Liam Neeson Is Trending For The Most Unfortunate Reason

This is horrible.

Liam Neeson is trending. Usually when a random celeb is trending in the middle of the day, it’s because 1.) They said something controversial or 2.) They died.

This is the former on steroids.

Neeson admitted to thinking about murdering a random black man as a form of vengeance for his friend who was raped.

It was some time ago. Neeson had just come back from overseas to find out about the rape. “She handled the situation of the rape in the most extraordinary way,” Neeson says. “But my immediate reaction was…” There’s a pause. “I asked, did she know who it was? No. What colour were they? She said it was a black person.

See? I don’t even understand that thought process. Who cares what skin tone the person had, unless they were SOLELY trying to help authorities identify the suspect?

“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 [Neeson gestures air quotes with his fingers] ‘black bastard’ would come out of a pub and have a go at me about something, you know? So that I could,” another pause, “kill him.”

OMG OMG WHAT???? He wanted to murder some random black guy because a man who happened to be black raped his friend? That’s ACTUALLY racist and ACTUALLY insane.

Neeson clearly knows what he’s saying, and how shocking it is, how appalling. “It took me a week, maybe a week and a half, to go through that. She would say, ‘Where are you going?’ and I would say, ‘I’m just going out for a walk.’ You know? ‘What’s wrong?’ ‘No no, nothing’s wrong.’”

Holy crap.

He deliberately withholds details to protect the identity of the victim. “It was horrible, horrible, when I think back, that I did that,” he says. “And I’ve never admitted that, and I’m saying it to a journalist. God forbid.”

“Holy shit,” says Tom Bateman, his co-star, who is sitting beside him.

“It’s awful,” Neeson continues, a tremble in his breath. “But I did learn a lesson from it, when I eventually thought, ‘What the fuck are you doing,’ you know?”

But see? That’s the kind of thinking that liberals assign to all of us. They assume we all think like that, which is SO FREAKING WRONG.

All three of us know – Neeson, Bateman and I – that this is a distressing admission. “I come from a society – I grew up in Northern Ireland in the Troubles – and, you know, I knew a couple of guys that died on hunger strike, and I had acquaintances who were very caught up in the Troubles, and I understand that need for revenge, but it just leads to more revenge, to more killing and more killing, and Northern Ireland’s proof of that. All this stuff that’s happening in the world, the violence, is proof of that, you know. But that primal need, I understand.”

He continues, more generally, about violence on screen. His tone changes. We’re back, suddenly, to a normal junket interview. But this had not been the average confession to make. As he had admitted, it’s horrible, awful. Is it possible to hear that said out loud or to read those words and not judge? Then again, think of the circumstance – he had learnt someone close to him had been raped. No one would ever want to have to confront that in their own life. Do other people react that way?

What happened to his friend was and is horrific, but no. Normal people don’t seek vengeance by hurting some random person who happens to be the same race as the perpetrator.

Liam Neeson’s admission was a horrific example of racist, collectivist thinking, much like what many blue checkmark leftists engage in against white people on Twitter on a daily basis.

He seems to somewhat regret his FLAMING RACIST way of thinking, but, uh, yeah. I just can’t comprehend even THINKING that way from the beginning. It’s gross.
