comfortable slapping someone over words, showing he is beyond the high road and never left the bottom. He refused to leave when asked, like a common thug. He disrespected everybody that day, including the wife he used as an excuse. She was not threatened or in danger. She had a choice to wear a wig or not and she chose to own it and good for her. So what is all this crap about protection? Protection from what? A reference to a movie that had a woman with a shaved head? Lets get real. Smith was the bully and has nothing to do with the good guy we projected him to be, nor was he the injured party. This was a sad display of a classless, violent and ego tripping man. His gaslighting speech sealed the deal. Stop projecting and condoning such disturbing, dangerous behavior. And just look at the lost, scared, sad look on Rocks eyes. If you dont see a victim staring you right in the face, you are too much in your own head
