How so? I don't know anything about him personally
People are mad because he denounced Gass when Gass made comments regarding Trump's would be assassin missing, but security at concerts are trash and it's reasonable the the both of them could be shot by a Trump supporter.
Ye, but then again the band split because of it. They'll probably reform and make a dumb song about it in the future, but still.
Shot by a Trump supporter?!? At a concert in Australia?!? I think that's a bit of a stretch, mate.
I think they meant in the future, not in that particular concert lol
...do you think they'll never leave Australia? Don't they both live in America?
That's not their only tour stop or do you expect the two to apply for citizenship? Also, Trump in an international cult leader at this point. Someone could cobble together a zipgun anywhere and sneak it close.
Made comments? He blew out a candle and wished for them not to miss Trump with a bullet. Literally calling for the death of someone else. Wishing death on anyone is a pretty shit thing to do.
I wish Putin nothing but death and misery. I guess, I am a real shitty person.
I wish Trump and Putin could somehow be used to bash each other to death, simultaneously. So, I guess I'm as bad as you.
Was there any psychological benefit to Italians to see Mussolini hang, and spit on his corpse?
I'd say it helped reduce the impression that Italians supported who he was and what he represented.
Still sad that hitler died on a workplace accident?
I wish for Trump what Trump wishes for his "enemies".
Nah dog, not when they want and created policy that causes people you love to die.
Yes, that's what happened. But we're not talking about Gass, we're talking about Jack Black and his reaction to that which was cancelling the tour.
Which in my opinoin was a perfectly reasonable response given the recent attempt on Trump's life, as well as the threats that had already been made about specific Taylor Swift concerts.
I can't even imagine the amount of death and rape threats that they and their families received after those comments. Imagine leaving for a world tour amidst that.
I guess fuck him for not wanting his fans to get shot up at a concert by some psychopath.
Because of cowards like you. I have to take my shoes off at the airport for zero reason other than to obey.
Wishing for the death of verifiably evil people is perfectly fine, healthy, and normal.
Why not having them locked up and prosecuted? All those rabid MAGAs calling for death and destruction are deranged, I think we agree. Who gets to decide when it's appropriate to assassinate politicians in our democracy?
When they're inches away from regaining the highest office in the country, pretty much anyone, because it clearly won't be the people who's job it is. Who talk endlessly about how he's a very real threat to the very fabric of our country, then do fuck all to protect their citizens, allowing years to pass before his very public and overt crimes are even addressed.
No. Jack O'Neill shot Apophis in the face like 4 times. Luke Skywalker ended Darth Vader's reign. Captain Janeway demolished the Borg. Biden and Garland allowed a domestic terrorist and real-life cartoon villain to campaign for president, and he may actually win. Fuck. That. At this point I don't give a flying fuck how "complex" real life is. He needs to go, just like Apophis.
Except for a literal and admitted wannabe despot who would have made Osama Bin Laden go "hey man, not cool."
