CHICAGO (CBS) A fourth member of Second Citys ETC revue quit after multiple occurrences of offensive behavior from audiences.
33-year-old Peter Kim told WBBM that audiences here in Chicago and across the country where he has toured, seem to feel emboldened by the no-holds-bars, speak-your-mind style of Donald Trump.
I really think he gave people carte blanche to act and behave hateful, Kim said. Kim said audiences have gotten more abusive in the past year and has heard people use the f word, alluding to a slur against gays.
The straw that broke the camels back for me was a man was sitting next to a Hispanic couple, Kim said. We asked a question to another lady, completely different lady, we said, Hey, maam, what is something small that pisses you off, like getting stuck in traffic.'
The man, unsolicited, screamed out, Sitting too close to a Mexican, while sitting next to a Hispanic couple.
Kim said there was another time he felt physically threatened by a man who got too close to the stage.

In other words, people are pushing back when the “cast” insults them.
George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy, Redd Fox, and Rodney Dangerfield would have rolled with the banter and gave as good as they got. Toss in Seinfeld, and Dave Chappele too.
I guess this is the equal and opposite reaction to the unreasonable force used by ‘tolerance’ commandos to bend knees.
Everybody’s trying to be funny, just like the “comedians” at Second City. Don’t they make the same type of jokes?
Peter Kim should go to Sweden. Their snowflake culture would probably suit him better than the US does. On second thought, maybe Germany is where he should go, there they can throw people in jail for saying mean words to snowflakes.
Our forefathers would be aghast at what we tolerate in this over-PCd society. We have two choices before us, either embrace the Social Justice Warriors, and the tyranny they want to impose, or fight back. It’s now or never, if we don’t push back, they’ll fundamentally alter our society, and ultimately destroy it.
Vote Trump.
GREAT SIGN!
Leftist “comedy attempters” who attack and slander Christians, conservatives, and this great country are finally getting push back by audiences who don’t find the hateful attacks funny.
BTW, I think these two losers were the most unfunny of the troupe. This is the “You can’t fire me. I quit!.” excuse.
What a Pussy! Sorry Admin Moderator. No other word for these morons!
They want us to be like Canada, where the only people you can make fun of, are white Christians.
What actually offends these snowflakes is that people with differing viewpoints have the same 1st amendment rights they do.
You forgot Don Rickles
A 33 year old snowflake.
Mr Kim, I highly doubt that you, your father and both of your grandfathers have one functioning testicle amongst the four of you.
Two words of advice:
RICKLES
DON RICKLES
Are you a Maple flag back-bacon hater?!
Trump and the silent majority: `We’re all outta chewing gum.’
A hundred years ago audiences would throw rotten vegetables and fruits at acts that they didn’t like. That must have been the fault of Trumps ancestors.
SJWs can dish it out but can’t take it.
Which one? I can think of two without any effort. And thought of a third and fourth while typing this.
Does the flit not like fairy or faggot or fag? Or am I missing one?
I miss the good old days... when comedians were actually funny and smart, and would put offensive hecklers into the hall of shame with their rapier wit.
Nowadays they have to run to their safe place and cry.
They do not seem to be aware of the fact that cursing and running down people is not humor. In the days of real humor it was not at the expense of another person.
Had t walk out of an act in Vegas because instead of being humorous he was revolting.
another snowflake feels threatened?
