I don’t know why I am so shocked about the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Science’s acceptance of such childish violent behavior. But after Will Smith commits what appeared to be a Class B Misdemeanor (that in Utah is punishable up to six months in jail) and is allowed to stay in the building I just couldn’t believe it.
This is a symptom of a sickened culture which has become accustomed to childish rants, bullying behavior, outright lies accepted as truth, racism, sexism and many other disgusting acts performed daily by Donald Trump.
It sickens me that we are not all disgusted by the acceptance of such behavior. Would you allow someone to go up and attack someone at your church, school, work, social event and allow them to stay there? Let me answer that for everyone. No! However, many applaud it when people with power or money do it.
