Um....What Now?
So the community, made up of fine people, including hundreds of cops, firefighters and their families, came together not too long ago and saved the local theater.
And this is the thanks they get?
And this is the thanks they get?
- “Tasered: The Philip Oliver Coleman Story” will be performed at the Beverly Arts Center, 2407 W. 111th St., on Saturday, June 23, at 4 and 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, June 24, at 4 p.m. “Tasered” is an intense theatrical stage play that aims to show the severity of mental illness and police brutality in African-American communities. Tickets are $37.50 for VIP tickets, $25.50 for general admission and $20 for early bird tickets.
If the north side can get a school principal to resign in disgrace, we certainly think the south side can get a slanted, liberal, anti-police stage play shut down.
UPDATE: Remember, this guy died from medical malpractice - he was improperly medicated at the hospital by an actual doctor....you know, with a medical degree and everything. Not from being tasered.

Screw that place. It should have never been built in the first place. GinGin Rugai forced a successful family run business out so she could
Build the bankrupt nightmare that hosts this drivel. The BAPA is complicint in allowing this load of crap in our ‘hood. Right next to. Cop bar, none the less.
If mental health illness is a disease, why are the police dispatched? Shouldn't that be a job for cfd? Then we wouldn't be demonized for defending ourselves from an adult who probably outweighs us or has a strength beyond the normal range

I saw there was a Wildwood School Council meeting tonight, and it was on the news. To the douchebag libfuck whose last name was Rabbitt, I hope and pray that someone breaks into your house, carjacks you, or tries to grab your loved one in an effort to them harm. I then hope you called the former principal, the “urban speaker”, or the rest of your libtard friends to help you. DO NOT CALL THE POLICE, YOU LEFTIST FUCK. If anyone thinks it’s OK to have a guest speaker who had CPDK on his Facebook page, speak to a group of 6-8th graders, then you are truly mentally diseased. Karma’s a bitch, and someday, you’ll get yours, in this world or the next.
Stage play inside? Stage some theater outside. You know the community wants to hear from all sides, right?
Ah, the mind of the artistic creative creatures....so needing to be seen as superior to the common herd.....they celebrate themselves by shitting upon all who do not shove their shit right back in their smarmy faces.....in the honest working trades, upon which these snobs existence depends, they are known as....the talent....
The hell with the hateful low IQ false narrative play, lets get rid of the asshole theater that allows such garbage. Don’t ever spend another dollar there. What an “in your face.” Too bad the community didn’t know this was coming and didn’t help them.
Yes the BAC was begging for money, because the bank made a one time offer to match the money to pay off mortgage. Thus numerous fundraising efforts by the community including Alderman pumping gas and restaurants offering a percentage to the BAC. And this is how they repay us......Fuck em, fool me once.
Milo Yiannopoulos was supposed to speak at the Patio theater on Irving Park Rd. in Portage Park. The lib-tards complained enough that the was afraid of the damage that would occur to his theater and in the community that he declined the engagement. These so called Americans only believe in free speech when the dialogue fits their own point of view. Enough is enough. It's time for the conservative minded folks living in Chiraq to stop living in the shadows and speak up. Enough of this anti-cop, police hating rhetoric. This "show" needs to be shut down and cancelled.
Let me know when / where to be for the protest. I'm in!
It should be a play about medical malpractice since his cause of death was caused by meditations given to him at the hospital. Not from being tasered. But I'm guessing that part will be glossed over.
"Merit: The Anthony Escamilla Story" will be performed at the Baton Lounge, 436 N. Clark. "Merit" is an intense theatrical stage play that aims to show the severity of mental illness that is coupled with police nepotism and merit promotions involved with LAPA. Tickets are available at the 025th District CAPS office for 39.95. Gun turn ins get two free passes as long as they were not recovered from any 011th district lockers
Shriff Dart's top aide Willie Winters is on the Board of directors at the Beverly Arts Center. His nephew Vince is on Darts Merit board who regularly screws over good cops. This is not surprising!!!
Gee, we should do what every other libtard does....get together and block the entrance of the playhouse with locked arms and see what happens. We will send our message just like they do. eye for eye tooth for tooth! Oh, make sure you cover your faces so they cant identify you !
In honor of Phillip Oliver, I’m gonna pull over and check my Deffered comp balance before I slow roll to every call with my sireen blaring in the ‘hood tonight.
Looks Like time to have a march at the BAC. FOP?
Just wondering if the part of the taser has been filled because I'd like to apply for that part in the play.
The local communities often do not think highly of the cops, nor do the local elites and intelligentsia.
Very disappointing. I thought they had more sense. Silly me.
And just like when Rahm screwed over retirees,hundreds of which live in the 19th ward,out of their health insurance,You'not hear a peep out of our "elected" alderperson O'shea.
Can't wait to see the theatrical production of "Trumped" where Barrack O'Bama's 8 years of growing the economy and setting the stage for lowest African American unemployment in history was jacked by Republican President Donald Trump. Feel the Bern. Vice President Biden's dream of 21st Century high tech jobs are realized and mayor Emanuel is given all the credit for his leadership.

