Craig Gore, a writer whose credits include “S.W.A.T.” and “Chicago P.D.,” has been fired from Dick Wolf’s upcoming “Law & Order” spinoff series after controversial Facebook posts about looters and the recent curfew put in place across Los Angeles.
“I will not tolerate this conduct, especially during our hour of national grief. I am terminating Craig Gore immediately,” Dick Wolf said in a statement to Variety.
Photos on social media show Gore holding a weapon with the caption “Curfew…” In another comment, Gore threatened to “light motherf—ers up who are trying to f— with my property,” in reference to protests that took place in Los Angeles on Monday.
Gore’s posts, which incited a strong reaction on social media, come amid calls for criminal justice reform after George Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minnesota. His posts gained traction on social media after Drew Janda, who worked on the OWN series “Greenleaf” and HBO shows “Big Little Lies” and “Barry,” brought attention to Gore’s remarks.
Variety has also learned from sources that Paradigm, which represented Gore, has now cut ties with the writer and producer.
“Craig Gore is no longer a Paradigm client. We condemn his post in the strongest possible terms,” said a spokesperson for the agency.

Defending your homes from thugs = bad.
Supporting ANTIFA and BLM thugs: good.
What a dick....
seriously. i like his shows but not that much.
You wanna post on Facebook or Twitter? Well, go right ahead. But limit your posts to cake recipes and funny pictures of cats. Anything else just might get you into trouble.
But if he’d said, “burn it down, baby!”, what? Let me guess...
Even though I haven’t watched one of his shows in at least 15 years, his political social virtue signalling behavior still very important to me.
Karma would be Dick Wolf’s house getting looted.
Good point. One of the former SVU actresses (Diane Neal) got blacklisted for trashing her bosses on social media.
I’m glad I cut the cable cord. It guarantees I never watch one of his programs.
I know this one guy who has a fake facebook account so he can go to liberal doosh sites and really piss them off yet doesn’t have to worry about getting his house torched.
Yup—to thugs, all loot looks alike—equal opportunity criminals.
Wow, how is Dick Wolfe going to find someone else that can write cookie cutter plots around a ‘ripped from the headlines’ issue?
A friend of mine works for the state government in a liberal state. It’s a non-union job, so there is no union protection. He is an avid hunter, and often posts pictures of his many rifles on Facebook. I’m just waiting for him to be fired for being “a dangerous gun nut”.
I’ve mention that possibility to him. But the gun posts come on coming. Oh, well. It’s up to him. But I don’t see where it’s worth the risk, particularly since his family depends on his paycheck. (Sad that the country has come to this.)
and often posts pictures of his many rifles on Facebook.
= = =
He’d be safer posting pictures of naked little boys.
But Freepers will keep right on watching Dick Wolf’s shows.
All of these celebrities live in Malibu, NOT in Hollywood, not in Beverly Hills so the odds of any of these thugs coming to their cities is slim to none..they are protected with armed guards and big gates surrounding their property
I did not know that I always wondered why they booted Casey Novak off the show
Once ‘Lenny’ died, the show lost its way.
She apparently did it on two separate shows (SVU and one of the NCIS shows), got fired from both and was then blacklisted.
