And this is not to denigrate in any way the real Lurch.

***snip*** After suggesting that a civil war would be the only way to prevent Trump from assuming the highest office in the land, Shannon asserts that if you feel okay about supporting his presidency, it’s probably time for you to just die already. “There’s a lot of old people who need to realize they’ve had a nice life, and it’s time for them to move on,” Shannon said. “Because they’re the ones who go out and vote for these assholes. If you look at the young people, between 18 and 25, if it was up to them, Hillary would have been president. No offense to the seniors out there. My mom’s a senior citizen. But if you’re voting for Trump, it’s time for the urn.” And if your parents voted for Trump? “**** ’em. You’re an orphan now. Don’t go home. Don’t go home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Don’t talk to them at all. Silence speaks volumes.” Despite being from the red state of Kentucky, Shannon says that no one in his immediate family “would ever remotely consider voting for Trump.” So, it sounds like no one around his holiday hearth will have to sit frozen in terror as he stares them down with his severely threatening gaze.
Hate Speech?
1984 was meant to be a warning, not a ‘how to’ guide for the Left.
Hey, Michael Shannon. Forget for a moment that I’ve never heard of you, and think instead about this: I am 65, which makes me a senior. I voted for Trump. Now, come get me, tough guy!
Michael Shannon is self-destructive. He will kill himself someday.
This is precisely what terrifies me, the underlying problem.
We’re headed for Lord of the Flies.
Well, now we know where we stand, don’ t we?
This kind of inflammatory rhetoric is dangerous. The press should use more discretion in publishing it.
I’m sure the investors in his latest movie Nocturnal Animals are thrilled with his comments just as the film hits the streets.
Now that's funny I don't care who you are.
I think it’s time for the federal government to impose a movie and theater ticket tax to help support children’s programs.
Maybe $2 a ticket for a movie ticket, and $20 for a theater ticket. It’s a good start, and it’s for the children.
And this is not to denigrate in any way the real Lurch.
Glock 19. The best handgun ever. I’m a Glock fan, but the 19 just nails it across the board. A truly superb firearm.
What will he say when HE is one of the “old” ones?
Well, actually, secession is not necessary for a civil war. In fact, most civil wars in history did not involve a secession.
So, if I offer, $10,000 cash, for his nose, that's fine & dandy.
Ten grand, to the person (I'm looking at you crackheads) that brings me this commie b@stard's nose is just serving the public interest, I guess.
So he turns off half his viewing audience?
Michael Shannon isn’t going anywhere anytime soon.
Most countries are not set up like the USA which is a secession waiting to happen.
This is a little off topic, but Shannon’s puerile, inane remarks make me think of a documentary I watched some years back on TCM. It discussed the generation of actors who served in World War II and Korea and how being in the military very much influenced their work. You can think of names like Eddie Albert, James Stewart, James Garner, and many others from that era and know the timelessness of the movies and TV programs that they made, regardless if they were Republicans (Stewart) or Democrats (Garner).

Agree, but I own a Colt 1911 just to be sure :)
Who?
A drunk driving illegal alien driving 90 miles an hour can crash into this fool for all I care.
Most people in America are not required to register guns.
