Okay, i see the disconnect here.
From your point of view, this dude was wholly and absolutely deplorable walking hatred.
From my point of view, he was a white dude on a Wednesday falling into learned - typical - hatred patterns that people like me had to suffer for.
Thank God he didn't kill anyone.
Amended: Thank God he hasn't continued to exhibit those behaviors over the past decade. Whatever he was dealing with, he seems to be in place such that he can work with black folks, and realizes that going out at night hunting black men is not only dumb, but wrong.
Until he tweets Black Bastards, stalks more black folk, hugs Trump, or kills somebody, I can't condemn him for being a 66 year old white guy from the UK with repressed - and successfully suppressed racist anger back then. I'll enjoy Taken #26 with minimal issues.
The really, REALLY sad thing about this was that with so few black guys around (as regularly stated here), the likelihood that it wasn't even a black guy was pretty damn high. So yeah, I'm really glad that Liam didn't go full Punisher. I'm also glad that he realized that wasn't the way.
