Mrs_Danver, what's wrong in saying he once did something he's now ashamed of - because that's what he's saying?

I can't see anything wrong with what he has said. He was recounting the situation at the time and was honest and truthful about his vengeful feelings.

Fortunately, for him and the possible victim, his primal urge to kill just anyone didn't come to fruition.

I really hope he hasn't. It's a risky thing to say because it was so blindingly obvious that people would latch on to the first part of his account, the utterly shameful idea that he wanted to attack the first black person he saw, and miss the second bit, how ashamed he is of it already.

Peter Pedant

well when I was drinking ....
yeah canal street manchester

just going home 2 am after chucking out time
and met a fella wivva - - car jack on the street
and I said look we can take you to your car if you want ....

and he said no I am going after the doorman who has just chucked me out ....

and yes dear reader we managed to persuade him to go BACK to his car and drive home .... ( 1990)

Peter Pedant

as I get older and stupider ( people dont grow old and wise - see)
I am more silent in times of trouble
you know knives and police and fings

it makes life so much easier if witnesses say - he didnt say anything ..... ( you know you get let out quicker and so on)

[and the things people say to me ... you wouldnt believe it......]

Sounds like he did a poor job of recounting an example in his life of when he has sought revenge - something he should have kept to himself. When he asked "What colour?", presumably he was just trying to identify the culprit and therefore narrow down the search - I don't believe that bit was racist.

If what he says is true it wasn’t about race per sa but about vigilantism.

If the man who raped his friend (and I suspect it was someone closer as he goes on to say come home from work and asks how they are) was black you would ‘go after’ black men, if he had been Chinese , then go after chines man, if white go after white men. It has nothing to do with race other than the race of the rapist.

But why mention it now? Oh that’s right he has a similar themed film coming out.

Peter Pedant

hey you know the film starring Ben Kingsley as the spook and the torturer in Northern ireland - steak-knife or scappaticcci ?

imagine if scappaticci in real life gave and interview
"now in real life I never found a car battery gave a enough oomph when you are electrocuting someone ...."

it is all media hype innit ?

Peter Pedant

knne - how - ma ? baby

if he had been Chinese , then go after chines man,

erm when I offered to take a gurl to the bus stop in Hong Kong she said - you dont understand - chinese men dont attack women - it is quite safe to go around HK at midnight alone ......

yeah OK it might be different in belfast - they are all anim .......

Neeson grew up as a Catholic in a predominantly Protestant town where there was lots of violence and troubles in the past.
As he stated. It was some time ago.
Hatred to white Protestants as well.
NI was very troubled in those days (Thankfully a lot calmer now).
He was relating an old experience of his past IMO.
And one that he said he's Ashamed of.
Racism was high back in the 70's (I presume it may have been around this time)
A lot of us will remember certain programmes on TV from that era which would not be allowed today because of the racist remarks.
A lot of us probably laughed at such remarks.
We've evolved and I'm sure he has too with the way we look at racism.
Somebody mentioned a possible PR stunt. A VERY POOR ONE IF TRUE.

But I still believe that he was recalling a very angry moment in his life that he is 'Ashamed of'.

And I wonder how the media has put this story together also.
Maybe he started his interview with 'I'm going to tell you a part of my deep dark past that I'm deeply ashamed of'

But that wouldn't be the media to write anything verbatim.

Stir the S*** pot first and then leak little by little each day whilst selling their tabloids.

He told a story of his past that he is ashamed of.
That's how I see it.
