Comedian Chris Rock Attacks Camera After Being Asked About Alleged Tea Party Racism
Count comedian Chris Rock as yet another liberal who can't bear to take not just criticism but even an innocent question about his beliefs.
Under light questioning from conservative author Jason Mattera, Rock turned what was a regular friendly interaction with a fellow Brooklynite into a physical assault on a female camera operator when Mattera tried to get him to briefly explain remarks that he had made that the Tea Party movement was "insanely racist." Video below the break.
It seems pretty evident from the clip that Rock wasn't interested in talking even from the beginning but to get violent after such a tame question is the height of thin-skinned behavior, even if he was tired from all the festivities at the Sundance Film Festival, the location of the clip.
The video above, for those who can't play it, includes the following quote from Rock which Mattera was asking about:
You got kids? Kids always act up the most before they go to sleep. And when I see the Tea Party and all this stuff, it actually feels like racism’s almost over. Because this is the last — this is the act up before the sleep. They’re going crazy. They’re insane. You want to get rid of them — and the next thing you know, they’re fucking knocked out. And that’s what’s going on in the country right now.
Here's the transcript of the exchange:
MATTERA: Hey Chris, big fan. I grew up in Brooklyn
ROCK: Hey, how's it going?
MATTERA: Hey man, can I get a picture with you? Right here.
ROCK: Ok. (Turns to leave)
MATTERA: Hey excuse me, when you said the Tea Party was insane and racist--
ROCK (Turning to leave again): Hey, hey, hey.
MATTERA: --you said that the Tea Party
(Sound cuts off as Rock assaults camera)
The Hollywood Reporter has some additional tidbits about the encounter provided to them by Mattera:
Mattera’s two-minute video of Rock was first posted at Breitbart.com, and it features a promotion for his book, Hollywood Hypocrites: The Devastating Truth About Obama’s Biggest Backers, along with the scuffle. The fireworks don’t last too long because the camera is quickly disabled, allegedly because Rock “chucks it 50 feet,” according to Mattera.
The Rock video, below, begins with text of a quote from the comedian likening the Tea Party to “racism” and calling its participants “insane.” Mattera is seen as a fan in cordial conversation with Rock until Mattera asks about the Tea Party, at which point Rock walks away but then turns around and appears to grab the video camera.
“He attacked my camerawoman,” Mattera said. “Oh, yeah, it was a funny sight to see. He was lunging at me but his bodyguards were blocking him. He was acting all big and bad with his bodyguards between us.”

Translated = he pivoted and went directly at the woman and the camera With. Extreme. Force.
Then, the camera view spins and does several 180's. Again, translated = he really went after this woman and this camera.

His prosecutorial history is entirely with collecting evidence that frees cop killers and hiding it under his bed. He has no history of cases involving assault, battery, assault and battery, or assault with a deadly weapon. Just cop killers shooting down cops in cold blood. And sending them letters with lots of kisses and hugs, of course.

for Chris Rock to rough this girl up. Now, if you don't think that is woman beating well you can can continue with the denial. It is woman beating because there was a woman involved and she was beaten to some extent. Just because she isn't thrown a window or anything to that degree doesn't mean she wasn't beaten. I'm not sure how you could spin it another way or why you would defend violence against a woman, even with semantics. Bad behavior is bad behavior, and you seem okay with that by your own admission.

because the libs have something against beating women except when it involves a conservative woman or something to that effect. So how about we use the words "rough stuff?" Chris Rock is okay with using the "rough stuff" on the camerawoman because he didn't want to answer the question about his hypocrisy. Even in his own words Chris Rock vehemently jokes about shaking the you know what out of woman, like that's any better. But in the mind of liberal comedians they are somehow sheltered from criticism with another excuse for bad behavior, being a comedian. Geez, what nonsense.

Submitted by The Vet on Thu, 03/15/2012 - 12:07am.
But you? Assault is assault.
An assault is carried out by a threat of bodily harm coupled with an apparent, present ability to cause the harm. It is both a crime and a tort and, therefore, may result in either criminal or civil liability.
Generally, the essential elements of assault consist of an act intended to cause an apprehension of harmful or offensive contact that causes apprehension of such contact in the victim.
The act required for an assault must be overt. Although words alone are insufficient, they might create an assault when coupled with some action that indicates the ability to carry out the threat. A mere threat to harm is not an assault; however, a threat combined with a raised fist might be sufficient if it causes a reasonable apprehension of harm in the victim.
We are not talking about a tiny handheld camera. But one of the bulkier camera's used by journalist/media/television people. Shoulder rested. Next to the head. Fingers inserted into an area with buttons. Yanking this away when the eye is up to the eyeguard, fingers are intertwined and the camera is next to the ear CAN cause harm.
So it is not just about grabbing a paper bound stack of money out of someone's hands. Just because the idiot balboa focuses on the comment of one poster that overstated the altercation does not mean we simply get to excuse this behavoir.