Q of H = windfall of stolen money for the man behind the curtian.
Compare that Q of H to others which have rolled over this many times. Where is the rest of the money?
One of the Communist goals was to take over media and the arts in a skillfully crafted way to re-educate the masses. So many people have dreams of acting that they want to follow the crowd and are brainwashed into the believing the accepted "norms" of the artsy fartsy community. Have other than acceptable thoughts such as conservative viewpoints and you will be ostracized, blacklisted and profiled forever banished from the arts community. So many who are into the arts are gullible believing any thing to be part of the self labeled cultural elite.
O’shea didn’t he host a pizza night for pos? Did tommy have his flock cater it from his pizza palace on 26th street? More and more the anti-police bias builds, cps is teaching false propaganda about police and Burge and laquan, the liberal out of control democratic agenda is spinning totally out of control! The anti-police dishonest media narrative is hitting new highs, on another not watched Bruce Willis in death wish on Comcast last night excellent movie, throughout the honesty listening to news reporting of “what is happening” in Chicago all the murder and mayhem, we need a Paul Kersey type to stop the excessive violence, the police are being bastardized so severely by the elected and media!
No matter what protect each other what we have is us, even though I’m now retired if I see a brother or sister in blue in need, on duty or off we are family and I’m there! God bless all of you!
Or we can play out the theatre scene from Inglorious Bastards?

A total lie,totally dishonest why not tell the truth? Show the doctors at that stellar hospital that gave the wrong meds and kilt him! Matt needs to go, his liberal views and insanity has proven so many times his total lack of thought for law and order! Matt is an embarrassment to his family,the community and human beings!
Off Topic: fbi agent arrested:Dancing FBI agent who accidentally shot someone is arrested
https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/12/us/dancing-fbi-agent-arrest/index.html
They even plastered his picture in the article typical liberal we hate law enforcement media!
But the bar came up big in helping the victim that was shot:
The bar also said the patron who was shot is welcome to complimentary drinks forever at the bar.
So at least the victim can get numb from alcohol,such a great jesture by the bar owners! This bar means it when you order a shot you get 1!!
Yet mention lifting residency in that neighborhood and you'll get your head bit off......no sympathy
Local residents simply stop patronizing this place. The next play will be “ BAC from Bankruptcy to A Dollar Tree Store - What went wrong ?”
Now that the 25th dist has been bought up dont forget your capt harris and his propensity to run over school security guards

More info please! I want to make sure I have one of those fancy balcony views close to the stage.
The only people who will go to this are the friends and family of the performers. Why give it publicity.

Nice
Don’t know why concerned people couldn’t picket before the performances begin. Persuade people not to support false anti police propaganda.
That’s bullshit.
Who thought this was a good idea to bring this to B.A.C.?
Maybe they could change the venue to Phaker Phleger’s St. Sabina.
It's named the Baffes theater for a reason. The family has a lot of influence as they have been the major financial donors to the theater. Contact them at County Fair Foods. Katie Codiere is a Baffes and is a member of the Board at the BAC. Flood them with calls.
Where can I get information on Philip Oliver Coleman and how he died. I know the Baffes family well and I would like to give it to them and show them they are supporting a false narrative that will hurt many in the community including many customers. Please publish any links you have to what really happened to this man. I am incensed that they are showing this play.
Was Willie Winters the owner of the Waltzing Matildas on 111th Street?
Shut them down. Do not patronize the place, picket it so people wont buy tickets, call up the place just cause havoc cause that's whats the lunatic left does
They love it out here , plenty of stuff to scream about and waste money on.

