Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Dick Wolf Fires Writer From ‘Law & Order’ Spinoff for Threatening to ‘Light Up’ Looters

Craig Gore, a writer whose credits include “S.W.A.T.” and “Chicago P.D.,” has been fired from Dick Wolf’s upcoming “Law & Order” spinoff series after controversial Facebook posts about looters and the recent curfew put in place across Los Angeles.
Gore previously listed himself as a “co-executive producer on ‘Law & Order: Organized Crime'” — the new Chris Meloni series in the works at NBC — on his Facebook profile. However, Meloni replied to Janda’s tweet saying that he has “no idea who this person is or what they do.” Meloni clarified that the showrunner on the “Law & Order: SVU” spinoff is Matt Olmstead, not Gore, adding that he has “gotten no word on any hirings.”

“I will not tolerate this conduct, especially during our hour of national grief. I am terminating Craig Gore immediately,” Dick Wolf said in a statement to Variety.

Photos on social media show Gore holding a weapon with the caption “Curfew…” In another comment, Gore threatened to “light [bleep]—ers up who are trying to f— with my property,” in reference to protests that took place in Los Angeles on Monday.

Gore’s posts, which incited a strong reaction on social media, come amid calls for criminal justice reform after George Floyd was killed by a police officer in Minnesota. His posts gained traction on social media after Drew Janda, who worked on the OWN series “Greenleaf” and HBO shows “Big Little Lies” and “
On the same day as Gore’s posts, the “S.W.A.T.” writers’ room Twitter account posted a statement calling for “law enforcement to de-escalate conflicts, not exacerbate them.” Aaron Rahsaan Thomas, one of the show’s executive producers, said that he is “frustrated, angry, but determined to do better. Onscreen and off.”

Other than “S.W.A.T.” and “Chicago P.D.,” Gore recently had a “DEA” series in development at Fox. However, according to sources the network passed on the project, which had been given a script plus penalty commitment, earlier this year.

This is Craig Gore's biography from IMDB.

"Born in South Carolina, raised in North Carolina. Craig's father went to prison for Manslaughter when Craig was 13. He was on his own by the time he was 16, forming a burglary/robbery crew, and became a professional thief. Craig then went to prison himself at the age of 18. Paroled at 20, and knowing he'd be killed or go back to prison if he remained down south. Craig moved to Chicago where he received a degree in fiction/creative writing from Columbia College Chicago. After graduating from CCC, Craig moved to Los Angeles in 2000, where he started optioning books, writing pilots, features and broke into the business by 2008, selling a pilot to FTVS titled "Stray Bullets". After that, Craig sold five original pilots before staffing, and climbing his way up to the TV food chain."

If the bio on IMDB is correct, then Gore, as a convicted felon, is forbidden to own or possess firearms. He's not too smart posting pictures of himself holdingt a gun and threatening to kill "looters."

On another note, I do know Dick Wolf is very anti-Second Amendment and is a darling of the left wing people in show business.

FWIW.

L.W.

Telling the truth is grounds for instant termination.

It of course goes without saying that Dick Wolf probably lives in some gated enclave in Beverly Hills behind four layers of armed security. The fuggin pool boy probably has to have a background check before they let him in.

Wolf is more afraid of PC backlash than he is of getting his own ass lit up.

That will change as Society degrades.

I'm sure Dick Wolf enjoys some high paid security when he want it. He is extremely wealthy. Course hollyweird have rules for you and rules for them.
