Jennifer Garner killing humans with "spark of divinity" setting off some left wing loons...

[2aguy]

So...in her new movie "Peppermint" Jennifer Garner plays a woman whose family is murdered by a Mexican group who have the spark of Divinity, as Nancy Pelosi states....

The group with this spark of divinity guns down the movie family and Jennifer Garner goes for revenge...not realizing that the group with the "spark of divinity" is now a protected and much loved group of the democrat party....

For regular Americans......a Mexican drug cartel murders the movie family of Jennifer Garner so she kills them.....now that the Democrats have decided that Mexican drug cartel members are good guys, some left wingers are having a problem with this....

'Peppermint' & Comparing Immigrants to Gang Members | National Review

At some point, someone needs to publish the complete list of acceptable movie villains. Yes, we know the easy answers. An action star will never go wrong blasting through Russian mobsters, Nazis, or white supremacists. In the sci-fi world, you can always blast aliens — especially if they’re designed to look or act like Russian mobsters, Nazis, or white supremacists. And let’s not forget the Italian Mafia. You can gun down the goodfellas with impunity. But beyond that? Tread lightly, filmmakers.

The problem is the target. Here’s Castillo:

What makes “Peppermint” gross isn’t its revenge redemption arc but the racist undertones of its heroine’s actions. Riley is a white woman who takes justice into her own hands, killing a lot of Latino characters in the process. We’re supposed to assume they’re all bad and so her actions are justified.

What? Keep in mind that she hasn’t seen the movie. Also keep in mind that drug cartels are very real and very evil. Here’s more:

After watching the trailer, I was convinced this movie bought into the political rhetoric that conflates gang members with law-abiding immigrants.

Again, what? Normal people can watch that trailer and know that the villains are nothing like the Hispanic immigrants with whom they interact on a daily basis. I’ve worked alongside immigrants, served with immigrants in the Army, and encountered immigrants in virtually all aspects of daily life, and I’ve never even seen a person who looks like the villains in the trailer.

As long as she doesn't do a lot of empty hand fighting....this might be entertaining.......

I just finished watching the Netflix series called "Narcos" about the Columbian drug cartels.

Much like MS-13, they also believed in Nancy Pelosi's notion of "divinity", as they sent thousands of their fellow Columbian citizens to heaven by murder, bombings and assassination. ...

.now that the Democrats have decided that Mexican drug cartel members are good guys,

I don't know any Democrats who believe that.

But I do seem to know Republicans who want this country run by Vladimir Putin.

now that the Democrats have decided that Mexican drug cartel members are good guys,

Thank you for admitting that. ....

Maybe there is still hope for you yet. ...
