(11,464 posts)and now MY FIRST AMENDMENT right to peaceful assembly is shattered
one can NOT yell fire in a non-burning theatre, cause a riot, stampede
or yell a terroristic word going into an airport
actions lead to real consequences
on paper things sound nice
but by the same thing, people with the flu because of Wakefield don't get vaccines
then they also go to work, go to school and infect those who for one reason or other that are legit, can't get a vaccine (say a pregnant woman) and the babies die
Yes, legally they are allowed to.
Yes, the KKK can march, however yes, you can spit back at them and laugh and mock them
HOWEVER with someone with a gun
if you spit or laugh at them, they will kill you.
Instead of just keep marching
adults should be responsible
and QT is NOT a responsible adult. He knows what he is doing and he to use the smut term that he wants, gets off on it.
How do I know? Because of the type of movie he himself watches.
Those movies are NOT satires or irony.
And he leads rightwing soundbytes
(I am Jewish) and quite honestly, his Inglorius Bastards perverted the truth and is the line the NRA always uses, and NO the holocaust would not have been stopped if everyone had a gun,
everyone who died still would have died
You live by the gun, you die by a faster gunslinger
and there is no stopping someone with a gun if they are going to use it
therefore, guns need to be stopped.
I applaud all.
Because the rightwing does not know irony, sarcasm, wit. they just live out the characters.
I can watch Death Wish with Charles Bronson and root for him IN THE MOVIES
I can say Bernie Goetz was a paranoic vigilante who was NOT a hero, and what he did should I myself would not have a gun, nor in any way think what Kersey the character did should be done in real life.
I can give up watching a new version of it.
I would welcome Quentin Tarentino to do what David Lynch(artiste') did
Do a Straight Story with Richard Farnsworth and a lawnmower.
One of the best film Lynch ever did.
And no violence at all.
Just a simple story.
all the NRA soundbytes have been proven false.
And Twilight Zone in the 50s/60s made 2 great episodes
one about a gunslinger
one about a pool hustler
and both were about the fastest/bestest in the world, now deceased, who had to keep proving he was the fastest, best, in the afterlife and was never at peace
Til the person who was faster and better won and shot him dead.
Your gun does nothing til when someone is faster than you.
