It'd be like giving OJ a pass if he kills someone [else] because, well, it's just OJ being OJ, and it's not like he's never done it before. (Yes, I understand that what Kanye did is in a completely different ballpark than what OJ got away with. I'm just using it as an example of why "Person X is just being Person X" is an illogical justification for anything.) |

I don't want to come off looking like a Kanye groupie, but people are making this into more than what it should be. Kanye has interrupted awards shows before. He's spoken his mind at inopportune moments. This is not new (and not even the worst thing he's done). People are acting like they've never seen this from him before.
Plus, they're talking about how he picked on this "poor, defenseless little girl." Taylor is 19 and in the music industry. I'm sure she can fend for herself.
