Ladd Everitt has bailed on the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, quitting with little or no notice to head up a new gun grabber group founded and funded by gay activist George Takei called One Pulse for America.

George Takei is the 79-year-old former Mr. Sulu from Star Trek.

CSGV is known for inflammatory social media posts and the ensuing lunacy of its followers on Facebook.

Example?

On a post about Chris Kyle, the decorated Navy SEAL sniper, here is what some of their followers wrote:

Caroline Marie I will keep on trashing that bastard.  He was a MURDERER.

Matthew Scott Szerzinski  Kyle was a bigot and a liar who happened to be a good shot.

Daniel J. Webster Jr “Live by the gun, die by the gun” from this former Navy Officer who trained with Seals and was stationed in Coronado where they train

Dawn Henke Not a hero. Brags about how much he enjoyed indiscriminately killing people. No sympathy from this army veteran.

Bianca Bangor Not by any means a hero.

Chris Steele Soulless?

Valerie Martin soulless, heartless, and brainless!

Howard Gold In his book, Chris Kyle said that he burglarized homes after killing a “bad guy”. This is not the act of a hero.

Judith Squires Here’s the thing: this man lived by the gun, even if he was doing at as a military duty and died by the gun.

Richard M. Ponce I’m a Navy Vet. And this guy is a disgrace to the uniform I wore. Politics has nothing to do with it.

Matthew Scott Szerzinski Apparently all you need to do to be a hero in some people’s estimation is shoot foreigners. I’m sure Kyle did things that helped save fellow service members lives. I’m also sure he was a sociopath and a liar.

Samuel FN Hall The face of a dead asshole…

Robby Clewley Idolizing a murderer .. That’s real good America

Scott Sproat i can second the above comment-what goes around-comes around. its called karma.

Mark James Hankins Chris Kyle USN ~ karma

Shelley Farrell what a trailer of horse shit.

Daniel Coates First thing to know is that the man was a LIAR and fabricator of stories to enhance his abilities and skills, ie, machoism/reputation. That was proven in a court of LAW. Then, he made his reputation shooting women, old men and women and children from hidden positions in cities we blew up and invaded, without any supervision per se. “it’s you’re call”, ie. do what you want, we will cover your ass! All the while being protected by a squad of Marines!

Lori Fondren Bridge Mr. Kyle was a liar

John Girgus Eh, fuck this guy.,

Mari Tatlow Steed Of all the things with which to create a hornet’s nest of lies, using Chris Kyle/’American Sniper’ ranks as the worst. Whatever about his military record: Kyle is a sad indictment of the need for better gun-control. And for less lying. Irony at its best.

Michael Bailey Psycho.. The only good thing about this guy is the happy ending.

Ladd served as the Director of Communications for CSGV, meaning he was the guy who fanned the flames of lunacy from the group’s members on social media platforms.

Now, though, he’s taken the role of Director of George Takei’s new One Pulse for America.

“Huh?  Who?” you ask.

Yeah.  We know.  One Pulse for America doesn’t even have a website!  Or even a public Facebook page.

We doubt that One Pulse will have a pulse for long.  We don’t know if Ladd left because money is drying up for the largely irrelevant CSGV and he was acting like a rat fleeing a sinking ship.  Or maybe Ladd left because he sees this as a step up in the world to an organization that’s not (yet) irrelevant.

Regardless, we do know that Takei is no Michael Bloomberg and once the publicity for this new group fades, we don’t see Takei’s shallow pockets funding this new gun grabbing group for too long.  Alternatively, “Uncle George” could die tomorrow (or even today).  He’s 79-years-old after all.

Meaning Ladd will be left out in the cold when this new group folds soon for whichever reason.

 

Ladd Everitt is the Director of One Pulse for America, a gun violence prevention group founded by actor and activist George Takei and Team Takei in response to the mass shooting in an LGBTQ club in Orlando, Florida on June 12, 2016. One Pulse for America is an action-oriented group dedicated to closing the “Passing Gap” with pro-gun activists; thereby obtaining life-saving reforms in Congress, state and local legislatures. Prior to this, Ladd served as the Director of Communications of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence from 2006-2016. He has also served in a volunteer capacity with the D.C. Crisis Response Team, a group which offered comfort, support and referral services to victims and survivors of homicide in the District of Columbia. Ladd got his start in the gun violence prevention movement with the D.C. Chapter of the Million Mom March, where he served as President from 2002-2007. Ladd relocated to the District of Columbia from New York in September 1993 to obtain a Masters degree in U.S. Foreign Policy at American University.

    1. If he’s donating to groups like PervertedJustice(.com), they will give him a pass.

  1. Makes about as much sense as taking the gig as the general manager of a one-hour film processing store.

    Times are changing. You have to change with them and getting onboard with a tiny niche group underwritten by a 79-year-old b-list “celeb” (b-list at best) doesn’t seem like the move of a wise and prudent man.
