I GOT NEWS FOR YOU BUDDY!.....i hate you. ;) Jokes aside, this guy is nothing compared to what most political/news commentators, including myself, get on the daily. This video was just too funny to me, not to share. :)

[@KaijaSchmauss]

Onision has a fanbase too. The internet is a strange place.

[@bencarley6896]

The Ace Of Spades they want to get spanked by their daddy.

[@wastelandking]

Kaija Schmauss I used to be a fan of Onision. Mostly for his blunt honesty. Realized that as time went on, he was too insufferable for me to deal with, and his advice tends to be rather poor.

[@Dronax]

someone needs to tell the guy in that video his forest camouflage doesnt blend him into the trailer park hes standing in

[@reeverfalls2069]

I honestly don't think that dude in the red bandana is going to do shit to you Phil. He's just a 14 year old edge lord. He probably had to watch Mission Impossible to rev himself up just to make that video.

[@bludlar]

'no one died, but they did have to blur out a dick' - Philip DeFranco 2017

[@joel_molyneux]

Should be his presidential slogan.

[@christopherlkpoetry4291]

Okay so Julius Cesar is a play about Brutus, not about Cesar. Brutus as the main character loves Cesar and is completely torn by the idea of killing the man who is literally his mentor. He kills Cesar, because he is a threat to the Republic, by the end of the play however it's implied that the republic dies not because of Julius Cesar's attempts to undermine democracy, but by his assassin's inadvertent undermining of democracy. Brutus haunted by the death of Cesar gives in as Antoine and Augustus's armies close in and dies knowing that Rome must live on and in order for it to do so he and the other assassins must die. The play is not a story about how rebellion and violence against leaders leads to a positive outcome, it's about the ends not justifying the means. While I don't think the Trump comparison is even remotely accurate I think if some of these protesters who stormed the stage and some of the news anchors who complained about it on twitter actually read the play instead of just getting a stick suppository because of the optics of a president with knife wounds they might be able to appreciate the message the play was trying to put forth. Of course I haven't actually seen this version of the play, so it could be the only message they were trying to put forth was "Trump is evil, let's all go and kill him", but with a play like Julius Cesar, in which the title character is more or less martyred by the end of the play, I have trouble believing that's all they wanted to communicate. If they were trying to go that route I feel like Macbeth would have been a better choice. Just saying.

[@taylorcandelaria4184]

as a theatre fan and actress, you NEVER storm the stage. you're interrupting someone's hard work and passion. almost like if you stormed the set of a news channel you don't agree with. It's tasteless, impatient, and childish.

[@roriesstories7030]

Taylor Candelaria Yes, passion with pretending to kill a president. if that's someone's passion, they should go die themselves.

[@taylorcandelaria4184]

LynxKITTEHGOD well that's a very violent response. And I'm not advocating for killing a president. I don't thin k violence solves anything. And either way, I don't think that's what the play is really trying to relay. I think it's taking a modern figure that we all know and making the play more to the modern viewers interest. more And that's what theatre is. it's to tell a story that the audience can get into.

[@Neerra1]

LynxKITTEHGOD The only people who have a say in the show pertaining to who the characters are include the artistic director of the venue, and the director of the show. The performers on stage and the technicians who put their time and passion into the show are told what to do, they don't choose who each character is. To interrupt a performance in such a way is disrespectful to every single person who put that show up when they had no say. Could some of the performers/tech be against it, such. As a electrician i have hated many shows i have worked on. The problem is if they fight against it, they are replaced, and that is money you don't get. This is just as disrespectful as the man who plugged his phone into the set before Hand of God. It is ridiculous.

That guy is definitely going to end up on NeckbeardRPG

[@saoliath5000]

he sounds at most like a total pushover

[@josefrootgum]

I pity that guy. Must've been bullied regularly... by his parents.

[@the_hoagie5463]

As someone doesn't support trump or clinton, but enjoys theater, Julius Caesar is the story of how murder is terrible. I think that as long as an adaptation keeps the message of the original, put in whatever characters you want as long as the story stays the same. I would call the production "murder porn" if it showed Caesar as trump and he did something that wasn't in the original and could only be done by the Donald, then it showed Hillary Clinton stabbing trump. That would be inappropriate. This? No. It is the story of how killing a leader kills the society. But maybe that's just my theater-loving bias.