You are absolutely right! Only leftwing nutjob progressive SJWs do this shit, its about time the right pushed back
If any of you Management people on days, want to stay on days, you better get your tickets to "Merit" by next week.
Tact, too!
Tony.
Maybe we should buy tickets and disrupt the show just like the left does. That could be a lot of fun.

I heard that it will also contain numerous scenes with knee pads and elbow pads. ATM escami
It should be a flop
Boycott
Never liked Beverly
Yes but that doesn't follow the script of police brutality.......
I’m still waiting for the ballet “rahmballina; the little boy that could”
What a bunch of assholic libtards.
Remember Rham "the rat" gave 250,000 of TIF money to the Beverly Arts Center the 19th Ward failure a half a mile from the Buona Beef stand at 107th and Western Ave who also got 250,000 of TIF funds too. Why did either of these two get our tax funds AKA TIF funds? Both private entities and Rham donors and Chicago failures.
Also playing in the theater..."Dropout: a west side story" followed by the encore presentation of "single momma: a south side story"
Residency should be demanded in this contract . They can have these so called " good neighborhoods" . Alderman O'shea and Beverly as a whole can suck on it when the good families have freedom to move out.
They should of never torn down Red’s for that dump.
What the fuck!
Matt is a BLM guy loves to buy pizza for them fuck the 19th crew retired CPD
I saw there was a Wildwood School Council meeting tonight, and it was on the news. To the douchebag libfuck whose last name was Rabbitt, I hope and pray that someone breaks into your house, carjacks you, or tries to grab your loved one in an effort to them harm. I then hope you called the former principal, the “urban speaker”, or the rest of your libtard friends to help you. DO NOT CALL THE POLICE, YOU LEFTIST FUCK.

Disagree with the entire above post due to being a peaceful person that loves thy neighbor....That being said, isn't it ironic that the person being spoken about is pro 5150 Milwaukee (on record with media.) It all goes hand in hand with progressive values....Infect the neighborhood and infect the kids with self hatred.
People are waking up to it.
That idiot guy with the last name rabbit didnt even belong at that school meeting. He sends his kids across the street to the Catholic school. He runs the "social justice" and anti racism panel at the Catholic school. He just showed up to start his shit about the code of silence, police brutality, etc. rant. Hey pal, mind your own business. You have no kids at that school. What? You dont know where 57/morgan is....or Iowa/kostner....stay in you bubble.STFU.

