Question about the michael richards incicdent?
Im watching the today show, and the two young african americans are on and stated that they should get some kind of compensation for what michael richards said at the comedy club, (money wise) does anyone else agree with this, I mean, dont get me wrong i think its terrible what he said and completely uncalled for, and his career is basically over but do you think he should give them money?

Re: Question about the michael richards incicdent?
Uh, absolutely not. What does finanacial compensation have to do with his actions? Are they nuts?

Re: Question about the michael richards incicdent?
Absolutely not. Their recourse was to get up and walk out if they did not like what was going on. They could have even demanded their money back from the club for what they spent. We all get insulted on occasion by what people do or say. That doesn't mean we have the right to get compensated for it. Such people are just opportunists.

Re: Question about the michael richards incicdent?
NO they should not receive any sort of compensation. That is unreal for them to even suggest that .  people are always looking for a quick buck and to be honest will the money take away what was said ?

Re: Question about the michael richards incicdent?
There is no law that says you can't be insulted or offended. At most they should have their tickets refunded. They don't deserve any other monetary compensation.

I agree!!! This is just pathetic that people are looking for some monetary compensation. I mean it is hurtful to listen to Richards comments but money cannot justify the hurt.

Get compensated for what??

I saw the news the other day that everyone did receive a refunds -- it was the first time in 25+ years the comedy club did that.

They shouldn't get paid a dime. Maybe a refund of their tickets. That's about it

Re: Question about the michael richards incicdent?
The only money that I believe they are entitled to is a refund for what they paid to be there...and they were given that by the Laugh Factory.
I think that the Laugh Factory might be able to get some money out of Richards...maybe fight him on the fact that it hurt their business, they were out the money they refunded and it may have hurt their reputation.
But back to your original question...nope. I do not believe they are entitled to any further compensation. An apology...definitely.

Re: Question about the michael richards incicdent?
I have no idea why they think they should be compensated!!!
I think justice was served - he was exposed as the racist he is and that speaks way more than money!
Maybe I should get a few bucks from the guy who flipped me off on the LIE?

I think they should get a refund, and possibly tickets to a new show at the comedy club. Other than that, i dont think they should get anything.

Re: Question about the michael richards incicdent?
At most they should get what they paid, refunded.
I think suing for anything more realy cheapens what happened and makes the whole incident all the more worse. Imo.
