LOS ANGELES (CBSNewYork/AP) — Theaters in New Brunswick, New Jersey and Staten Island have called off Kathy Griffin shows five months in advance.

The State Theatre New Jersey canceled Griffin’s performance set for Nov. 3 “after careful consideration of recent events and for the safety of our patrons.” The move comes after an image posted on social media Tuesday showed her holding what looked like the bloody, severed head of President Donald Trump.

The St. George Theatre on Staten Island also called of a show for Nov. 2.

Hey, I’m just a comedian. Bloody decapitated heads are funny when you hold them up with a cold, evil, soulless stare. At least I always found them to be...

HA!!! I called the St George’s Theater on Tuesday and told them I wanted a refund for my tickets for the Griffin show on Nov 2nd (i really didn’t have tickets- just wanted to call and ask for a refund)...some condescending girl said “there will be no refund of tickets and the show is not going to be cancelled!!”

I told her fine- we’ll just take matters into our own hands and yell obscenities throughout the show...i told everyone in my office to call...

“...for the safety of our patrons...”

Whoever provides a venue for her to perform might as well be standing next to her in that photo, helping her hold Trump's head.

Good luck living that down, Mr. or Ms. Venue Owner.

Free speech does not mean consequence-free speech.

That’s my point... Even “not exactly Trump country” won’t touch her.

She irradiated herself.

I think the expression you are looking for is this.

“I might not kick her out of bed for eating crackers, but she sh!t the bed. Done with her.”

Chuckle...

I first saw her on a Seinfeld episode many years ago. I didn’t find her funny at all.

Now she’s just pathetic and sick.
