Queue the snowflakes....

People flipping out on twitter as usual, only reading the headline and not reading the bit where he explains he now realises how wrong he was.

James Brown

I don't think so. He told the story and spoke about his realisation it was madness. He admitted to wanting to kill a black man because a black man raped his friend. Could have been an asian or a honkey.

You seem to be a bit sensitive about that.

He's a brave man admitting that in this day and age:D

I know people will rush to condemn him but look at the context, he was talking about he felt at that time, in the moment of learning what had happened to his loved one. It's an understandable reaction to a violent assault.

I'd presume he doesn't feel that way now but the permanently outraged won't let that stop them vilifying him.

If it was a white man would he look to punch any white man too?

Not sure why he even admits to it, we all have moments of stupidity but his logic was particularly flawed.

No it's not

It strikes me as an extremely bizarre interview but I don't think he's been the same man since he lost his wife.

backspin.

He is 66 I see and retiring now I'd say... whether he wants to or not.

Yes, so he says. He didn't punch anyone. He was waiting on someone to start on him. No black man did, no fight.

Yeah this is what struck me. Suicide saying something like that.

I think he said what a lot of us would say at first if someone close to us was raped tbh .

That's until you think about it rationally and know you can't beat someone's head in .

freshpopcorn

I don't really care what he did in the past.
From what I know about him, He's always trying to guilt people tough about various issues.

Seems like thoughts are now crimes.

Id probably feel the same in that situation so id agree its an understandable reaction

I stand with Liam Neeson.

The ‘black person’ bit has clearly been highlighted by Sky to sensationalise it all. He asked his friend if she could identify the person and she mentioned something that stood out to her. I’m guessing she was white. If his attacked friend was black and her attacker was white, likely one of the first things she’d say too is mention his skin colour. It’s a broad identifier that you can point to.

As for the feelings of wanting vengeance, they are very human feelings if not the most admirable. Kinda like when the father of a victim of Larry Nassar lunged at him in court last year. It was a wrong action but a perfectly understandable one.

Then you have someone like Ice Cube earning a fortune from rapping about killing whites and Koreans, never expressing any regret and going on to star in family comedies.

The soyboys will be shocked that he didn't want to hunt down the rapist so he could hug him and give him flowers and forgiveness, but I get him.

If, say for example, a bunch of Syrian migrants raped someone I cared about, I'm sure I would be filled with overwhelming rage and hatred. Not saying it's ok but I'm human at the end of the day.

I applaud him for his honesty.

movie rubbish...? get the f8ck...Taken up there with the best films made.

In context the comment makes sense, considering that he is trying to make a point about the craziness of his thinking in those moments; he's not boasting about it.

But, he should have been wise to the fact that the qoute would surely be taken out of context.

The only thing wrong about that nessar incident is that he walked away unhurt

So brave

Another frivolous storm. Neeson reacted emotively to a heinous crime, and later condemned his thought process:

"It was horrible, horrible, when I think back, that I did that. And I've never admitted that, and I'm saying it to a journalist. God forbid. It's awful. But I did learn a lesson from it."