The crypto-dummy then focused on the comment of another user to excuse his idiocy AND Rock's behavior.
Further more, down the thread, dmacleo properly turned it back into being about assault not wife-beating. BEGRUNT commented properly on the assault aspect, and you turned it back to wife beating. Which was not being discussed when you replied to BEGRUNT.

Some people can look at an actor and appreciate the artist even if they don't like the person. I've never been able to do that. That's why there are so few actors that I admire. Some I tolerate. Some I can't even stand to look at because of their rancid beliefs and loud mouths. Some of them are even decent actors (yes, Danny Glover, I'm talking about you).

I know a lot of conservatives love Bruce Springsteen.
I just read a lot of comments on this very site about how they hate a certain celebrity because of their "toxic views."
It's too bad the comedy post was taken down. I think its a great discussion. Comedy does lean left, simply because its hard to make fun of gays, women, and minorities without sounding like a jerk. Chris Rock makes fun of black people all the time. There is a way to do it without being a "racist," but its very difficult. Comedy, itself, is very difficult.

Pretty simple question, even for a dope like you.
Even the millions of 'blacks' who are living off Obama's 'stash' and collecting welfare and foodstamps and Section 8 and HUD and who knows whatever tax-payer funded programs that they are sucking off it would NOT give up that free ride to go somewhere else that they would have to actually DO SOMETHING!!!

Everytime you mention black people, you talk about food stamps and welfare. Guess what? Lots of white people are on those programs too. If you want to talk about why disproportionately more of the black population are on those programs, we can have that discussion.
You are proving my point about how he has not "done anything" for blacks. He is not the President of the blacks, he is the President of the United States of America.
So far, he has improved the economy, strengthened our military by repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell, and made the country safer by killing Bin Laden. Everyone benefits from those actions.
But look, killa, if you want to pretend that "Honky" and "N---er" are two equally offensive words, then you don't want to have a serious discussion. If you think that Congress has a Black Caucus but no White Caucus is racist, then you don't want to have a serious discussion. If you think the fact that there is no White Entertainment Channel, but there is a Black Entertainment Channel, means that black people are racist, then you don't want to have a serious discussion.
Breitbart used to say that the worst thing to do in this country was call someone a racist. But him and his followers have no problem calling black people racist, and for the dumbest reasons.

Your first comment about our country pretty much is a giveaway as to how you feel about it.
If you actually read, and comprehended, my statment about the food stamps, welfare, ect..........you might have noticed that I included anybody and everybody...........who lives this way by choice - and believe me, it IS by choice. And why, Mr. VD, would you think that 'blacks' have the highest percentage of people on thse programs???
As far as Boy Barry NOT being the 'president for blacks', but being the President of the USA.................that sounds pretty good in theory - but it's brutally and painfully obvious that he is NOT conducting himself this way in 'reality'.................I challenge you to prove me wrong on this point.
And, yeah Vacuous Dummy, our econmy has REALLY soared since Boy Barry got coronated, right?? What world do YOU live in, meat??? And our military has been STRENGTHENED by repealing DADT??? To quote an old Bob Dylan line - 'was that some kind of joke'??? I'm sorry, VD, but I don't have the brain-dead ability to even comment on a statement as ludicrous as that one - of ALL the idiotic statements that I've read of yours, that has to be one of the best/worst!!! And don't blab your stupid mouth about Boy Barry killing Bin Laden........................we all know the whole story of how that went down - and one of my sons is an ex-Navy SEAL, so right there you're irritating me more than usual by trying to elevate your girlie-man milquetoast bumbler-in-chief Boy Barry by giving him credit that he hasn't earned or doesn't deserve.
As for your next point...............it's so moronic that I can't reply at all...............you're too wrapped up in this whole 'race' garbage to HAVE a 'serious discussion'............in fact, I'm not sure if you're capable of having a 'serious discussion' about anything. I can tell you straight out, with 100% accuracy, that I know MORE about 'race relations' than you EVER will.............and believe it or not, it DOES exist. You're fooling yourself - as usual - to think otherwise.

Yup, thats some giveaway.
Blacks don't have the highest percentage of people on those programs. That is not what I said, and that is not the truth.
It might have something to do with coming out of slavery and starting out in poverty, and not having as much opportunities to overcome poverty by gainful employment, due to employee discrimination that still hounds black people today. White people have accumulated wealth and property in America for a long time. Black people WERE property. Try coming into a Monopoly game with no money, while your competitors have hotels on Boardwalk and Park Place. You will be out of the game in no time.
Here, you will say "nonsense, I employ black people all the time." But many places still will choose to not hire qualified black people. You don't speak for everyone.
I didn't say the economy soared. I said it is improving. At the end of the Bush presidency, we were losing jobs. Now, we are adding jobs. It's simple as that. Even Romney has admitted the economy is improving. You don't have a leg to stand on here.
I believe that allowing more Americans to serve in the military without fear of getting thrown out for personal orientation does indeed strengthen the military. I think the Commander in Chief is responsible for all successes and failure of the military.

