I’m thinking of writing an opera called “Why Michael Brown Deserved to Die.”
Allen B. West ^ | 8/25/14 | Michele Hickford

What do you think? Do you think if I write a thought-provoking, probingly-artistic contemporary opera on the subject of Michael Brown’s untimely shooting, it will be met with critical acclaim?

Maybe it will be performed by the New York Metropolitan Opera during its 2015 season, and will be described as “dialogue” on a difficult subject.

You don’t think so? I can’t imagine why.

It seems right in line with what the Met has planned this year with “The Death of Klinghofer.” You remember Leon Klinghofer, don’t you? He was the 69-year-old Jewish man who, in 1985, was pushed off the cruise ship Achille Lauro to his death by Palestinian terrorists. Pushed into the water in his wheelchair. Because he was Jewish.

The opera portrays this murder as justified, not only because of Palestinian grievances against Israel, but also by the alleged evil and exploitative actions of Jews against others around the world.

Or how about, “How Mike Brown screwed his own life up. REALLY SCREWED IT UP.”.

If Brown had not been (correctly) killed by a white cop, he surely would have been offed by one of his own kind.

Ain’t (the thug) life grand?

Michael Brown had a Hoss Cartwright body without the Hoss Cartwright demeanor ...Hoss was not a bully...Michael was.

I’m thinking of writing a musical called “I’m About To Whip Somebody’s Ass”, based on the song of the same name.

“Don’t get involved with Jugaloos.”

But! Butt! They’d make the perfect “spear carriers!”

How can someone legally write a opera about a private citizen?
He was not a public figure ?

They wrote an opera about Trayvon.

Why not Brown? And Michael Brown ceased to be a private citizen shortly after his death.

The article isn’t about Brown. It just uses Brown as a rhetorical device.

To draw attention to the resurgent and growing anti semitism by Western elites.

I’m apalled by the notion that Klinghofers death is being glorified with his executioners portrayed as heroes. I remember too well the horror of the Achile Lauro hijacking, but also the immense pride when REAGAN sent the 6th Fleet to successfully capture the hijackers.

(and I still damn the Italians for not turning them over to us)

But the evil parents of those two thugs are milking that racist baiting scam.
that is different.

This guy was murdered by terrorists.
His family can stop this illegal use of the dead man name and imagine.
Its just strange .

I would sue the Met and the production companies...anyone involved.

Does the Met Board of Directors allow this outrageous event!
