I do not know Mr. Rock and I did not hear what insults he used to poke fun on Mrs. Smith. But certainly smashing a face is going too far. It was done in cold blood and not as a spontaneous action in sudden rage which could excuse part of the brutality. So unless I know what the insult was to rejudge this I find such a public action of beating up sb on stage disgusting and a criminal offence.
