Death threats, rape threats pouring into "Shakespeare" companies and theaters

Ridicule & exposure obviously not enough for some  who follow the left's Alinsky disruptive tactics. We all know both sides have people paid to protest or in the case of kids there is usually a dissatisfied adult teacher or admin encouraging them.

Admit it, the play with a black bald Obama-like Caesar in 2012 was not playing in Central Park, sponsored by American Express, and touted by a CNN anchor. It was a much smaller Minnesota theater.

A good number of people don't care to hear that a major company that appeals to a wide range of people that props up a production which gives a select number of Trump haters a good time every night with a vicarious assassination of their least favorite President ever.

At least this is the last of this play but not the last virtual or symbolic violence against political figures.

Given the attack at the baseball practice it is obvious to see it can lead to a downward spiral.

lmao

"Libertarians" remain some of the most easily triggered people on the planet.

And a rube like you is the authority.

So if Scalise had been killed would you still be laughing?

What if it was a Trump nut who shot a Dem? What's the reaction then.

Personally I think stepping on the stage in protest of the play in NY confirms the bias of the protester as ill-informed, simplistic. Bernie was right to blame the perpetrator. Yet he said that McCain should do more after Giffords was killed in AZ.

The Dems were quick to retort to complaints about the Central Park play with the story of the Minnesota production - obviously if Fox News had been selling that one big, Cracker Barrel, Hobby Lobby and Bass Pro Shops underwriting it I would say yes.

Have you actually ever read/watched the play Julius Caesar? Like, do you actually know what its about? It doesn't glorify assassination at all.

Yes, I've seen it.
The one with the Obama sounds very deep about how the right-wing carries out the assassination.
I am sure that is how it went down - like the one I saw years ago in high school off-Broadway.

The current one just ended seems to play to liberal fantasies. Why do it in such a delicate environment with all the reactionaries looking for anything?
It smacks of being deliberately provocative for commercial sake to cash in on the Resistance fans willingness to fork over dough to see Trump-like figure kick the bucket.

Of course. But this isn't about the play. It's the fact that a bunch of 27 year old New Yorkers are turning it into murder porn for their primative audience of pissed off urban millennials.

Not just millennials. Probably at least 2 or 3 Gen X anti-Trumpers in my circle of IRL friends and relatives would go and see it - especially for free...
