In an article on the Huffington Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n Harvey Weinstein said Hollywood filmmakers “can\u2019t shirk our responsibility” for depicting violence in popular movies, while insisting that the real lesson of last week\u2019s shootings in Aurora, Colorado, is the need for U.S. politicians to take a stand and regulate access to firearms.<\/p>\n “If we don\u2019t get gun-control laws in this country, we are full of beans,” the Oscar-winning producer told The Huffington Post by phone from Paris. “To have the National Rifle Association rule the United States of America is pathetic. And I agree with Mayor Michael Bloomberg: it\u2019s time to put up or shut up about gun control for both parties. Mitt Romney better outline where he stands, and people know that I\u2019m a firm supporter of the president and I believe he\u2019s got to do the same.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Weinstein is a typical member of the Hollywood Progressive Elite. A complete idiot untouched by common sense. Of course, Obama has hemmed and hawwed over calls to ban guns. So what did Weinstein do?<\/p>\n Weinstein, who is set co-host a fundraiser for Barack Obama in Greenwich, CT, on August 6, declined to criticize the president directly for shying away from a fight over gun control. “I don\u2019t think he\u2019s timid,” he said. “I think he\u2019s got deep personal beliefs. I don\u2019t have to agree with everything a candidate does to support him.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n In other words, \u201cOur primary goal is getting the SCoaMF back into office so he can finish destroying the United States. Once that\u2019s done we can all be friends and smell the Unicorn farts from UN bureaucrats who, in their benevolent wisdom, will guide us to Utopia.\u201d<\/p>\n So what does he do? He\u2019s just said he will do anything to protect Der Fubar, so he has to move on to the next thing to blame. Violence in movies.<\/p>\n “It\u2019s a question that I wrestle with all the time,” said Weinstein, who has produced all of director Quentin Tarantino\u2019s blood-spattered films, including the upcoming slave-era revenge fantasy “Django Unchained.” “I\u2019ve been involved with violent movies, and then I\u2019ve also said at a certain point, \u2018I can\u2019t take it anymore. Please cut it.\u2019 You know, you\u2019ve got to respect the filmmaker, and it\u2019s a really tough issue. My heart goes out to those kids and those families.”<\/p>\n Weinstein said he hoped that members of the Hollywood community would take this opportunity to have an honest conversation about how on-screen violence influences real-world events. “I think, as filmmakers, we should sit down \u2013 the Marty Scorseses, the Quentin Tarantinos, and hopefully all of us who deal in violence in movies \u2013 and discuss our role in that.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n No, actually, we don\u2019t. If you don\u2019t like producing movies that are violent, then don\u2019t! You can make all those wonderful artsy fartsy movies that no one outside of your small circle of useless idiots will waste $8 on. Then, like all such ventures, you\u2019ll go broke and those movies that no one wants to see, won\u2019t be made.<\/p>\n Weinstein is a typical member of the Hollywood loony bin. He has no idea how the rest of the world works and is certain that if violent movies aren\u2019t made, then there won\u2019t be any violence. I have news for you Harvey. Most of the Taliban have never seen a movie. Those barbarians don\u2019t even know what toilet paper is.<\/p>\n In the case of the Aurora murderer, he was bonkers. Having firearms was handy for him but not required. Just look at what the police had to deal with in his apartment. Enough explosives and incendiaries to level the building. Considering the time of night, the odds are a lot more people would have died there than in the theater. If the orange haired whackjob didn\u2019t have guns, he probably would have used his bombs, or even have made some sort of poison gas weapons. He was studying to be a doctor numb-nuts, so he understood chemistry. Whipping up a batch of cyanide, mustard or even sarin gas ((Sarin Nerve gas<\/a>)) would probably just been a logistics problem for him, nothing else.<\/p>\n No, the only one responsible for this crime is the murderer. Not the movie, not the guns, not even the booby traps he left behind. Just him. The only other possibly thing that may be somewhat responsible is the owners of the theater chain. They are the ones who decreed all their theaters to be Target Rich Environments<\/em><\/span> Gun Free zones and didn\u2019t provide the security to prevent this, or any other nut job from gaining entrance and shooting the place up. We may never know if anyone in that audience was licensed to carry but followed the rules. All I know is, every other time something like this happened and someone had a gun, the bad guy was stopped dead. Usually literally.<\/p>\n Hey Harvey? Why don\u2019t you just stick to making mediocre movies and leave the rest of us alone? No one is going to pay any attention to you. Other than insulting you and spreading the word on your idiocy, I sure won\u2019t be.<\/p>\n Thatisall<\/p>\n ~The Angry Webmaster~<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Everyone and everything but the murderer who committed the crime. After all, he couldn\u2019t help himself. It was the guns\/violent movies\/early potty training\/bed wetting\/his teachers etc. Continue reading ![\"Barking](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/barking_moonbat3.jpg?resize=250%2C244\" "\\"barking")