[@SpankSandwitch99]

The_Hoagie not just that, but virtually none of the news stations have covered that there was an Obama version, either by not researching, or more than likely on purpose

[@RaphDeGrate]

Nah its you being reasonable

[@mp80085]

Snorlaxation Why is it more than likely? I'm usually on the side that the media is pushing their narrative, though.

[@Himynameishoodie]

The_Hoagie hulk hoagie! I just got your avatar lol

[@dahliatonx1940]

With the Julius Caesar play, I've said this before; Shakespeare's plays will always be updated to make it relatable to the audience. How many children/adults like Shakespeare or even understand it properly these days? This is not a direct threat or attack on a POTUS and will never be. As an actress, I honestly feel like storming the stage is too much. I highly doubt they would like it if someone stormed in on their place of work because of a piece they had reported on. If you want to protest, you're more than welcome to. But please leave that to outside the venue and outside the play itself.

[@gennybaratta2460]

All of this but especially the bit about storming the stage.

[@tanias4998]

They clearly don't realize or care how INCREDIBLY rude they were to interrupt it like that! It's like I said in my comment, I don't care how righteous you think you are, you DO NOT interrupt a play for any reason (excepting emergencies, etc). I'm not an actress and even I understand this!

[@heavenshaffer]

Dahlia Tonx I agree with you about Julius Caesar.

[@UltimateReaperStudio]

this channel is full of leftists, no wonder I don't like it

[@dahliatonx1940]

Honestly not sure why you're involving politics without making an actual point, but okay.

[@NowUrJustIncoherent]

Could we all just please stop the press for a moment and appreciate the fact that the dude filming the interruption in the theatre is shouting "GERBILS! YOU'RE ALL JOSEPHS GERBILS!" instead of "Goebbels", which is the historically correct character he's probably trying to allude to? Bless his tiny socks.

[@heywhaaat4108]

"Bless his tiny sock." Omg, lol! Yes, tiny socks.

[@HaleyBug221]

Lol...tiny socks. I like you. Can we be friends? XD

[@poisonedivysaur]

yes that bloody pokekeyman go is the devil and Stanley Kubrick is the executive producer of Pokekeyman Go. cause after all he was the one who apparently directed the moon landing.

[@GeekyChicChannel]

As an actor: ohhhh I hate those people that stormed the stage. Like gtfo. Do your protesting some other time- actors, crew, etc. work REALLY hard to put on a production and it's sooo disrespectful to interrupt a show.

[@Skylos]

Storming the stage goes against free speech. Free speech goes both ways. You have a right to express your thoughts and opinions but this also means that you have no right to shut someone else down (in this case, the play) because you disagree with it. Free speech is about listening to the other side and letting them speak. These protesters did not do that. They interrupted the play, which to an extent is interrupting free speech and free expression.

[@Sabiancym]

Skylos Free speech has nothing to do with how citizens talk to each other. While I think those looney Trump supporters are idiots, it has nothing to do with free speech. That was just disorderly conduct. The only way free speech can be attacked is if the government does it. KZbin censoring videos, plays being interrupted, etc. have nothing to do with free direct.

[@Skylos]

This is the kind of stuff I hear from a lot of pro-censorship people. Newsflash buddy, whenever most people talk about free speech, they do not talk about it from a legal standpoint but from a standpoint on principle. Also, whether it is legally free speech or not, it's still wrong on a moral standpoint and we both know it. All you are doing by saying "lol you are wrong cuz free speech legally means this" is moving the goalpost. Also, when I now said censorship I meant people silencing other people, and not the strict legal standpoint, since I am assuming that will be your next reply unless I am explicitly explaining that, which most other people would take as a given.

[@Gmoney0436]

Bruh this kid said "I hate you" how am I suppose to take you serious when all you say is "I hate you" 😂😂😂😂 reminds me of the kid who said "I don't Care that you broke your elbow".

That Alex Jones impression was actually so good

[@thefacebiters]

There will never be a line, everything in life is a grey area. The only rational solution is to take things in a case by case basis. Also, hilarious Alex Jones parody.

[@gavmcdonald7684]

First of all I'd definitely recommend reading Julius Caesar, one of Shakespeares better plays. The very act of setting the play in modern times rather than the traditional Ancient Roman setting is clearly trying to send the message that the issues of the play are still poignant today. I think people have a right to protest it, but that protest shouldn't block or stop another person's right to free expression. It's a saddening sight to see so many people today trying to silence each other for having differeing views. The whole point of free expression is to ensure dialogue between two vastly different ideologies remains open.

