I don't think he should get special treatment. But, on the other hand, I don't think people should expect more out of him because he's in the public eye and might be someone's role model. I think they're normal people put into extraordinary situations. I would never want to be that famous. I'm not a confrontational person, and, have never harmed anyone physically, but, I think if I had to put up with the crap that famous people have to put up with, I'd probably be knocking people out. Or maybe throwing my phone. But, all jokes aside, as far as putting him in jail, I think it should be taken as anyone else doing the same thing. But, the situation surrounding the phone throwing needs to be taken into consideration as well. How badly hurt was the hotel person? Does anyone know what happened to provoke him? And, for the record, he's one of my favorite actors and I love that he's not typical "hollywood." he might be a pompous jerk (and, i don't know one way or the other if he is), but, i don't think he pretends to be someone he isn't, and, that's what i like about him. sorry if that makes no sense. ha ha. Can't wait to see "Cinderella Man."
