The Garden Theatre in Houston is facing national backlash after they staged a mock assassination of President-Elect Donald Trump.
The theatre was performing “Assassins,” a show that depicts the assassinations and attempted assassinations of presidents through history.
An actor resembling Trump, dressed in a blue suit and wearing a red hat, walks onto the stage. The actors, all armed with guns, fire their weapons. The room turns blood-red and then, the show concludes.
Logan Vaden, the company’s founding artistic director, defended the production.
“I made the choice in the last 30 seconds of our production to include the assassination attempt of Donald Trump,” he admitted in a Facebook post. “I do not feel the need to go into great detail about the artistic decision that was made, other than it elaborated on the topic of shameful political violence we have always seen.”
If that’s the case, why did the audience cheer when the stage version of Trump was gunned down?
I guess the bloodlust of Vaden and his merry band of gun-toting thespians was not satisfied by the real-life attempts on Trump’s life.
Vaden got especially triggered when critics posted angry messages on social media — and now he’s claiming to be a victim.
He blamed “right-wing social media groups” for sending death threats against the cast and crew.
“All threats against any person involved in our production are being recorded and submitted to the FBI,” he wrote. “These threats are unacceptable and are being treated as true threats.”

And then give the perpetrator a job cleaning restrooms for a penny an hour.
It was not an artistic decision meant to elaborate on shameful political violence. It was pure advocative political violence intent on inciting some poor demented schmuck to try assassination for a third time. The director should be charged with incitement.
Find out who is paying the freight for their fun times and light them up.
Yes!!!! Shouldn’t be surprised since Houston is a blue city and it certainly isn’t the town I grew up in......;(
I wonder if they've ever done it to a half-white president...
And if the uprising the Democrats seem to be pushing for begins I’ll bet after the first shot is fired all of them pushing for this will head back to mommy’s basement.
There seem to be a lot on the demonrat side who think deadly weapons work only in one direction.
Meanwhile, the FIB investigates the false flags of “right-wing” criticism on “social media” and not Darth Vaden himself.
LOL “peaceful coexistence”.
Laws apparently never apply to them.
Does this outfit get any public money?
BTTT
Yep, I remember the rodeo clown "triggering" all sorts of humorless people. The seasonal "Chia Pet" shaped like the Magic Mulatto was similarly verboten. Of course, there was no concern over the Trump version (they'll probably re-release it now).
LIAR. (in my opinion)
He probably was stroking himself as he fantasized about killing President Trump and thought he could get away with writing about it by calling it ‘art’. Also, these unbalanced cowards do things like this to give ideas to others.
I wasn’t calling you a liar! I was referring to the guy who wrote the play and didn’t finish my post - missing this part:
“I made the choice in the last 30 seconds of our production to include the assassination attempt of Donald Trump,” he admitted in a Facebook post.”
Clearly your post was not directed to me.

I hadn’t finished my post but posted it accidentally - I am so just incensed by these people!!! This guy needs to get a visit from the SS - the left sure loved sending them to Republicans at a microscopic slight.