[@cecinkm]

It's good that you always have armed security at events, because of the wide variety of things you talk about and how willingly you show your opinions it is completely understandable. Stay safe, and keep making some awesome content.

[@quantumchaos1303]

Strangely enough, it was the fans of Do5 that upset me most at the time all of this was going on. I watched quite a few of the "Save Do5" videos, and they were all made by young males (average age seemed to be about 12-13), and several of them admitted to being abused in their OWN lives. I couldn't help but think that seeing other children being abused was somehow "cathartic" for them. It was truly sad - and there was absolutely NO reasoning with them.

[@Jackylification]

Quantum Chaos watching movies about abuse, cancer, suicide etc can help sufferers and their families but no one is actually hurt. its upsetting that they would watch abuse to help them cope with there own instead of trying to stop the cycle

[@johnthesavage381]

Unfortunately, that's why it's a cycle.

[@star3catcherSEQUEL]

Looking at some faux-badass little kid in camo standing in a dingy, desolate yard who feels afraid to cuss? Yeah, doesn't surprise me that the fans are abused themselves.

[@tomo4977]

sometimes I wonder if certain younger abused victims cannot see it as abuse, and see it as a joke because that was how they were brought up themselves- it's the norm for them, if they call it abuse their brain would have to deal with the shitshow of a fact that they're also being abused, by somebody who is meant to love them and take care of them.

[@monkey363]

how could you watch those do5 videos tho? there so bad.

[@teppi5119]

6:50 - 7:23 made me oh so happy. I think you should keep that up every time you talk about Alex Jones. The kids and their Pokémon, I knew it!

[@localuna4953]

i love how you break things down and open them up for a conversation. I appreciate that you don't "tell" me how to feel or what to think. You lay a story open and show all the pages and let me decide. Thank you!

[@feyzledefey]

In regards to the Carrie Fisher story: I've been living with depression for 13 years now and it was only last year when I was open about it. I received help and encouragement from those in my life, and I went and got medical help. It was definitely the best thing for me and I can only try and encourage others to be open too and get the help they need ♥ Stay strong.

[@persiepersephone]

Phil, I work with theatre productions that are open to the public, to see people storming the stage frightens me. Working with different types of actors and people for the past few years I know how much work and dedication goes into theatre productions. Being very close to the theatre life, I am worried for the actors and their safety. They are portraying their art, their character in a way that they were hired, and selected for, in short they are doing their job. If people know they will have an issue with it, then they can simply not see it. Or, they can calmly speak to the actors after the show and state their concerns. Safety should be a priority, for everyone involved. I applaud the group on how they handled the situations and were able to continue with the performance.

[@samr8603]

How dare you hate child abuse and point it out!!! It upsets the abusers!!!

[@mastoner20]

"You are all gerbils! You are all gerbils!" Good to know, we Americans still can't pronounce Göbbels and think that Shakespeare plays are Nazi propaganda....? Also, if you get offended by a 400 year old play; I don't think you really should be calling people you oppose snowflakes for being offended about equally stupid things. Just saying.

[@Jordan-bv7on]

People aren't offended by the play itself they're offended by the depiction of the assassination of the current president lmao. There's a difference.

[@Jordan-bv7on]

@Aditya Chavarkar small subsets, maybe. But #assassinateTrump was trending on Twitter for several days. It’s not a small subset of the left that makes threats. Johnny Depp threatened to assassinate hi. Madonna threatened to bomb the White House. Kathy Griffin posed with a severed Trump head. Threats are quite literally mainstream on the left

[@Nandoswitharando]

@@Jordan-bv7on you named three people and said “they aren’t small subsets”😂

[@juliannebennett3886]

I watch The Defranco Fam channel also and when you were talking about the treats and how you have security, all I could think about is when the person broke into your home when you were out of town. As a mom those are the things that keep me up at night. How do you deal the all that pressure and stress? Having a family to protect must make it difficult for you to talk about certain topics sometimes...Love your show though. I'm glad you take the time to cover difficult things and that you're not bias. My husband and I watch every night!! And we are HUGE fans of the always adorable Trey!!

[@IgorKolosha]

Yep, no balls at all. Must have been castrated when he was born.

[@markbollinger1343]

Like Antifa but not as #edgy

[@arkhamhero1238]

The fact that there was another production with a Barack Obama figure who was stabbed in the same or similar way (I haven't seen the play) makes me think that this isn't anti-Trump but just using what looks like a current President. To me, it was an attempt to be relevant over an anti-Trump message

[@arkhamhero1238]

max howard I'm not sure how, but I still think that was a choice made to make the play more relevant to today.

