And the FBI was assigned to follow the film team on reports of a “vaguely middle-eastern man with a bear in an ice-crem truck”, which has to be the funniest report xD

Do you think the people joking about things as he does, want more anti-semitism? Do you think he is responsible because they expressed their actual feelings, whereas he was doing it for comedy? Their feelings existed whether he drew it out or not.
Well, if an undercover cops manages to instigate you to do something illegal, the underlying desire to do it must have already been there, otherwise you’d just tell him to fuck off. But entrapment is still illegal because if he hadn’t provided you with a chance to do it, you may not have followed through after all.
What you seem to be saying is “entrapment is fine as long as it’s done to people I hate”.
Idk, I think it’s very different since that was many years ago and he did it for a joke in a movie.
That wasn’t a serious attempt to arrest someone or whatever.
I don’t think it’s anywhere close to entrapment.
It might be argued that the joke was bad or something, but it wasn’t entrapment or his fault that antisemitism is ramping up.
Well I’m not arguing that what he did should be illegal, just that I consider it bad taste.
It’s like if I went and did a standup routine consisting of Holocaust jokes and then a couple of years later complained about a rise in antisemitism.
If he was serious, he should at least publicly acknowledge that he DID contribute to the issue and formally distance himself from his old work. Otherwise, it just seems rather disingenuous.
No, it’s just you.
Ah, okay. Great argument, I’m totally convinced now. /s
I have responded enough already, you don’t want to be convinced and you are entrenched in your views that a Jewish guy is anti-semitic, and, as a comedian, needs to repent for poking fun at racists in the way that he did and nothing else could possibly be correct.
“If he was serious” about what? It’s of no interest to pick holes in your already Leedammer-esque ‘arguments’.
