Child sees the severed head of his father on TV

    The child named Barron was watching TV when he screamed out in horror as he saw the severed head of his father on TV. Barron aged 11 saw the bloodied head of his father named Donald being held aloft by known 'comedy' terrorist Kathy Griffin.
    TMZ reported Barron was terrorised as he believed it was the severed head of his father.
    Kathy Griffin has lost her job at CNN for beheading Donald, as Barron's family ask 'what kind of sick and twisted person does this?'
    Kathy has apologised for her actions.

    The media is being accused of exploiting the child by putting this into the media. Most people would argue that children are off line when it comes to being used in the media.
    Whether the story is true or not, the child has been made out to being very stupid.
    Would you sue someone if they put an effigy of a family member on TV with their head being severed?
    Should it come under the term 'hate crime'?
    Incitement to violence?

    Are you trying to win an award for the most dramatic use of hyperbolic outrage or wha’?

    Its not a " hate crime " because the Liberal left can do whatever they want, call anyone whatever they want & shut down free speech wherever & whenever they want.
    Young Barron has already been ridiculed by the media when Trump won so not surprised. Kinda ironic they call Trump a bully but they feel its OK call an 11 year names

    Kathy Griffin had a mocked up Donald Trump head and swung it around on the internet.

    Finally, unlike the OP I'm not on first name terms with the Donald or his son.

    Typical liberal behaviour… pretending to care about others but not caring about the suffering of an 11 year old innocent child.







    Am I doing it right? Is this how I do outrage?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,749 ✭✭✭✭wes


    The alt-right seem to be getting "triggered" an awful lot lately.

    BTW, this doesn't compare to the crap Obama got, and Trump even invited Ted Nugent to the White house, who joked about killing Obama.

    The whole thing is hypocrisy of the highest order. The most sensitive snow flakes are Donald Trump and his supporters.

    You havent mentioned being " triggered " " safe spaces " of " shutting you down " along with the usual racist/bigot yayaya

    :confused: I'm not really computing this in the context of this thread. What has this got to do with liberals shutting down free speech?

    So an 11 year old being terrified because he saw (what I assume was a well designed fake) his dad's severed bleeding head on TV is now a sensitive snow flake?? :confused:

    Can you imagine the reaction if somebody from FOX had pulled a similar stunt during Obama's presidency.

    Griffin has rightly been punished for her inappropriate actions. Although in her defence I've heard she suffers from her nerves, to put it politely.

    Dont seem to remember main stream media attacking Obama from the start of his Presidency, never seen anyone with a dismembered head thinking it was funny. But I'm sure he did in deed get it far worse

    always going to be some aholes, a big difference between some randomer and someone who has their own spot on CNN and was working with a team of people where they knew this would get national coverage. these are supposed to be the good guys, the resistance and all that...:D

    it was posted on twitter. I doubt barron is one of her followers on twitter. if media outlets decided to show it on national tv that is down to them.

    Where was it on tv? Was it on a programme that a child would reasonably be expected to watch? I've only heard about it as a photo.

    I find the photo itself tasteless, but if it was shown after the watershed then it's the kid's parent's fault for letting him see it.

    the fact that the kid saw it is incidental, my comment was purely about the level of people involved.
    She just looks like a miserable probably not very funny washed up comedian grasping at a last chance for a bit of attention. It wasn't funny and it had all the art skills of a 10 year old photoshopper

    So do you think an 11 year old kid was never going to see it? you know with the internet & everything