[@NukeWarz101]

max howard I mean, everyone but Brutus DID enjoy stabbing Caesar, so it sounds like the Trump play was more accurate, perhaps.

[@daniellucas5171]

the problem is did they enjoy stabbing the fake trump or the fake representation of Caesar

[@cluelessPhilosophic]

ArkhamHero123 The president represents Cesar in the play. The assassination is never a good thing. it is always deeply regretted by the main characters.

[@laurenceT141]

it's hardly new to have political figures aped in a production of Caesar, the new thing is that Trump is a pure demagogue who has inspired fanatical support. You have to hold these kinds of lights up to demagoguery, and at the end of the day how many people would see JC if it didn't have a touch of sensationalism to it like this?

[@MrPonyboy95]

Phil, you are one of the most epic KZbinrs that I watch. Might not mean much coming from a stranger like me, but I appreciate your show--loving the fact your informative when you need to be and commentative when the situation when the situation calls for it. I have enjoyed your show, as have many others, for a very long and upon realizing you could receive hate (and now apparently death threats), I would like you to know that I always look forward to your show and value your opinion. Keep doing what you're doing and always be yourself. - a beautiful bastard

I read your comment, then your name, now I can't unsee the last word as 'wombat'

[@PseudoUematsu]

Here's the thing about plays: If you don't like the message, you can choose not to go. The only thing that storming the stage will do is validate the biases of the very people you are trying to preach against. It won't help your argument, and will probably actively hurt it.

[@msbutterfly1011]

Stark Raven and the fact that they bought tickets to be able to storm on stage just goes towards the production and paying the actors.

[@mapleseerope9381]

Stark Raven you also just thrpw your money away by buying the ticket

[@gearschamp2]

The same rules falls under Comedy clubs too. If you're going there, you better expect some offensive humor, and if you get offended and interrupt the show, you're no where in the right.

[@bruhmomentmaker4979]

Stark Raven and they don't say it is donald it's just a look alike

[@superrrrliz]

I love how you present your content in a way that either doesn't assume the watcher knows what you're talking about or the history behind it, OR you provide direction to find more information to get caught up with what you're discussing.

[@mhdj1234]

Holy guacamole, idk if you watched back your recordings between the cuts from like 6:55 - 7:30, but after that first little taste of a rough patch you really got Mr. Jones' accent and speech idiosyncrasies down, and really quickly too! Hilarious

[@HrothgarXII]

The people who are upset about the Julius Caesar/Donald Trump look alike have absolutely no idea what the play is about. The murder of Caesar is in no way shown as a good thing. The lack of basic critical analysis is infuriating.

[@misha130]

HrothgarXII but how is the play played out? did they change anything else besides Trump? Who replaced Augustus and Mark Anthony?

[@Pk2723]

i agree. context matters. id be no more bothered if instead of the Donald trump lookalike, the queen of England or someone else was playing the role of Julius Caesar. It's art. I mean, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and everyone has the right to free speech but storming the stage and disrupting the peace and order of a play is clearly no protest or expression of opinion. It's basically "I don't agree with you so I'll do whatever i can to stop this." If you can't value other's opinions then i feel that you don't deserve to express your own. I get why people are angry about this but this is clearly not the way to go about this.

[@Baylorguy55]

while that might be the point of the play, making the character specifically to look and act like Trump (along with his family) was unnecessary. If they had him look like any other regular politician, there'd be no argument against this kind of modern take. But you can't honestly believe that they chose to make this play in New York and show a man specifically looking like Trump getting murdered without enjoying getting to do so in the name of artistic freedom. should they have been shut down? No, but they knew they were making a statement with killing "Trump".

[@TeddyKrimsony]

But the problem is that people will misinterpret it like umm terrorists misinterpret religious texts and might act on that misinterpretation.

[@benaimjacob]

HrothgarXII Though I agree with you, the real issue is, not enough people care about context in this specific isolated issue. These people aren’t seeing it as an insightful look on the modern day through the lens of ancient history, they just see “play replaces julius ceaser with the president and kills him on stage thats nazi propaganda you liberal fucks”

[@BelleDreamer7]

Phil, I am a moderate conservative and I have to thank you. Because of you I learned about the Julius Caesar with the Obama character and I immediately stopped giving a shit about the play. It is fair play, if you do it with Obama it is fair to do it with Trump and the truth is, the moral of the play is something we as a country need to remember. I am annoyed by my fellow conservatives acting like fools. Ben is correct, let the play go, if people are there for the actual story, they will understand the moral, if they are there to see Trump die in effigy, they need mental help. We need to start compromising between the left and right, otherwise we will tear ourselves apart.

