Former Hercules star Kevin Sorbo unleashed a Herculean rant on Facebook about the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, following the death of Michael Brown. “Ferguson riots have very little to do with the shooting of the young man,” Kevin begins, positing, “It is an excuse to be the losers these animals truly are.” Certainly cuts to the chase. The 55-year-old actor and oustpoken conservative, said the Ferguson unrest signifies “a tipping point to frustration built up over years of not trying.” Instead of working to improve their lot in life, Sorbo believes, the people protesting in the city are “blaming everyone else, The Man, for their failures.” Then he adds this barb: “Hopefully this is a reminder to African Americans (I always thought we just Americans. Oh, well.) that the President [they] voted in has only made things worse for them, not better.” Sorbo then shared on his Facebook page an article from the Jewish World Review about Ferguson, entitled, “Media Clueless About the Inner City.” This piece also opines that the death of Michael Brown is just the tip of the iceberg here, but lays the blame at the feet of the media as well as protestors. “Want the riots to end in Ferguson?” asks the author. “Ban the media who are nothing more than agitators promoting the circus environment and inciting outsiders to join in the frenzy.” “Don´t forget the media putting out the cop’s name , photo and home information. I hear he is forced to leave the community by this – victimized a second time!” “The media promotes chaos to boost pathetic ratings. We should shut them all off and watch clips on the internet only when republished under fair use by a conservative media watchdog.” What do you think of Sorbo’s comments – and those of the article whose views he clearly shares – on the events playing out in Ferguson?
