The Fall Of Quentin Tarantino

[Seraph]

Famed director Quentin Tarantino has been in the news recently for attending a anti-police rally held by a hate group in New York only days after an off duty NYPD officer was brutally murdered. Tarantino went on record calling our police officers murders and worse.  

That was the beginning of the end.  I thought to myself...wow what a flaming **** bag...he just drove his career off a cliff. It couldn't get worse.  He'd end up apologizing a few days later and retire in shame as he should. As Mel Gibson many others did. 

Soon sure enough over a thousand police organizations condemned him and his hate speech.  They started a boycott of his latest movie the Hateful Eight due to theaters near Christmas. Americans were truly pissed off in large numbers.

I thought to myself...its coming soon.  He will apologize. His producer Weinstein (a very famous producer) was said to be very upset and even his own Father came out and condemned him on live TV.  After Seth Rogan's recent defeat you would think Quentin would get the memo.

Only two weeks  before Seth Rogan had tweeted some very profane and somewhat racist remarks to beloved presidential candidate Ben Carson.  That caused a boycott which caused his movie to flop so badly that it hasn't even broken even yet and probably won't.

Quentin Tarantino came out today with more hate and accusing America of bullying him.  What a troll he is. Hint he won't back down and he won't apologize. 

I've now realized that he did not drive his career off the cliff.  He rolled his career down the cliff, parked it in pieces, threw some gas on it, and burned it to ashes.  Who would work for such a person much less associate with them? Talk about a career killer.

So im just watching it play out now.  I've never seen career suicide before and it just gets worse.  


Your thoughts??

It's sad you can't speak your mind and not have your job torn to shreds. Oh well, I'm sure sooner or later he will just fade away out of public interest.

Theres a fine line between speaking your mind and hate speech though. Sometimes actions have consequences.  The only one who tore his job to shreds was himself.  While the first amendment protects your right to say something it conversely does not excuse you of the results of what you said, the perception of what you said., or protect you from the fallout from it.  What he said was not only wrong but blatantly hypocritical.

Seraph's right, Demon....you have a right to speak your mind under the 1st Amendment and you can say whatever you want. OTOH, everyone else also has the right to speak their mind and call one out on what they say.