LMAO....dude you are hilarious...wish you were my partner!
They tore down one of the best hamburger stands in the city, Reds, to make way for the Beverly Arts Center. I rarely do there but after this anti-cop play, I will make it a point to never go there
Ya know how when Libs don't like something they go to the event and cause a ruckus inside....
Don’t expect alderasshole O’Shea to say anything.... Bout time for a Kedzie circle jerk with Father Faker. Keep voting for him you strokes.
Interesting o'shea police hater propaganda monger we have pro-police in this corner:
Ald. Sposato proposes ‘Lightfoot rule’ — 2-year ban on seeking political office
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/sposato-proposes-lightfoot-rule-two-year-ban-on-running-for-political-office-police-board-mayoral-election/
The aldermans spot on comment about Lori the scammer:
Sposato said it’s a “very safe assumption” he will not endorse Lightfoot, whom the alderman has branded “anti-police.”
So that leaves a few best choice for law and order and the taxpayers is without a doubt Vallas! When he was head of public schools always treated police with respect, and he has police in his family. You look at pandering rahm, the removing police retirees health care, shorting police pension funds, the huge sex scandal perpetuated upon "the children" at cps that is now exposed to sunshine, closing all the mental health centers allowing them no care he must go!
People talk about recent police shootings where police were confronted by high on drugs mentals, you have to wonder if the mental health centers were still opened would the offenders have been on proper mess and not attempting to kill police officers? The responsibility lays with the Ceo (rahm) and the board of directors (alderman) think if they had responsibility to the shareholders (taxpayers) and not running roughshod over everything we could make Chicago great again! If they were in private industry they would be thrown on the streets immediately!
To the police officers in 22 write his ass a DUI when he is driving drunk from his fav tavern on western
Disgusting.
Nothing will happen. You Mount greenwood/Beverly types are soft. You all talk a big game but none of you will act when it counts. The show will go on and the leftist agenda will be perpetuated. Watch!!
When there are no jobs, no hope, no change and continual pandering by politicians, there’s a movement or a play looking to place blame solely on the police.
Most these folks likely sponging money off of Rahm’s Cultural Affairs grants and the MacArthur Foundation to stay afloat and pay themselves under the guise of artful social justice awareness.
Thought:
I think that the one sided production was plagiarized from a 1961 off-Broadway one night bomb musical,
“This is My Lantern, Dude, Where’s My Cooler?”
The W.C. Coleman Story that chronicles his many haphazard midsummers nights with dim light, warm beer, gnats and nasty mosquitoes.
(Choreography by Zeke Fosse, Bob’s lesser known second cousin)
Perhaps the Coleman lantern in many ways was the precursor to the flying insect, blue light zapping device and eventually, the disruptive human taser.
Seemingly the yellow color of the taser device and blue lights of law and order attracts and influences unbecoming human behavior.
A crazy man cannot have intent (to commit crime) in Cook Co. and Cook Co is loaded with the crazy man.
Medical problems along with the physical necessity or restraint needed to seize the affected should be left to the medical professional with their methods. The misfortune of error lay entirely upon the police in every case.
Heed and don’t make medical problems your police problems.
“Tasered” shows there’s no logic anymore to protect lives or harm to onesself or others, even if the violent batter their own family that prompts police action to deal with an uncooperative combatant, later deemed by attorneys as “mentally ill”.
Stay fetal, work smart.
Gee, we should do what every other libtard does....get together and block the entrance of the playhouse with locked arms and see what happens. We will send our message just like they do. eye for eye tooth for tooth! Oh, make sure you cover your faces so they cant identify you !
OK...I'll meet you there a half hour before curtain time.
If I'm late start without me.
Sorry, SCC, but your logic is fundamentally flawed here: just because you personally disagree with/find the message of this play offensive doesn’t in any way mean that it should be “shutdown”. Likewise, the fact that Beverly and Mt. Greenwood both happen to be home to “hundreds of cops, firefighters, and their families,” some of whom may have helped support the BAC, literally has nothing to do with whether this play should be performed. It’s a play, which is obviously an exercise of free speech, so the analysis stops there. If you don’t like the message, don’t buy a ticket. Better yet: write, direct, and cast your own play with whatever message you find acceptable as a counter to this one.
And not that it really matters, but I’m one of those “hundreds,” I basically grew up in the BAC, and I’m an ardent supporter of law enforcement. Go figure.
If I was the coppers (mostly African American) involved in this farce, I'd sue both the creators and the theatre for hosting this. The Officers did NOTHING wrong and used minimal and necessary force to remove an active resistor from his holding cell for his his court appearance. This asshole attempted to harm his Mother and she was so terrified she jumped out a second story window, she signed the complaint to have his arrested. The tazing in the lockup had NOTHING to do with his death, which was caused by an injection he received at the hospital to calm him so that he didn't harm himself or the other hospital staff he was fighting with. The low information Black Community is being told this was a case of sadistic White Cops tazing a young Black Man to death, maybe Mary Mitchell would like to chime in, but won't because it doesn't fit the template of stupidity and ignorance that dictates her racist columns. "Yeah I Said It"
OSHA you are a disgrace to the area you represent to allow this anti police play to be presented in a area of cops and firemen who used to be your biggest supporters, RAPUBLICAN FROM NOW ON ,
Off subject, but the Trib has pussied up and cut off comments due to the fact (I am guessing) that most of them go against their journalistic bent>
"Tasered: The Philip Oliver Coleman Story” is a fictional adaptation, no?
TO: Now that the 25th dist has been bought up dont forget your capt harris and his propensity to run over school security guards
WoW, do tell..... Then again nothing would surprise me with him. He and Escamerit were hand in hand since they both got here (best bosses on the department in each others minds) then realized being passed over because he is associated with Tony, now it is "Don't ask me, not my decision, Cmdr is out of his mind micro-managing everyone...."
They DEMAND we use tazers INSTEAD of firearms.
They WIN their demand.
Now, the same crowd opposes - wait for it- USE of tazers!
For years they claimed nobody wanted to take your guns away, but now many have finally come to admit that yeah they really DO want to take guns away.
Likewise, those who just don't want black people arrested for ANY reason whatsoever, much less apprehended by force, are coming very close to admitting that fact outright.
As such, the REAL racism in our society is indeed revealing itself. Racists are exposing themselves day in and day out.
Residency should be demanded in this contract . They can have these so called " good neighborhoods" . Alderman O'shea and Beverly as a whole can suck on it when the good families have freedom to move out.