[@andreacall3024]

Yes!! You put it perfectly.

[@turbotaquitogoogle8095]

BelleDreamer7 We need more open minded people like you. Thank you for being awesome :)

[@marybermel4716]

BelleDreamer7 I consider myself an Independent, but lean very much to the right. I never cared about the play, it is free speech, but violence is a total 'nother thing.

[@MidnightBitesCarly]

Dont interrupt actors on stage. Ever. They use a president like character to draw similarities to the real world and the play with the message that violence is wrong

[@samp3087]

I agree, I came to see the play, not to watch you throw a hail mary for a little fame. Theater is allowed to be political, Southpark gets away with it, why can't live performance.

[@peckyd6958]

I have endless respect for you because you make videos raising awareness to things that need attention but no ads so you get to the point .

[@rasmusbonn]

That Alex Jones impersonation was hilarious!

[@Whatever1076]

I got news for you, DeFranco... I love yo face :).

[@TheTsarsArmy]

got to say, this one jumped to all sorts of topics, but it may have been the best Philip DeFranco video ever in my opinion. Great job Phil, this comprehensive coverage that allows people to formulate their own opinions and encourages them to seek out other viewpoints and sources is exactly what the people of not only the United States but the world need in this day and age. Major respect.

[@isabellacagnana2701]

As someone who had their family broken apart and their entire life ripped out from under them by a drug addiction, of which went on for even longer because of shame felt by the user and the bliss in ignorance mentality on the other side, it is important for people to be able to talk about these things. Especially because these things can be so complicated. Like, in our family's example, where the person became addicted because of drugs prescribed by a doctor after many surgeries, the stigma around "drug addicts" is so harsh and damning that in many cases people would let their lives spiral out of control before they reach out for help, and in addition the lives of people around them. One of the many sad things about drug addiction is that effects the people around you as well and because addiction is such a taboo subject, much of the problems get swept under the rug and never really get resolved. I feel like the sudden uproar in, "it's no one's god damn business" comments really do come from a place of frustration because fans do not want to see someone like Carrie Fisher, who they admire greatly, as a drug addict. But the point if the matter is, that she DID struggle with addiction, and very likely up until her very last days of life, and it's important to acknowledge that it CAN happen to her, and it can happen to anyone.

[@Ethameshep]

I want to see someone follow up this Julius Cesar production with Romeo & Juliet where the Montague's and Capulet's are extreme conservatives and liberals, and the message is basically how stupid and overblown it is for people to allow political views to divide us on such a deep level.

[@BiggusDickusTheFourth]

One of your best videos ever. The Alex Jones impression gave me life 😂

[@Emrad16]

Looking at America from the outside (I live in Australia) I really feel like so many problems would be figured out if everyone just like, calmed down. It feels like everyone just freaks out at every single thing that happens and immediately jumps to the worst extreme. (yes I know problems won't be magically solved by calming down, I'm just saying no one ever got hurt by people taking a second to breathe)

[@thatboringone7851]

Emrad16 Same in Aus, to some extent. Politics was never really something discussed calmly, but christ, everyone just jumps off the deep end now.

[@CrestOfArtorias]

That the US for ya.

[@lucyakre929]

Emrad16 I feel the same. I'm Finnish and live in the Netherlands. AND JESUS CHRIST THEY NEED TO CALM DOWN! I've noticed how much of it is he said she said garbage. Many people of the African American community screaming about "the whites", the white ppl complaining about everything... They need to realize they're all American losers who need to come together and fix the wrong.

[@MONKEYBOSSRADIO]

To be fair, if you aren't from the US, then the only people you see are usually the radicals (left or right) in the media. I'd like to think the average person is a lot more reasonable like Phil.

[@brenda-cl9hh]

Emrad16 actually most people are moderate but only extremist get attention. It's like when there's a fight at school and everyone pays attention to that instead of going about their business

[@isaac7132]

Anyone who gets upset about the Julius Caesar play obviously doesn't understand what it's about. I always thought the message was that violently removing a leader, no matter how noble or corrupt your intentions, will cause a power vacuum and thus destroy, or at least weaken the nation as other parties vie for power. The outrage around this is born of ignorance, stupidity and a lack of critical thinking.

