Not holding people accountable for assault is not "taking the high road." The high road would be demonstrating to millions of kids who watched it on TV that they'd be held accountable for physical assault on a person, no matter the reason & no matter how rich & powerful they are.

No other cheek huh

you're right ... except for "millions of kids;" effectively no one watches the Oscars, especially kids. And, this was a stunt to boost ratings.

IF Rock had pressed charges, sure. But he didn't. Let's not make some grand moral lesson out of a boorish celebrity tiff.

Lol. There weren’t millions of kids watching.

The high road in this case is forgiveness, unconditional love, finding and healing your own hate and judgement.
