In reality, two wrongs don't make a right. Both of them are wrong in their own ways. Irrespective, I think people should be very sensitive especially with others.

The difference here is one can actually go to jail for their action while we can debate the words of the other.
As I said, it has little to do with the joke and more about the beef that has been brewing between both parties because people have said worst things to their faces and they've laughed about it.
Comedy in its essence is about making light of serious issues. If we go about hitting people who say things we don't like, we create an avenue for violence, which fortunately no one has the monopoly of ...
I understand you, I particularly enjoyed how you disected the matter. The beef wouldn't really be a focal point, the slap would. We all know that comedy sometimes digs deep into the private lives of people which might not be so cool. Its a wake up call for comedians to cultivate perceptive filters. Nevertheless, the slap wasn't the solution
For me, it sets a bad precedence for things to come.
How does a comedian or satirist talk about sensitive issues without fear of being lynched by people who don't agree with their opinions?
I won't try to whitewash the situation by claiming both parties are wrong because the gravity of their actions is polarising.
You don't go with a gun to a battle of words.
