Come, the croaking raven doth bellow for revenge.
--Hamlet (3.2.260)
Alas, the blowhard who last year assaulted that line's author--"many aspects of Shakespeare's work ... just aren't that awesome"--should now experience its ageless awesomeness, for the head of said blowhard, CNN "contributor" Marc Lamont Hill, should go on the network's rather active chopping block:
[Christopher Dorner has] been like a real life superhero to many people [said Hill on CNN]. Now don't get me wrong, what he did is awful, killing innocent people is bad.... Many people aren't rooting for him to kill innocent people, they're rooting for somebody who was wronged to get a kind of revenge against the system. It's almost like watching Django Unchained in real life, it's kind of exciting.
Yes, Marc, killing innocent people is bad ... that's very perceptive ... but no, Marc, what recently passed wasn't "kind of exciting"; it was, rather, emotionally devastating to the families affected.
What a tool. Try living in one of the cities where he attempted the murder of an innocent person, in the neighborhood where your child works then get back to me on what's so exciting about it. Dorner was not a good guy. He wasn't a freed slave, he was someone who didn't cut it in the military or the police force and was probably at one time thought of as "a good guy with a gun" to borrow from the detestable Wayne LaPierre. And he probably thought he was a good guy right up until the end. So no, this is not a movie, it's real and not much fun.