They should of never torn down Red’s for that dump.
6/13/2018 11:58:00 AM
Imagine Reds on a hot summer day or evening back in the day. Now imagine what Reds would be like in the present on a hot summer day or evening. Get the drift? Polar opposites. Rugai might have done the neighborhood a favor.
So let me get this straight, a Black Mother is being attacked by a Black Son and calls 911 and all Black Officers observe her sprawled out on the lawn after jumping out of an upstairs window to escape with her life.The Black Mother signs a complaint and the Black Son is arrested and ends up getting transported to the hospital for an evaluation,then attacks the Black Hospital Staff and sustains Black and Blue bruises from the struggle. The next day after causing hell at the hospital the night before he is asked by the Black Lockup Keeper to get ready for court and becomes abusive and none compliant,whereupon the Black Lockup Keeper calls for assistance from a group of all Black Officers and a White Sgt. To prevent injury to both the Offender and the gathered officers he is zapped once and only once to control him. His berserk behavior continues until,it's decided he needs to go to E/R. Where to prevent further injury to all involved he is administered a shot to calm him that unbeknownst to the Dr kills him by accident. Yet this is portrayed by a lying play write like a 1950's lynching by the Klan. Disgusting and Ald O'Shea should be disgusted by this.
I mean no malice or disrespect to the people of Mt. Greenwood or Beverly, but if you guys actually believe you will always be secure in your area, I think you all are sorely mistaken. Fort Apache is dwindling and eventually that last bastion of security is going to go bye-bye. I don't wish that on you, but Ray Charles could see it coming eventually.

You have the Internet.
You have a connection to the Internet.
You have the means.
Do you have the will to act upon your stated perspectives?
Oh, and these people you say you know so well? If they are not fully aware of what they are booking, they are stupid; if they are not stupid, they are deliberate in their choice.
Which are you thinking they are?
What do they say about the road to hell? It's paved with good intentions. LE should know this alreay. Usually anything to do with liberal arts is anti-cop. Stop enabling them. You give them a helping hand when they're trying to bite if off. They're going out of business? Too bad and there might be a valid reason.

This "play" is a lie, from beginning to end.
So, fuck off.
That was the short version.
Here's a slightly longer one.
Let us have a "play", at the BAC, that is not packed full of lies. A play that recreates the actual events so completely turned into lies, by liars, who lie for a purpose.
Is that purpose your purpose?
Are you so fundementally flawed as to actually spout the crap you spouted, the crap supporting lies, as if they are art? As if this taxpayer funded boondoggle of an " art's center" is supremely imbued with this thing you call free speech, which you have either no fucking clue what it actually is or you support using the freedom to speak as your means to lie.
So, your ardent support is found to be..... Feeble.
Oh, and are you authorized to approve this play, the one you suggest be written, to be actually performed at this bastion of free speech?
Or do you already know that your suggestion/challenge is just more of your feeble?
Fucking smarmy "artists".

