Adriana Cohen: Liberal loon Johnny Depp went too far – Boston Herald

Johnny Depp is an unpatriotic loser who apparently has no respect for human life, public safety or even our democracy.

He should also be arrested for inciting violence against our president.

He made headlines on Thursday at a festival in the U.K. telling the 1,500-strong audience in Glastonbury, I think he (Trump) needs help and there are a lot of wonderful dark, dark places he could go. ... When was the last time an actor assassinated a president?

He then added, I want to clarify, Im not an actor. I lie for a living. However, its been a while, and maybe its time.

Time for what Mr. Depp? To toy with the idea of assassinating the president of the United States? Are you channeling the ghost of John Wilkes Booth the actor who killed President Lincoln just for a sick joke?

Its a criminal concept only a madman or jihadist would approve.

Depps reckless comments have no place in a civilized society. Especially in todays extremely volatile political climate where just last week a Bernie Sanders supporter showed up at a GOP charity baseball practice in Alexandria, Va., and shot Majority Whip Steve Scalise who in case Johnny Depp has callously forgotten is still recovering in the hospital.

If it werent for the fact that Scalise had armed security in tow, many more GOP lawmakers could have been cut down that day, including Texas Rep. Joe Bartons 10-year-old son in attendance that morning.

Depp who offered up a meek apology yesterday should face legal consequences. Free speech doesnt allow us to scream fire in a crowded movie theater as a joke. Nor is it a laughing matter to talk about assassinating anybody.

Its no secret Hollywood is filled with liberal loons. But whats troubling is to see political extremism take over La La Land.

Kathy Griffins career is in the toilet after she posed holding a bloody mask of Trumps decapitated head. But thats just an extreme example. Depp is more mainstream with his hate and thats scary.

What Depp forgets is we have elections where voters choose the winners. If he doesnt like the outcome, try running for office.

Extremists dont deserve our money or accolades. What they do deserve is a jail cell to contemplate their reckless rhetoric that undoubtedly could instigate more blood on our streets and baseball fields.

Not a scenario anyone should ever support I dont care how you vote.
