How comfortable are you guys with the idea of armed people walking around near you having revenge fantasy's hoping you'll start shit with them?

Not comfortable at all, but I suspect that happens way more often than people would like to think it does.
Whats the solution? Stop and Search laws in case anyone walking around at night has a weapon?

every person with a concealed carry and ready to fly off the handle at the slightest provocation, so half of America

If you go from store to store telling yourself you're going to steal the first bag of pistachios you see but miraculously none seem to materialize it doesn't mean you officially started breaking the law and ought to be condemned for it

Who's fucking asking for a solution?! Things can be reprehensible without needing a direct "solution".

As for Neeson's specific case, like we can start to hypothesize how we'd stop random revenge thirsty white dudes from searching for black people to kill, but that involves acknowledging toxic masculinity and racism not "thought crimes" like y'all are implying lmao

lmao marrec going full Era. The reason Neeson brought the anecdote in the first place is because he thought it was awful and it weighed on his conscience 40 years later. No one, including himself, if saying he should get a pat on the back, nor should you be reeeeeing about something he didn't do 40 years ago.

Ya, it's fucked up though that he did go roaming the streets looking to kill a black guy.

Like, how is this even a fucking question?

I'm not even saying anything should fucking happen to him, I'm just acknowledging that it's fucked up.

who ever said it wasn't fucked up though?

Quote from: Slaven
Liam acted on those racist feelings

So Neeson DID kill a guy. Lock him up.

Wandering around the streets with a weapon specifically in service of killing a black person is action

eeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh c'mon now.
Telling someone to go kys in an online game is also "an action". An action that is objectively more damaging to someone.

The implication is that taking the action to wander around looking for a random black dude to kill is no big because he didn't actually find a random black dude to kill

his quote was something to the effect of "looking for a black guy that's gonna start shit with me," so there was a variable of self defense in there as well. Since he wasn't attacked by a black man, he didn't go after any.

The point of his anecdote isn't racism, or toxic masculinity.
Its about most humans having the capacity for great evil. Black people do heinous shit. Women do heinous shit.
e: and I'll tell you for free, way more people think about doing heinous shit than ever actually follow through and do that heinous shit.

The moral of this story isn't 'don't have bad thoughts'.
Its 'never reveal you have had bad thoughts publically, because you'll get hounded as though you had actually done the thing you thought about'.
Which itself is fucking terrifyingly toxic.

I need to know how hard he was looking for a black guy to kill before I know how outraged to be. Was he really going to kill somebody or was it like a "I was totally planning on going to the gym, but then something came up."

It's almost like there's a middle ground between merely thinking about revenge and fully going through with revenge.. and Nesson hit that middle ground, which did include some.... *shock and awe* concerning ACTIONS.

That ended about nothing happening (as far we know) and most of the world not knowing about it.

He's a liar too!

Quote from: Lying Neeson
I grew up in Northern Ireland, of course. Lived all through the Troubles; saw violence, the results of violence, at first hand. It's always terrified me and fascinated me. So it was a gut reaction, something about how that rage can eat you alive. I can understand that. I haven't known it myself, but I knew guys who did. Some of them aren't on this planet any more because of it.

Is this his confession?!?!

I'm keeping myself to myself. And I like it that way. I'm not hunting. I'm the opposite of a - what would a male cougar be? Is there such a thing? Whatever it is, I'm not that.

He'll be fine.

As for what we can take from it, like the ravenous dogs we are? It's a deeply personal story about revenge and yes racism, the anecdote itself isn't about toxic masculinity or racism, obviously, but aspects of his actions were driven by both (as well as other personal things obviously). Like, this little anecdote can be more than one thing without devolving into some extreme counterreaction to SJWs calling for Liam's head. Whatever happened it was likely multiple decades ago and anyone trying to assume Neeson's mental state or views on black people based on something he did 30-40 years ago is tilting at windmills.

I agree doing it on a press junket is about the worst situation possible to do so.
I disagree that viewing his actions as ultimately harmful only to himself and his own peace of mind and should be weighted as such is an extreme counter-reaction, but I guess the danger of holding extreme viewpoints is not recognising that they are.

There a thread about Soulja Boy were most posters tried to ignore the user mentioning that he used homophobic slurs in twitter during his console business meltdown. Morgan Freeman is persona non grata in Reee, though.

It also goes without saying and just keeps deflecting from the point.   Obviously it's not equal to actually going through with it, but his actions greatly increased the chance that he'd commit murder.   "Well he didn't commit a murder" isn't an argument against the fact his actions were incredibly concerning.

But nobody is celebrating his actions. He said he was being a dumb fucker himself.

Anyways I think it's a good story and a super interesting moment of reflection personally;  and while for his personal sake he probably shouldn't have shared it's still interesting.

Yeah, it's pretty telling. Just imagine for one second if a PoC actor admitted the same thing, targeting random white people in the street for murdering them, because they were white. Imagine someone like Jaime Foxx or Terry Crews admitting something like this... It would end their career in 5 seconds top and it would be everywhere in the news.


I'm seeing this a lot on Era and I don't think it's true.  But it's just a gut feeling so whatever.

My gut feeling is if this was an identical story by, fuck, morgan freeman? there'd be a lot of posters saying how understandable feeling like that is because white supremacy

We already know how they would react

You're dodging the question quite deftly by framing this as being about babies.

The lyrics don't target all babies. Just white ones. The lyrics are also sung by a black man.

Now why, in right-wing resurgence 2018, Nazis marching in the streets 2018, online interconnectivity 2018, would a black man make pointed rhetoric towards specifically white people?

It's just a mystery, I guess.

Anyways I think it's a good story and a super interesting moment of reflection personally;  and while for his personal sake he probably shouldn't have shared it's still interesting.

I'd like to think that mayeb if it had been handled differently it could have been a teachable moment, and that other people who are suffering from dark thoughts might look to get help because if that bad ass from taken can get fucked up and need to talk to someone maybe they can too.

Sadly it is what it is.

Morgan Freeman is persona non grata in Reee, though.

Oh, he is? What did he do?
I can't keep up with the unperson list any more

Seems to be a creeper. Just probably not near Cosby levels.

Did that interviewer deliberately pick the "He's right you know" image for that interview?

The last part I disagree, talking about racism is important... we shouldn’t let people like Nephente or Ttump being the dominant voices, though.