It’s a play, which is obviously an exercise of free speech, so the analysis stops there. If you don’t like the message, don’t buy a ticket. Better yet: write, direct, and cast your own play with whatever message you find acceptable as a counter to this one.
And not that it really matters, but I’m one of those “hundreds,” I basically grew up in the BAC, and I’m an ardent supporter of law enforcement. Go figure.

NOT SCC HERE, but I have to argue with this. Retired P/O and a fairly prolific writer myself. Have had multiple published articles and a handful of plays at small, Chicago specific theaters. Fronted an idea for a play that basically told the real story of Jon Burge. NOBODY would even consider it. So all your crap about "write your own play" is a bunch of bullshit, because if liberal "actors" wont accept it, it never sees the light of day!

They tore down one of the best hamburger stands in the city, Reds, to make way for the Beverly Arts Center. I rarely do there but after this anti-cop play, I will make it a point to never go there
6/13/2018 02:00:00 PM
You're absolutely right. I spent more time at Reds than the original Beverly Arts Center east of Western. Still infuriated that they tore down Reds which was a neighborhood treasure. I haven't spent a dime or set foot in the new Beverly Arts Center.
Rather have a double double than a ticket to this bullshit play.

Remember Rham "the rat" gave 250,000 of TIF money to the Beverly Arts Center the 19th Ward failure a half a mile from the Buona Beef stand at 107th and Western Ave who also got 250,000 of TIF funds too. Why did either of these two get our tax funds AKA TIF funds? Both private entities and Rham donors and Chicago failures.
6/13/2018 10:59:00 AM
Those two snot nosed punks at Buona Beef got $ 250,000.00 in taxpayer TIF money? They hosed and insulted two union men who were picketing when they built non-union. They had a lot of insulting things to say about working class union people. Don't patronize them. In addition, they had a major Sexual Harassment case in front of the EEOC that they lost. So I'd think twice before ever letting any women in my family work for or patronize this place.
So Rahm gave these anti union sexist assholes taxpayer money, that came from union households and women across the city. Remember this when you go out to vote. BTW, just to clarify, I'm not a progressive, but have no issue calling out assholes like the Buona Bros.
"Merit: The Anthony Escamilla Story"
---------------------------
I called tickettron, They said that the Baton added 4 shows and they sold out in ten minutes. Seen a ticket scalper, he had ticket' but standing room at $250.00 a pop is way out of line. He said a seat is going for $600.00. Anthony is up for a Oscar the word is.
I heard the true story of Anthony brought people to tears. The male impersonator Josh-Ann that plays Anthony is a spitting imagine of the real Anthony.
You 025 guys are responsible for the prices to see this show being unattainable. You made Anthony a hit in his sad and enduring story of life delearing with minion copper' and aldermen. I say Bravo !! Bravo !! Clark street is alive again with Anthony at the Baton.
We all lost man' country, and still are feeling the aftereffect of this. It was planning a show, The Rahm and Barry story. Some crook from Hollywood ran off with all the casting monies. He was a kin of Rahm who books all the stars in Hollywood.
If you minions- 025 crews, can come up with two tickets for a broke retired copper with no health insurance please list it here.
OSHA you are a disgrace to the area you represent to allow this anti police play to be presented in a area of cops and firemen who used to be your biggest supporters, RAPUBLICAN FROM NOW ON ,

It's O'Shea. And he's been a disgrace long before this. Good luck getting a RAPUBLICAN to replace him though. There should be an IQ test to vote and to get access to the internet.
Sorry, SCC, but your logic is fundamentally flawed here: just because you personally disagree with/find the message of this play offensive doesn’t in any way mean that it should be “shutdown”. Likewise, the fact that Beverly and Mt. Greenwood both happen to be home to “hundreds of cops, firefighters, and their families,” some of whom may have helped support the BAC, literally has nothing to do with whether this play should be performed. It’s a play, which is obviously an exercise of free speech, so the analysis stops there. If you don’t like the message, don’t buy a ticket.

