I found out about his passing from a Facebook post of a former Marine friend of mine. He said (and I did not know) that he was a gun guy and a supporter of our troops. He was on his way to a charity to help the hurricane victims in the Philippines when he died
But a sickening meme has appeared regarding his death. It is pretty much “screw him, he was just another Hollywood celebrity. What about (insert somebody or group here)?”
You know damnable well that I have no problems for those whose lifestyles are stupid and conductive to early passing to do so. But Paul Walker was not one of them but one of us.
And even if was not a part of our culture, he was trying to do the right thing when he died. A self centered Hollywood celebrate might just have called his accountant, have check issued and then have his PR person issue press release telling the world how much he cared for the little people.
So, those of you being all tactical hipster, stop being ricks.
thank you.
Ps: still on a tablet…hare it.
I didn’t know all that much about him, I tend to not follow any Hollywood gossip, period. Good to hear the truth come out, though. The world needs more men and women like him in positions of visibility.
He wasn’t much of an actor, but at the same time, that was what he did. Certainly I’ve seen the stories about him heading to the Philippines, but just the fact that he wasn’t constantly running his mouth about serious issues he knew nothing about, or making foolish claims to be as much of an expert on X subject as the characters he pretends to be. (Both behaviors deplorably rampant in Hollywood) , that makes me sad to see him go.
George Clooney, and Mark Ruffalo are better actors than he was, but those two are renown assholes, while he appears to be an upstanding guy.
Why would anybody be huffy about that?
I’d never even heard of him before he died. But apparently he was atypical for hollywood, and that makes his dying a loss in any book.
