It’s only hair but still a medical condition. Would you do it if you had a Down syndrome child and someone took the piss?

Not saying I'm on board with what Rock said, but you can't just belt someone for being offended. Imagine how that will work in 2022!

Lucky he only got slapped, it was toned down. He wasn’t just offended, his was sticking up for his wife.


It happened in the US, it’s a wonder a gun wasn’t pulled

He wasn't, he was explaining why he reacted the way he did. Thought it was good.. who knows what he's going through behind closed doors.

So he's lucky it was just a slap.
Calling him a comedian is a stretch in my opinion.

Comedy is subjective, more than anything else, perhaps. Dave Hughes has made a career out of whatever it is he does. So too Shaun Micallef.

Fine line we all walk now, hey?

Who was the dickhead who agreed for him to use that joke?
Surely someone signs off on it first.

I think it was a load of bullshit, staged for sure.

Why would he just slap him? If he hit him that hard there would of been some marking, minor blood at least from teeth hitting the lip or inner mouth, he wouldn't of remained basically motionless with such force.

It's gone too far to be staged, and if it is, they both can be nominated for lead actor in a drama for next years Emmys

A good comedian can entertain and amuse a crowd without it coming at the expense of someone else's dignity or well being.