[@mishkarae]

The hatred stems from their ignorance. But it's not like modernizing a Shakespeare play is a new thing, so the outage is a little silly ^^;

[@chasearooni2119]

Isaac Voth thats like exactly what Cesar was about

[@henrikvanwalsum]

Like Piper says in Fallout 4: "I never thought journalists were a success before someone theatened their life. Me? I'm very successfull" Goes for De Franco too ;)

[@benjaminauge8987]

As someone who has done a lot of public theater storming the stage is definitely not ok. Regardless of the context of the play, if you liked it or not, whatever the case may be, there are others enjoying the show and you should have the common curtsy to respect their enjoyment and talk to the writers, directors, actors, etc, after the show.

[@Tristramdeliones]

Great episode. Amazing analysis and breakdown. Positive messages that everyone should hear. Keep up the good work man, no disrespect to you, but it's incredibly sad that you are my best news source. I try to source as many points as possible, but there is so much fluff and misdirection. No one cuts right to the point any more. Thanks again.

[@sodam_sicman5565]

I've seen people talking Shit about Philip DeFranco having armed security like there's not a TON of psychos out there that think he talks directly to them and wouldn't think twice about trying to hurt him or his family. Anyone remember the Bjork stalker? Yeah I would have armed security too. hell I'd have a gun myself. And if nothing happens then great. At worse he wasted his money. But god forbid something does happen then everyone will be safer for his effort.

[@elie2100]

MyTime Gaming there was also Christina Grimmie. you never know what could happen :(

[@Beckynolife]

MyTime Gaming and I wouldn't even see it as wasting money. Those security guards have families to take care of.

[@arewestilldoingphrasing6490]

Elisha Gomez that was the worst she was so talented and nice

[@wirednetworktechnologies3995]

MyTime Gaming wait he had armed security guards?

[@JoeyTeson]

Beckynolife Even beyond that... Maybe someone had a plan to do something to Phil and the sight of his armed guards scared them away from doing anything. It may feel like paying security to do nothing is a waste of money but sometimes their presence has as much effect as their ability to defend their employer.

[@DrChuckFry]

I mean, Julius Caesar has only been getting stabbed to death on stage for 418 years. I know that is a sudden shock to some. #TooSoon

[@20bigd01]

Charles Fry Let the man die. Don't drag out his pain ;((

[@haydensproductions4716]

Charles Fry I mean, I'm a Conservative and a Trump supporter, but The Rebel Media KZbin hosts storming the stage is just annoying because they were not only paid to storm the stage, but they also don't understand that they've been doing the president as the Caesar character since Bill Clinton. The president symbolizes power much like Caesar did. What The Rebel and Laura Loomer did is just make conservatives look stupid and weak. I don't agree with what they're doing at all since it's just a play with a character that symbolizes power that just happens to look like President Trump.

[@airget]

It's the context from what I've heard. The same thing happened with Obama but it wasn't as viscous as Trump. With the Obama look alike I believe it was just a simple stabbing but from what I've heard and seen, the Trump look alike is pretty much being simulated as to being beaten down on top of being stabbed. It's the excessive violence that's causing the outrage, I have a feeling had he just been stabbed and that's that, it wouldn't be like this, but it's the violence we've been having on the left side mainly due to their own angst towards the results of the election and now this that have put them in the light of the situation. It all comes down to context, Julius Ceaser was assassinated, stabbed and that's that, he wasn't stabbed and then proceeded to get beat down by all those around him, and the moment they did that, they altered the message of their story for their own gains.

[@danielbricker7204]

Julius Caesar himself was supposedly killed in a very very violent manor and they play is supposed to depict a part of that. this production of the play decided that they wanted to have the murder mor heinous and less "oh look he got stabbed" i think thats perfectly fine. its also ok to not think its fine. voice your opinion but they arnt breaking the law so you cant force them to stop.

[@kellyloganme]

It is understandable that people who are not familiar with theatre would see a performance like this and think that it this is a new thing that is uniquely targeting someone they like. Maybe after the emotional impact fades it will be an opportunity to learn more.

[@zyaicob]

Huge props to the imam who handled that situation like a freaking champ!

[@IcarusReams]

That first video really made me realize why Philip was so freaked out about the guy finding his way into his office.

[@killheart420]

As far as i'm concerned if you had no problem with the play with the obama character then you have no reason to have a problem with the trump character. Try to justify it however you like. But to me it seems like your just looking for things to be offended by. Just a different color of PC culture.
