Lol. Wanting to kill a random black person because your friend got raped by a black guy is fucking insane. He deserves whatever comes his way. That being said, Mark Wahlberg beat the shit out of several people because they were minorities, blinding one of them, and he has no problem finding work. Liam Neeson will be fine. He's already earned tens of millions of dollars. If he has to not be in movies for a year or two he'll manage.

Liam Neeson was right to admit what happened and should be applauded not pilloried, I fully agree with John Barnes on this matter.

I don't care very much about someone's thoughts. Not enough to erase them from a piece of art that they participated in.
I do think that he kind of deserves it though for talking about his thoughts in an attempt to virtue signal or something. Ducking stupid idea

yeah and I don't care about the Men in Black franchise or Hollywood movies or Liam Neeson enough for that either but walking around armed and looking for a fight so you can kill a black guy isn't so much a thought crime as much as a shitty thing he did and admitted to and deserves to be judged for

If he said he was looking to abduct and rape a child, and that he drove around near elementary schools looking for a kid walking alone to grab and throw in his van, but never ultimately did grabbed a child, would you say that was a thought-crime?
Also let's be clear, no one is calling for him to be arrested for not murdering someone. Just that maybe if you at one point wanted to kill people for the crime of being black, you aren't someone who should be on a movie screen earning millions of dollars.

If someone said that they had tried I might care. I think tons of horrible things and I don't tell anyone so it doesn't matter.
I'll bet you and everyone else has had deplorable thoughts.

Here is the relevant quote from the interview.
How is this just thoughts???
@964,479 (Kook !!rcSrAtaAC)
Here is the relevant quote from the interview.
It begins as an explanation of how his latest character turns to anger. “There’s something primal – God forbid you’ve ever had a member of your family hurt under criminal conditions,” he begins, hesitantly but thoughtfully. “I’ll tell you a story. This is true.”
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.
“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.”
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.’”

Its somewhere in between. He wanted someone to pick a fight with him. He wasn't going around looking to assault someone.
And I still don't think that this anecdote deserves him being erased from a movie. Tons of people get into bar fights.

I don't think erasing him from movie makes any sense. It's the 4th movie in a franchise that should have stopped at 2. It's going to be a turd of a movie regardless. He just torpedoed any future roles. It's like when Mel Gibson called that lady cop sugar tits and said Jews were responsible for all the wars in the world and that he hoped his ex got raped by "a pack of" you know whats. He had to step away from movies for a while.
Why are people falling over themselves to defend some rich asshole who doesn't give a shit about them??? I'm so confused.

I agree it feels quite Soviet. I'd rather just erase the movie from existence because it really did not need to be made and in gonna be stuck hearing about this sbitty movie until its screenings mercifully end in a couple months.

I think I'm sane and I don't want him "erased". I also think he's an asshole whose job is marketing himself and his movies well, and he did about as bad a job of that as he possibly could, and will just have to sit and count his piles of money instead of filming generic revenge action movie #56 next summer. I will shed a single tear for him.
