World is Falling Apart Thread (Locked forever)

I have to wonder what would make an "entertainer" think the current media climate is approachable to such a concept as literally decapitating the POTUS.

It's Kathy Griffin. I'm pretty sure she's never had a good read on what was appropriate and when.

I laughed pretty hard.

Would you have laughed if a "comedian" had held Obama's bloodied severed head up during his presidency?

No hair to grab onto.

[Ack]

First I've heard of this. I looked at the pic, and my first thought was "That is a huge Vienna sausage."

I literally laughed out loud.

So nobody wants to talk about this?

Be sure that it's a horrible pic and Kathy deserves to be lambasted and shunned. It wasn't a "step too far," it was a pathetic cry for help and imitates the worst of the opposite side.

Speaking of which, when this came out, what did you say about it?

[Xeogred]

This isn't about sides. What she did was absolutely stupid and preposterous. Along with that pic above with the burning. Both should be a criminal offense.

Depends on the motive but yes, I agree. I've been seeing way too many Republicans get utterly offended when they were mute or encouraging of similar things done to Obama. Remember when Trump invited Ted Nugent to the White House even though Nugent called for Obama's assassination?

Vile and disgusting indeed. At least Kathy has apologized (sincere or not, I do not know).

I know it's also too late, that the far left is already heading down that way. Thankfully the mainstream left universally rebuked the stunt.

Both should be a criminal offense.

I disagree 100%. Both are deplorable and both are free expression that is enshrined in the Constitution. You are still legally allowed to be an asshole; combatting that should come through social pressure, not legal pressure.

People who do so are investigated to determine if they are a valid threat, even Kathy Griffith is not devoid from such scrutiny. She paid with her job and a harsh mark on her career. The same should be the case for any person.
