Whoopsie! Rose McGowan Says Something Controversial About the ‘Troubles’

Now here we are again, a celebrity voices an opinion publicly and they receive the backlash of said opinion. At the premier of ‘Fifty Dead Men Walking’ the story of a British official who was working for the IRA and starring Miss McGowan said in an interview

"I imagine, had I grown up in Belfast, I would 100 percent have been in the IRA.... My heart just broke for the cause. Violence is not to be played out daily and provide an answer to problems, but I understand it."

Hmmm, alright she empathized with the republican movement. Hopefully noone picks up on and causes a… wait… A victims' advocacy group leader said

"She may as well add that she would have joined al-Qaeda and flew those planes into the Twin Towers had she been born a disgruntled Muslim."

To add to this Martin McGartland, the British secret agent whose infiltration of the IRA is the basis of the film, said,

"Rose McGowan's comments were insulting to victims of IRA terrorism and she should apologize. It's easy to say this sort of thing when you live in L.A."

So she annoyed a few people, or allot as it seems. Should she be condemned? Should she have kept her trap shut? Should she have thought a few moments longer about what she was saying and rephrased? Or should we all get over it and move on with ours lives? We thinks the later.