This exercise in free speech is racism and lies disguised as art. It portrays whites, police in particular, as murderers of the poor, innocent, black man. It furthers a false narrative that is costing police and citizen lives, endangering the welfare and property of good citizens. If you're such an "ardent supporter of law enforcement" and proponent of free speech, maybe you should protest the message of this play. Maybe you shouldn't buy a ticket to this particular play. Your suggestion that SCC should write a play that counters this one's message is really clever. Maybe a play that really shows how the "community" behaves and fails at every aspect of contributing to society would be a good choice. Surely that would be welcomed with praise and admiration, and be an example of free speech and art. No one would violently protest that play. Thanks for supporting law enforcement in your mind. It really helps us out here in reality. Supporting law enforcement means opposing those who falsely portray law enforcement as a bunch of racist murderers. By the way, a particular theater has a choice as to which plays it hosts. It isn't about free speech. Freedom of speech means you can write the play and perform it. It doesn't mean every theater, or a particular theater, has to allow it on their stage. That's the issue here, which you failed to understand.

Ive never given a dime to support the arts. Why should I pay money to free up a bunch of Marxist assholes to dribble out their idiotic philosophies which are nothing but grandstanding and assorted jagoffery.
Yeah they talk that shit about free speech and the first amendment as long as your holding up a recreation of Trumps severed head but walk into their hedonistic lifestyle with anything near a conservative opinion and watch the tribe close ranks and drive you out. How many actors that wear MAGA hats get work? How many painters, musicians, sculptors, writers....ect with conservative views get work?
In a Land where hypocritical assholes hold sway these so called "artists" are the biggest assholes of them all. Actually a lot of professions could be called so.
They are about as freedom of expression loving as Stalin was.

***************************
I guess you missed the part where I said I’m one of the “hundreds”, so I think i do a little more than support law enforcement “in my mind”. Good try, though.
And I perfectly understand what the issue is: you and many others commenting find the message of the play offensive because, as you argue, it furthers a racist narrative based on lies and, to add insult to injury, the theater where the play will be performed happens to be in a neighborhood that’s heavily populated by CPD/CFD. The problem with this is that the BAC doesn’t exist to cater to a particular mindset or worldview; it exists to foster the arts, which are as complex and divergent as anything else in life and are often intended to provoke a visceral response, to make you feel uncomfortable in order to convey its message. In that way, I guess you could say that the mission statement of arts centers like the BAC is to disrupt the silo effect of our social media bubbles/safe spaces where we only hear and see the things that reinforce our already-held beliefs by offering us the opportunity to confront that with which we disagree or don’t understand.
In any event, based on your not-so-subtle dog whistle comment about the efficacy of doing “a play that really shows how the ‘community’ behaves and fails at every aspect of contributing to society,” I’m sure you took equal offense at the efforts to ban Steve Bannon from speaking at the University of Chicago earlier this year or at the protests that erupt nearly every time Milo Yiannopoulos is invited to speak somewhere, right??
So yeah, the issue here is pretty simple: you don’t like the message of the play and you think that the BAC shouldn’t allow it to be performed on its stage because you see it as an invasion of your safe space. Well the great thing is that the solution is also pretty simple: if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen, or just don’t come in it at all. The choice is entirely yours, but I’m pretty that the BAC is going to continue doing what it does regardless.
I'm a cop supporter, CFD here. Edison Park though. Here is my two cents: did you even read the script before fucking bashing it? I mean come on you don't know what they portray unless you've read or seen it. If its anti police fuck em but maybe the play shows two perspectives and lets the viewer decide. Picketing and moaning is as bad as snowflakes protesting campus republican/far right speakers.

To the simple of mind, all is simple, or simplified to be simple.
Thus, you.
So many, many, many words leading up to your simple, simple mind's conclusion.
You truly are simple, and, thus, transparent to those actually cognizant of the complexities of which you spout and no nothing of.
And the awsome defending of the right to lie, well, what else could you do? Oh yeah, it's "art", uh huh. And my farts are gaseous symphonies sent from the gods.
Just drop the assinine nonsense that you are a supporter of law enforcement.
There are two things you support:
Your own simple self.
&
Your own delicate, fragile, baby shit brained ego obsession with denying just where you are: Embodied in flesh, doomed to suffer and then die.
And all your wimperings won't spare you from that, not even your precious, precious, oh so precious illusions of superior artistic talent.
You are meat. Meat is all you are.
Now go beat yourself.

