Actor Who Played Trump Assassin Gets SHOCKING Dose Of Karma Right After Stepping Off Stage
We all know that behavior depends upon its consequences. That’s why if there’s an electric fence that shocks you when you lean against it, you’ll probably avoid it the next time. I saw that we all know it, but unfortunately, there are many who think that if they whine loud enough they can make the fence stop shocking them, or at least get someone to turn off the power to it.
That’s not really how freedom works though. Yes, you’re free to do many dumb things here that you’re not free to do anywhere else. You’re just not free from the consequences of those actions. You want to tick off millions of people at an event attended by some of those people, they might just heckle you, or worse.
The actors who repeatedly acted out the death of our Commander in Chief ran into this problem after many performances of the modern adaptation of Julius Cesar, which starred Donald Trump as the assassinated ruler. While this play was in bad taste, probably bad for the country and in just about every other way inadvisable, just like many bad ideas, it wasn’t illegal. This particular group of actors apparently didn’t properly account for the Trump supporters who would be in attendance and had a few things to say about this stupidity.
Via The UK Guardian:
Corey Stoll, the actor who played the assassin Marcus Brutus in a New York production of Julius Caesar that was repeatedly interrupted by pro-Donald Trump protesters, has written of the fear such actions engendered among a cast left ‘exhausted and nervous’ by the time of the final show, in Central Park on June 18.
The Public Theater production, which featured a central character dressed to look like Trump, was first interrupted by protester Laura Loomer, who shouted that ‘this is political violence against the right’. The incident was filmed by Jack Posobiec, a rightwing conspiracy theorist, who stood up and told the crowd: ‘You are all Nazis like Joseph Goebbels.’
Stoll, who said he was initially worried the decision to depict Caesar as Trump would make the play like a ‘Saturday Night Live skit’, pointed to the surreality of the moment when he wrote: ‘I swear I thought he said ‘gerbils’.’
At a subsequent show, a man rushed the stage shouting, ‘Liberal hate kills’. Police charged Loomer, Javanni Valle of Brooklyn and Long Island man Salvatore Cipolla with trespassing.
Stoll said threats to the production heightened after the Republican congressman Steve Scalise was shot at baseball practice in Virginia – an act that was seemingly blamed on the Julius Caesar controversy by Donald Trump Jr.
