DISGRACED MOVIEMAKER HARVEY WEINSTEIN WAS EATING AT A
RESTAURANT IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA WHEN THIS HAPPENED.
>> DON'T DO THAT MAN.
>>YOU ARE A PIECE OF SHIT.
GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.
GET YOUR FUCKING ASS OUT OF HERE.
YOU ARE A FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT.
>>AND WHAT WOULD YOU DO ABOUT IT?
>>SHUT THE FUCK UP.
>> HE WAS THE GUY GETTING SLAPPED IF THAT WASN'T CLEAR.
THESE GUYS COME UP TO THEM WHILE THEY ARE EATING, THERE HAS
BEEN SOME DRINKING DONE.
>> STEVE APPARENTLY HAD SAT DOWN AT THE TABLE WITH WEINSTEIN AND
THEY HAD A CONVERSATION FOR A WHILE, THEN THEY GET UP AND THEN
HE DECIDES TO TELL HIM HE IS
FULL OF SHIT AND SLAP HIM.
>>OBVIOUSLY DON'T SLAP PEOPLE OR EVEN TERRIBLE PEOPLE WHO
SHOULD SUFFER LEGAL CONSEQUENCES.
HE KNOWS HE IS
WITH THE GUY AND WHAT HARVEY
WEINSTEIN HAS DONE, THAT IS ONE OF THE THINGS WHEN YOU HAVE DONE
A HISTORY LIKE HE DOES, ALL OF THE PEOPLE LIKE YOUR FRIENDS AND
FAMILY HOW DO THEY SQUARE WHAT
THEY KNOW OF YOU WITH WHAT THEY NOW HAVE LEARNED ABOUT YOU AND
THEN CONTINUE TO HAVE FANCY DINNERS WITH YOU?
>>IF YOU'RE HANGING OUT WITH HARVEY WEINSTEIN I WOULD NOT
BE CHALLENGING PEOPLE TO A FIGHT.
AS TO THE PHYSICAL EDUCATIONTHERE IS A VERY
UNDERSTANDABLE DESIRE TO SHAME
HIM IN PUBLIC ESPECIALLY BECAUSE SO FAR IT APPEARS THAT JUSTICE
IS MISSING.
THIS GUY HAVE CREDIBLE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM THAT HE
RAPED PEOPLE AND BARGED INTO THE HOUSE, RIPPED HER CLOTHES OFF
AND RAPED THEM.
THERE IS NOT MUCH AMBIGUITY, RUSSELL SIMMONS IMMEDIATELY IS
PURSUED BY THE AUTHORITIES, OTHERS ARE BUT HARVEY IS STILL
GOING OUT TO DINNER IN PUBLIC.
THERE IS FRUSTRATION AND WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE JUSTICE IT GETS
ACTED OUT IN THIS WAY, BUT IT IS A BAD IDEA OVERALL.
SO THERE ARE A COUPLE OF REASONS WHY IT IS BAD, YOU CAN GO TO
JAIL FOR ASSAULTING HIM.
VIGILANTE JUSTICE IS ALWAYS A TERRIBLE IDEA.
BUT ALSO MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IS YOU DON'T
WANT TO CREATE ANY SYMPATHY FOR A GUY LIKE HARVEY WEINSTEIN.
AND IT IS A NATURAL HUMAN REACTION.
REMEMBER THE PERSON YOU FELT SYMPATHY FOR IN GAME OF
THRONES YOU NEVER THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN?
IT WAS IN THIS SCENE.
>> SHAME, SHAME, SHAME.
>> EVEN THE DESPISED CERSEI LANNISTER WHEN SHE WAS SPAT
UPON, SLAPPED, ASSAULTED AND HUMILIATED IN PUBLIC, YOU FELT
SYMPATHY FOR HER.
I KNOW A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUSTIFIABLY
ENRAGED OF HARVEY WEINSTEIN'S ALLEGATIONS BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE
POLICE ON THE EAST AND WEST
COAST ARE LOOKING INTO IT.
