they did one with a black guy dying when obama was president. I'm sure some people melted but I never heard much.

So they bought tickets to enter the facility in order to protest?

Looks like the play is in a public park and free. Plus this is from the production company's donation site, so looks like this is the type of discourse they're promoting and encouraging. Would live to see a list of their "sponsors".

You are correct. That is not a 'peaceful' protest. That is an intrusion.

Don't like the play, fine. Stand outside and hold up your sign.

The left is starting to get a taste of its own medicine.

When their own tactics are thrown back in their face they always freak out.

The play was in a public park, the protestors had just as much right to be there as the performers.

It's not like they trespassed in a private venue.

I hadn't thought about it in that way.

There is some tasty irony in that observation

Silencing free speech??? Sounds like they were exercising their own free speech to me.

Yet again the left attacking the right and trying to silence the free speech rights of the conservatives.

Do not support. We are just mimicking the behavior of the Left. No thanks.

Agreed. I was supportive until they started throwing rocks, looting buildings, and starting fires

He won't come back-- gthog is the biggest hit and run poster on this board.

Anyway, personally, I don't like the idea of a play depicting assassination but my personal views aren't what this country was founded on. That being said, I'm cool with these guys interrupting the play. Free speech meets free speech, I suppose.

You sustained some bad head trauma when you fell off the Republican wagon. Here's hoping you recover soon.

Right, because huey newton was more relevant than martin luther king in civil rights happening. Dead or not, he most certainly succeeded.
