This is the kind of thread that makes people think atlas is toxic.

But seriously, what can be said has already been said. The people who send death/rape threats in are complete and utter idiots. Not only is the play about assassination being a bad thing and quite unwise, they have used previous holders of the Oval Office for Caesar, so it's literally being fair to both sides, so there's no point in getting outraged about it.

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.
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.
