“You can put Trump in the White House, but you need to prepare for a revolt because I’m going nuts,” says Henry, as he waits for his English breakfast – a deconstructed version including black pudding – to arrive. “It’s going to be Escape From New York in here and you might as well call me Kurt Russell because I’m going to be f****** people up. It’s going to be Mad Max.”

From the coldly seething anger to the apocalyptic references, Henry’s takedown of the Republican presidential candidate and his possibly cataclysmic consequences could come straight from the script of Atlanta. It has been the most popular of FX’s offerings this autumn and one of the most critically lauded of the TV fall debutants. It’s been called genre defying, earned comparisons to fellow FX show Louie and The Wire, and was dubbed “

Lock and load, gentlemen. We will not start a fight, but if one is brought to us, we’ll finish it.

He can eat a peach!

I’ll toss him a hack saw ...

If this big goon goes nuts somebody is just going to put a bullet in his dumb ass, especially in Georgia.

Bring it on.

[WMarshal]

These poor idiots have never seen a white riot and the better pray they don’t. When we start we finish.

Mr. Henry *might* go all "Mad Max" (which is, at the end of the day, a fantasy), but rest assured that in the event he does, other affected parties are more than likely going to go "all tactical" (which is a reality), on *him*.

In that event, I don't give him good odds of survival...

“... prepare for a revolt because I’m going nuts...”

Go right ahead. You won’t be difficult at all.

[W.]

Heh, heh!

Bloodbag, now with extra splatter!

Or, just plain ol' douchebag...special snowflakes probably don't like being called plain.

When white people riot - millions die -

[FreedomPoster]

Wait - so I need to watch out for a black version of the Pillsbury doughboy with Mad Max delusions?

These fools really don’t get it about us crackers out here in flyover country, do they?

See idiot running amok, apply Rule 308, done.

“I’m going to be f****** people up”

This guy ain’t going to be f-ing anybody up, lol. Ooooh. Big tough actor guy, I’d be quaking in my boots.

[MoochPooch]

Imagine the media reaction if anyone said the same thing were Hillary to be elected.

I would put some credence into what this guy says. If Trump gets elected, there will probably be riots, both from the underclass & from the counterculture types. Since I live in a mixed area I will be afraid of getting home.

However, if (God forbid!) Hillary gets elected, I'll feel a more subtle kind of fear. It's like a whole spiritual pollution -- releasing from Hell all the demons & reducing this nation to irredeemable decadence.

The Duke of New York will shut him down. NO ONE crosses The Duke. You meet The Duke once and then you're dead...

Get a CCW permit. Train. Learn how to use a blade (actually some decent stuff on YouTube now, but you have to PRACTICE). Don’t live in fear.

Or be an old guy like me who has lived more, loved more, (redacted) more, and seen more than this punk could ever imagine, so death holds no particular fear for me, let alone any punk.

PS I do love life. Just not willing to live it in fear.
