Just to get a few things straight...

It is common sense that charging a police officer will get you shot.

Michael Brown was not a helpless victim. He attacked Darren Wilson, and that will also get you shot.

There is absolutely no evidence that Darren Wilson is racist. If you say it was racist because he was a white man shooting a black man (and he was a man, not a little baby boy), then you are a moron. I don't care who you are; if you attack me and then charge me, I will shoot your ass until you stop coming at me. Defending yourself and valuing your own life enough to defend it like any normal person would do is not wrong, whether you're a cop or a normal citizen.

Destroying businesses and rioting is never okay. Ever. Destroying people's livelihood just makes you an asshole, a vandal, and a criminal.

Darren Wilson did not have money raised for him by the KKK. The Imperial Wizard (no, seriously) of the Traditionalist American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, Frank Ancona, denounced it himself.

The eyewitness accounts of the shooting of Michael Brown were inconsistent, and some people later admitted to not having actually seen the shooting, or whether or not Michael Brown had his hands up when he came toward Officer Wilson.

An entire town has been half-burned to the ground in the name of protesting police brutality. By being brutal against police. Two wrongs do NOT make a right. We should not strive to be a revenge-driven nation.

Racism is wrong on all levels, whether it's white-on-black, black-on-white, hispanic-on-asian, or whatever. Any combination you can think of is still racism. Stop making it a black-only issue. Stop cherry-picking your shootings.

I'm tired of all the tweets saying that it is a race issue because of the races of the people involved. Darren Wilson wasn't out looking for a black target because he was a white man. White people aren't born with this little chip in their brain that makes them hate black people. Michael Brown was not out looking for a white person to assault that day. He wasn't born hating white people. The difference is, he WAS out that day looking to commit a crime (robbing a convenience store, where he could have legally bought cigars, as he was of legal age), and when he was in danger of being apprehended for that crime, he chose to react violently. He made an incredibly stupid decision that got him killed. He did everything an unarmed person could to get shot (he didn't want to be shot, I'm just saying that if you made a checklist of all the things you could do wrong in that situation, he checked them all off).

I guess that's all I have to say on the subject. All that I can think of, anyway.

Retiring Hiddlestoned Productions

After several months and a great deal of thought, I've decided to close Hiddlestoned Productions, my YouTube MEP group. We've been on hiatus for awhile, and much has happened since then.

My father developed cancer 3 years ago, and it has since come back even stronger in March of this year. The diagnosis hit all of us in the family pretty hard, and I found myself very busy taking care of my dad and working a full-time job at the same time. Spending time with my family as much as I can has become extremely important to me, and though my father's cancer has shrunk 80%, the chances of it going into remission are slim.

I have been very privileged to work with the editors that I have, and I feel I'm doing them a disservice by closing this MEP group, but I just can't do it anymore. I'm being pulled in too many directions at this time in my life, and it's wearing me thin. I want to thank everyone that has supported this group, and I want to especially thank our members and the Project Wendy crew for making such amazing opportunities possible. I feel that though our time as a group was short, even so, we did incredible things. We created art. We did something unique. We worked our butts off to do it.

I will still be running the @HiddlestonPro account, though now it will be more of an occasional news source/commentary on Tom and his career, rather than a source of info about our MEP group.

Thank you all. It's been an awesome journey.

I was watching the oscars and saw Ben C do that wave of his and so naturally I couldn’t leave it alone

I remember as a young actor being treated contemptuously by people I hoped would be great. And I thought, You’ve got this amazing life, you’ve probably got everything you want, why are you behaving like a cock? I knew that if I ever found myself in that position, I’d remember to treat people with equanimity and kindness.

Biblical laws as in God's laws, or humankind's laws throughout Biblical history? Because not every law or rule in the Bible is from God. Some of it is an account of history, such as Moses' written bill of divorce that the Hebrews demanded. It was never endorsed by God.

Maybe before making such a generalizing statement, you could actually READ the Bible and STUDY it.

This needs to happen.

Why am I conservative and still laughing so hard at this?

WHOA THERE, SATAN.

I sometimes have this sinister urge to misquote Shakespeare around Tom Hiddleston to see if his politeness has a breaking point.
