Liam Neeson
This is why I just can't take the left seriously. Liberals and the media are going around talking about how Liam Neeson is zomg! a big evil racist who deserves no forgiveness!
If you read the actual interview, he never even entertained the idea of killing an innocent black person.
“I went up and down areas with a cosh, hoping I’d be approached by somebody - I’m ashamed to say that - and I did it for maybe a week, hoping some ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could … kill him.”
If someone comes out of a pub and has a go at you about something (which presumably means violently accost him), they're not innocent now, are they? He would have been acting in self-defense.
Now, to be certain, the idea that he would have gotten satisfaction out of the act BECAUSE the person happened to be black is dispicable in and of itself. However, he expressed remorse at this and his point was that we need to think about where racist thoughts might be coming from and work to rid ourselves of them. That we should strive to be better than our primal instincts.
But the looney left insists that he was just looking to murder any random black person and the only reason he didn't is because of blind luck that he couldn't find a victim.
