The Cookout

[sourgrapes]

I am sure most of you heard by now, Alec shot off a live gun on set, injuring one and killing the other. This man is notorious for being anti-gun and is basically an establishment sellout who will whistle whatever tune the fat cats at the top want him to. The fact that someone who HATES guns was messing around with a gun on set makes me wonder a lot here. Like, did he not bother getting any kind of training? I am guessing not. This guy sums it up pretty well:

Now I am thinking, are they going to use this accident to spin it against gun owners? Like, use this as yet another reason to try and take away our gun rights? I feel like that kind of narrative is coming.

First off, Colion Noir is a coon tether who is solidly in the NRA's pocket.
As far as the Baldwin accident, it won't affect our gun rights any more than Brandon Lee's or Jon Erik Hexum's on-set shootings.

Please stop buying into the "they're gonna take our guns" bull

Too much money is made off of them in the first place for that to be even considered realistically.

Also, the victim being forgotten in this and being all about Baldwin is the bigger problem in my opinion.

I think they'll try to start something but it won't gain any traction. Which is usually how it goes lol

I’m with @Rollie Forbes this will have minimal impact on a national level for the average person but it’ll definitely impact firearms on movie sets. The Federal Government knows there is going to be a huge fight if they try to take away our firearms, they will do it in a very slick way that no one will notice until it’s already done.

They won't do anything, he's a white man who killed someone on accident. (if he were any black actor, he'd be facing charges and his career would be over) White ameriKKKa watched a white boy shoot up a school full of children in parkland, cold blooded murder and not one real gun law was passed, and there's been hundreds of school shootings since.
White in AmeriKKKa makes you almost untouchable. white supremist stay on code, no matter what.

Why is there a real gun on set in the first place?

Either there is a working bolt housing unit or not. There is no other answer.

Blanks, and projectiles are not good excuses.

Last but not least 4:20 made my blood boil. So, what if the person in charge of safety is a GIRL?

coon tether

I will be real with you here, I never heard of this term. Can you explain what it means?

I know nothing about the dude. I watch random videos people share with me. I don't have the time to do background checks on these randoms online. lol

"Coon tether" is a combination of two terms: "coon" and "tether".
A coon is a Black person who works against the interests of Black people and is love nothing more than to tap dance for white approval. See: Larry Elder, The Hodge Twins, Herschel Walker, and Jesse Lee Peterson.
A tether is usually a first generation Black American (or European) who is able to approximate, imitate, and infiltrate Black American culture while harboring and espousing anti-Black ideals. See: Colion Noir (Nigerian), Candace Owens (Caribbean), and Cynthia Erivo (Nigerian).

I was familiar with coon but never heard that phrase before. Are you familiar with the Boondocks anime? This all reminds me of Tom. I am familiar with a few of those names and they are legit Toms. Which there is irony in the show to his name (he's an Uncle Tom for the white man). I wouldn't put it past a few of these names though to be straight Uncle Ruckus'!

I loved the Boondocks! I used to read it in The Washington Post before it became a tv show, and I have a couple of the coffee table books.
I can definitely see the character correlation!
