Snowflakes are upset over an honest admission by Neeson.

However, Neeson should have darned well known that people were going to get upset in this hypersensitive day we live in, so it's on him. Seriously, he should have just kept his mouth shut, TMI. His statements served zero purpose.

Liam Neeson revealed a shockingly racist incident in an interview about his new film, “Cold Pursuit,” saying that years ago, after he found out a friend was raped, he cased the streets for a week hoping to kill any “black bastard” who crossed him.

The 66-year-old actor was talking with The Independent about how he got into character for his new role, and he recalled an apparent rape of someone close to him from “some time ago,” according to the news site.

Oh no, they are going to boycott his films and blackballing him. No more acting job for him. Look what they happened to Schultz for just thinking of running for a President.

I went to Twitter to see if this was real because it seemed really out there. My God the memes are hilarious.

Not that the topic is funny, but you know Twitter can turn anything into jokes.

There’s lots of sympathy for his publicist though. Heh.

Anyway he says he regrets ever feeling that way so we’ll see where this goes.

Neeson will be okay as he has developed a set of unique skills over his long career.

I think Hollywood stars would be better off keeping their mouths shut and stay off social media.

Hearing Neeson say that, I would have every reason to be scared and angry at the same time. I'm Black. I have to consider that he could want to kill ME!!! Snowflake? I'm simply looking out for my own life.

It's pretty cowardly to want to find some random stranger because someone else caused harm to a friend or family member. Now if he had found the actual perp and brought about some actual justice, that's one thing. But he becomes no better than the rapist when he wants to take out his anger on someone not involved in the original crime

Just offering some clarity here.

In "euro speak", crossed him doesn't mean crossing his path but rather messing with him. (As in "Chauncey was cross that his tea and crumpets fell off his tray while watching cricket on the telly"

I don't agree with his general point of view but he wasn't just out looking for a random black person minding their own business to attack for a week and fortunately never saw a single one.

We've been boycotting the hypocrite for years.

I don’t think you have to be a snowflake to think the desire to kill an innocent person in vengeance is wrong. It’s like an American saying they’re looking to murder the next Irishman they see because an Irishman raped their friend.
