Jack Black has said he’s cancelled the rest of the Tenacious D world tour after his bandmate Kyle Gass sparked an outcry with a comment about the assassination attempt on Donald Trump.
The comedy rock group were on stage in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday when Gass was asked to make a wish after being presented with a cake for his 64th birthday.
He appeared to reply: “Don’t miss Trump next time.”
Gass also split with his agent following the incident.
I don’t let my kids get away with “He did it first!”
We want change? We want to see more rational and measured speech in the public forum? We want good to win over evil?
Then sure, we fight evil. But we keep our character. If we don’t, then what’s the difference if they win or we do?
I do not condemn people who celebrate murderers and rapists getting the death penalty. And I even feel the same way myself, although I don’t support the death penalty.
I refuse to condemn people who want him gone, even though I don’t want a system that allows it.
“Hitler should have lived to be defeated with words!”
I don’t want a system that allows political violence. However, I would not have been upset if they were successful in this case.
Exactly.
Trump has promoted enough violence and the Republicans have put up enough barriers to holding him accountable that we are on the precipice of a fascist toyalitarian regime. Since SCOTUS has made putting him in jail impossible for the forseeable future, his death is the second best option and I am disappointed that someone from his own side failed.
We fight evil. But not with death camps. We don’t use their methods.
Is that so hard to understand?
It isn’t hard since I am only supporting violence as a defense to violence. The leap to death camps doesn’t fit in there anywhere.
Try to keep up.
Political violence.
A whole different ball of wax.
Hey I won’t be continuing this back and forth with you because I’m pretty sure you’re not the type who will ever agree with me. So have a nice day.

Oh, then I guess nobody should defend themselves against violence if it would be seen as pOlItIcAl
this comment needs to be higher. it’s amazing how little self-awareness people have when they show astonishment that only Trump can act like Trump.
well, duh, that’s why he’s a dickhead. wishing him harm only makes one another bird of the same feather.
Wishing harm on someone who causes other people greater harm for causing that harm doesn’t make you the same at all.

Can I wish, like Douglas Adams said of the second-worst poet in the universe:
Right??
They go low, we go high!!! (and then we die)