Read the script?
Gee, how did you manage that?
Is it online, availible for the public to read?
If so, provide the link(s).
If not, then, how did you manage to read it?
Oh, you haven't read it?
Gee, that makes sense.
And you don't know how one could get to read it?
Fantastic.
So, to you, only by going to see this play can the result of having an informed opinion on it be accomplished, yes?

Hustling the community.

No, sweetie. The issue is that you cited freedom of speech as the reason it should be performed at the BAC. You failed to acknowledge that it's not a free speech issue. Is the BAC a government entity? Do their choices in which art they allow at their center depend upon the constitution? Are they forbidden from preventing a particular play from being performed at their theater? The point, which was rather obvious, is that they have a choice as to which plays they allow on their stage. Since they have a choice, the community that supported them, has the right(that freedom of speech thing you referenced) to express their displeasure at which plays they choose. I don't need a safe space, because I'm not part of your butthurt generation. You are free to say and think whatever you wish around me, and it won't bother me one bit. It will just let me know who you are. As for your hot kitchen analogy, did you somehow get the impression that I would be attending this play? I made my choice on that one already. As for the BAC doing what it does, let's see how long they last by alienating the community that previously supported them. Your Steve Bannon and Milo bait doesn't affect me either. I don't give a shit what either of them has to say. I care even less about what those who whine about their opinions have to say. The only thing I could possibly care less about is when an obvious liberal like yourself claims to support law enforcement. You can't actually support us while having the opinions you shared here. You like to say you support us, and you probably think you do, but it's obvious to us that you don't. Keep your support and enjoy your play. I'm sure it will be a big hit. The BAC is known across the globe as the mecca of great theater. Be careful as you're leaving the play though. The "community" to the east of Western doesn't care that you donated to BLM and BAC. They'll victimize you just the same.

6/14/2018 01:17:00 PM
Here's my four cents, because it's at least twice as valuable as your nonsense: I don't need to read Colin Kaepernick's autobiography to know what views he has on certain subjects. I don't need to be interviewed by COPA to know they want me to lose my job. I don't need to have Farrakhan over for dinner to realize he doesn't like me. Certain things are obvious without firsthand experience. The very fact that someone would choose this subject at this time tells me all I need to know about the play. I don't need to read anything or attend the play. I don't need to meet the playwright or the actors. I don't need to hear reviews from the media. I know enough already. "Picketing and moaning" against a particular play at a particular community theater is far more effective than liberal snowflakes protesting some speaker on their campus. If I stand at a local university with a "Trump Sucks" sign, that's not effective. If I stand in front of a specific theater showing a specific play, and inform potential customers about the lies and stupidity being portrayed in that play, I'll have a much bigger impact. Have you ever wanted to see a particular movie, but then someone told you something about that movie, and you decided not to see it? If not, I'm sure you'll acknowledge that does happen. If protesting drives potential customers away, or at least informs them about the trash they're about to see, that's a win. If the BAC chooses not to show the play, that's a win.
And you, of all others, have not made a trip to Florida, have you?
Boycotting a non existent chow hole is all you got.

3. Triggering the inane addiction to those brain juices that are released, when dummies who'd never, ever dare to actually do anything, but crave those juices of superior outrage they can indulge in, in the safety of their not at all humble abodes.
And, what is the least bit controversial about this piece of performance propaganda? It conforms thoroughly to the targeted audience's mentally ill delusions, which are far too numerous to enumerate.
You think a truly controversial play, one that, literally, states that thing that gives even the most hardy democrat imbecile the conniptions, the truth, would ever be allowed to perform at this particular venue?
Now, that, would be a controversy.

No one from Beverly will go to this...at least no one I know. It will be attended by some MP residents and some who live east of Wood Street after they have dinner at Home Run Inn and leave no tip.
I have donated to BAC and BAPA in the past but I will not moving forward. Community support drying up will have a greater impact than any protest. Unbelievable that they thought this bullshit would fly.
