For the suggestion that it was time for an actor to assassinate an American President once again, Johnny Depp should have been hauled off and clapped in irons. He opened his gig last week at Glastonbury, England, with this thought and was roundly applauded by a star-struck, dope-smoking band of groupies.
But, of course, Depp is an actor and therefore it was all part of the show.
Not so fast:
Listen to the words of one of his devotees who was part of the Glastonbury Adoration.
"He's an amazing actor and I have loved him since I was eleven years old. I don't even know what to say. I'm going to die" said Jessica Gallagher. "He reached out and TOUCHED MY HAND and I don't know what to do. I can't cope."
Do they sound like the words of a calm, reasoned person or are they the expressions of someone unhinged by a plethora of uncontrollable emotions?
Let me suggest if there are people who can't cope and are on the point of swooning because Depp touched their hand, is it not possible that they would take him seriously when he suggests that President Trump should be assassinated?
For such statements Depp should be immediately arrested. He won't be because the President was Trump. Had it been Obama who was threatened Depp would be behind bars tonight.
All depends who you are talking about, right?
Jubilate.