Submitted by drsamherman on Fri, 03/16/2012 - 2:05pm.
As usual, your command of simplest of social science methodology is lacking. According to the 2010 fiscal year data at USDA per this report http://www.fns.usda.gov/ora/MENU/Published/snap/FILES/Participation/2010... from the Food & Nutrition Service, 22% of total SNAP recipients were African-American, while the US Census Bureau puts the African-American population at approximately 13% by the Census Bureau as reported http://www.census.gov/population/www/pop-profile/natproj.html in summary. So the composition of African-American SNAP program recipients is weighted at nearly twice the composition of the US population in terms of percentages. This is not a political statement, it is data provided by the government. So, your point that African-Americans don't have the highest percentage of people on those programs is erroneous when the actual program composition is compared to the overall US population. That's Epidemiology 101 and Demographics 101. Did you miss those lectures?
The rest of your post is just diatribe and and not fact. You fail to cite the US unemployment figures do not include those who have given up looking for work, and structurally do not report those who are underemployed. How convenient for you. You must be in the liberal arts or on the non-quantitative side of social sciences if you believe that tapping into emotion will substitute for poor scholarship.

I certainly have my own questions about anyone who adopts a porn star identification, perhaps this is your subconscious way of telling that you are obsessed with porno or perhaps you simply want the attention. That's your business.
Since the inception of the program, whether called Food Stamps or now SNAP, the rate of African-American participation has remained more or less constant relative to the population. This reflects a massive failure of all of the wars on poverty that have been waged over the years, and the growth in the last decade has been in the Latino proportion of the recipient base. The label "disproportionate" is dependent upon how you define that with respect to a time series or a cross sectional/point in time reference.
The fact is that no president has done much to change this since the program was first constructed in its present form from the Food Stamp Act of 1964 as part of LBJ's war on poverty. The rates of participation were traditionally highest in the south, where there is also a greater proportion of the African-American community than in northern states. That has not changed much either over the 47 years of available data. So when you say "disproportionate", you have to define exactly in what manner. The rates of poverty in the South have been high since the end of the Civil War, in all race classifications and concentrated in states such as Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, both Carolinas and Texas. The demographics of the two traditionally poorest states, Louisiana and Mississippi, are changing rapidly as is Texas.

That's not what you "gave away" in your previous post to which killa37 is referencing . You wrote that America is *supposed* to be the best country.
"It might have something to do with coming out of slavery and starting out in poverty"
The plight of continued high levels of crime, unemployment, and low-income stature of blacks today has to do with something that happened 150 years ago? One and a half centuries ago? AND, after over half a century of workplace / education affirmative action programs and entitlements galore (all to help "assist" them) and the Civil Rights movement that fought for more equality?
"and not having as much opportunities to overcome poverty by gainful employment"
Again, see above. They've been over-compensated for in the past half century.
"due to employee discrimination that still hounds black people today."
A generic, sweeping claim that's pulled straight out of your liberal *ss. Source it. Show us some stats and/or recorded instances (and not just an isolated one or two, but enough to file under "hounding") of proven discrimination based solely on someone's skin color.
"But many places still will choose to not hire *qualified* black people."
You go and repeat the out-of-your-*ss claim. See above. Source it. You made the charge, that "many places" in today's America are choosing not to hire black people who are seemingly "qualified". Link us to current news stories of employers found guilty of racial discrimination in their hiring practices.
"I said it is improving. At the end of the Bush presidency, we were losing jobs. Now, we are adding jobs. It's simple as that."
Once again, more homework for you -- which I shouldn't have to keep requesting as this was on you from the get-go. Source it. Find stats/numbers or a chart that show we have a healthier economy now vs. three years ago, in private sector job growth, unemployment numbers, etc..

Generally, the essential elements of assault consist of an act intended to cause an apprehension of harmful or offensive contact that causes apprehension of such contact in the victim.
The act required for an assault must be overt. Although words alone are insufficient, they might create an assault when coupled with some action that indicates the ability to carry out the threat. A mere threat to harm is not an assault; however, a threat combined with a raised fist might be sufficient if it causes a reasonable apprehension of harm in the victim.
Intent is an essential element of assault. In tort law, it can be specific intent—if the assailant intends to cause the apprehension of harmful or offensive contact in the victim—or general intent—if he or she intends to do the act that causes such apprehension. In addition, the intent element is satisfied if it is substantially certain, to a reasonable person, that the act will cause the result. A defendant who holds a gun to a victim's head possesses the requisite intent, since it is substantially certain that this act will produce an apprehension in the victim. In all cases, intent to kill or harm is irrelevant.
