Reacher Star Alan Ritchson Urges Americans to Fuel Anger over Donald Trump Until Bloodshed [WATCH]

Actor Alan Ritchson, the star of Amazon Prime Video’s Reacher, appeared to justify political violence during a podcast appearance in which he raged about President Donald Trump, Republicans, and abusive Catholic priests.

Ritchson made the comments on Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard, where he argued that people should stay angry enough at those targets for someone to be beaten bloody.

The actor said the idea traced back to his work with director Guy Ritchie on The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.

According to Ritchson, Ritchie told him he believed the world would be better if “everybody should wake up in a pool of their own teeth and blood.”

Ritchson said he initially disagreed with the comment. But he told Shepard that his opinion has since changed.

“Since that point in time,” Ritchson continued, “so many things have happened in my life where I’m like, ‘it would be much better if everybody woke up in a pool of their own teeth…”

Later in the interview, Shepard asked Ritchson about letting go of resentment connected to bad experiences in the entertainment industry.

Ritchson instead steered the conversation toward politics and the White House.

“Look at the politics that we deal with right now,” Ritchson said as Shepard laughed along.

“Like the White House is in ruins, a fucking UFC cage on the lawn. And like, you just do it! You f**king do it! And nobody says anything. And no consequences.”

Ritchson kept yelling as he attacked what he claimed was happening.

“Nobody asked, it wasn’t done legally. There’s no plan in place. Now you’re asking for money to create it, It’s like, WHAT ARE WE DOING?”

He then framed his resentment toward Trump as something he was unwilling to release.

“And there’s no consequences. And so, you, OK, so, like, I’m just supposed to let go of my resentment that this f**king guy is just raping the world that he lives in for whatever gain he personally can have, and I’m supposed to let that go. And then what?”

Ritchson continued with the same fury. “It f**king still exists. I don’t know, I not going to let him go. I f**king hate it. I hate that that shit still lives in the world, unabated, unchecked, unresolved, unclean.”

The actor then shifted to the Catholic Church, which he has attacked many times before.

His comments again focused on predatory behavior and victims he said have not received justice.

“Look at the Catholic Church, and like the predatory behavior that is just going completely unmet with those victims that are still like unheard, unseen, no forgiveness, no resolution, no cure,” he said.

Ritchson then tied the Catholic Church comments back to Ritchie’s bloody phrase.

“And what is releasing the fucking resentment gonna do for the world? Like, I think we should hold onto some of that anger, so somebody gets Guy Ritchie’d and wakes in a pool of their own teeth and blood.”

WATCH:

The outburst fits a familiar pattern for Ritchson, who has been outspoken in his hatred for Trump and his supporters.

He has also made false claims about the president and has attacked police in America.

Ritchson previously falsely accused police in America of “getting away with murdering people all the time.”

He also hinted that a person cannot be both a Christian and a Trump voter, and he called the Catholic Church a haven for pedophiles.

The actor was recently caught on video in a violent public incident.

In March, he was caught on video beating up his neighbor, though he later claimed the neighbor instigated the fight.

Ritchson has also discussed his own mental health struggles. Last year, he said he became so depressed while his acting career was rising that he tried to commit suicide.

“Being bipolar has wreaked havoc on my life many, many times. I would wish it away if I could, but it’s so much a part of who I am now that I should celebrate it a little or, at least, accept it,” he said.

Ritchson’s latest film, Motor City, opened wide last weekend in 1,600 theaters and bombed.

The film grossed just $ 1.6 million.
