So you're saying Jack Black isn't wishing Trump had lived, but rather that he's a spineless coward who refuses to stand against fascism. Damn, I'll try not to be like him.

You go say "assassinate people on stage if you don't like them" to a crowd with more guns than people and where shootings are already a daily occurrence.

I'd not only be worried for me and my friend but for the people just standing in my audience as well. Remember the time some dude killed a lot of concert goers in Las Vegas i think from his hotel window? That's a lot more than just risking your own live by saying that.
