So much criticism of Will Smith for slapping down Chris Rock it may seem we have become just that.
Social media, particularly from journalists, went ballistic against Smith for his actions. That is pacifism.
If every woman in America let it be known that any man who touched them would be put down, the sexual assaults would end, simply because these assailants are cowards.

I've seen it over and over again in my personal life and that of others.
Chris Rock has a track record of vulgarity and personal attacks to generate what he considers humor.
At the Oscars he was called on it.
The big news item post event was that Rock will not press charges.
If that is the mentality of our liberalism, no thank you.
