AlexLFisher Why is this newsworthy? More tabloid ABC crap.

AlexLFisher He’s not a racist now, though he was back then. & he’s just atoning for past sins, like a good Christian should. So if God can forgive him, shouldn’t we? Or what’s the point of having an epiphany?

AlexLFisher Neeson has no need to apologize. His nights of seeking out the rapist by narrowing it down to race was an error - as he admits now - not because he sought out a black man but because he allowed his darker emotions to rule for a while. Some people seek offence.

AlexLFisher I love it when Leftards start eating each other.

AlexLFisher Personelly, his intention didn't want to discriminate black or white, yet he just diffirentiated between good and bad.

AlexLFisher The left look up from ripping apart Covington kids. Ohh look a celebrity. Lets get him, Munch munch munch.

AlexLFisher Typical condemnation of a person's thoughts! Anyone calling him out as racist would have the same thoughts if it concerned a close friend or family member as it did him!

AlexLFisher I think the point was that he wanted to avenge his friend’s attack no matter who did it.

AlexLFisher I seem to recall the statement in question was made 20 years ago? I know my values & beliefs have changed significantly in my lifetime. Don’t we accord everyone the opportunity to learn and change?

AlexLFisher There’s zero point to ever revealing a thing about yourself if you’re an actor, or any other kind of person.

AlexLFisher The court of public outcry has pretty much drowned out his voice now. I actually feel sorry for him. As ill-conceived as his words were, it was done out of contrition and shame for his behaviour. Honestly, we like to pretend we're perfect, but none of us are.

AlexLFisher he has been labelled by the howling mob - too late jack

Liam Neeson asserts he's 'not racist' after controversial revenge-killing interviewThe actor appeared on Good Morning America to try to make amends for his recent admission, and said 'power-walking' helped clear him of his 'primal urge' to kill a black man. Everyone is racist these days Actually yes you are! You wanted to kill any coloured person based on the fact there black that makes him racist... I don't think he was being racist, was just trying to find the piece of shit that raped his friend! If the rapist was a white man, guaranteed people would then be worrying about the women. Where in the story do they ask if the lady was alright?

Liam Neeson forced to defend himself over 'racist' comments | Sky News AustraliaActor Liam Neeson says he is not a racist after saying he had violent thoughts about killing a black person after learning a relative had been raped by one. \n\nThe comments were made during an interview with the Independent. \n\nNeeson says sought help from friends and a priest to get rid of his anger. Everyone is a little bit racist- Because race doesn't exist. Tribes do. He was being honest about a horrific moment in his life, at that moment he was racially motivated to seek revenge on his friends rapist. Is he a racist now? I highly doubt it. Give it up Liam mate! The perpetually offended will never listen to anything you say once you mentioned the word ‘black’. Facts don’t matter to them, only the word ‘black’. That’s all they hear to get triggered by! Facts are irrelevant to them as they hinder their emotive rants!

Liam Neeson under fire over shock ‘racist’ admissionLiam Neeson has revealed his shame after once walking the streets looking for a “black b******” to kill when a family member was raped. Rapists should be killed. FFS, the guy has explicitly stated that he now understands what he did was ‘horrible’, so he grew and changed after the experience. Most of us understand that you can’t hold an entire group responsible for the actions of a minority NotAllBlackMen Do ANY of you dimwits ever research anything? A cosh (also known as a sap) is NOT a bar or baseball bat like, it is soft, flexible and small enough to carry unnoticed in a pocket.

Could that be why his performance in WolfCreek was so authentic? Someone wants some money 💰 ... what bullshit to come up with that after 40 years ... !!! Actors beware whoever you sleep with now might twist the story around in a few years time ! ... Why is it only rich public figures who get outed and attacked for sexual miconduct in the past, 40 years ago? Can’t work it out.
