Why are blacks fleeing Chicago? Crazy white liberals might be one reason.

Depp said actor. Are you alleging that Depp IS an actor?

In the middle of his tirade he said, and I paraphrase “I'm not an actor.....I'm a professional liar”. So that should answer your question.

Personally i’d love to hate his acting as much as I hate him. He can be quite good in the few things I've seen him in. Many of the leftoid actors I hate are lousy actors.

Wanting Shitago, where I was born, is like wanting Palestinians, both of which are like wanting an injection of live AIDS virus mixed with virulent cancer cells.

Edwardsville’s not far from the baseball shooter’s home of Belleville... wonder if they are part of the same socialist cell.

Probably because of his troubles with coworkers at Lowe’s.

And that his posts implied he may have been toying with the idea of trying to commit suicide by cop... he also told investigators he wanted to hurt himself and others...
His FB page said he studied criminal justice yet he was working at Lowes... could be he was deemed too mentally unstable to get a job in criminal justice and was bitter about it, questions law enforcement professionalism, immaturity, etc...
