How much anger, hate and vitriol does it take from the progressive Left until someone gets hurt? How many Hollywood celebrities have to hold up bloody heads representing Donald Trump before one of their minions go ballistic? How often do they get to rage like deranged manics –
 

“[O]r pick up a baseball bat and take out every f*cking republican and independent I see #f*cktrump, #f*cktheGOP, #f*ckstraightwhiteamerica and “#f*ckyourprivilege.”
~ Lea DeLaria (“Orange is the New Black” star) last November

 
– until some psychotic acolyte takes them literally?
 
Well now we know don’t we?!

A gunman believed to be a supporter of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders sprayed a hail of bullets at a GOP baseball practice Wednesday morning, critically wounding House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and injuring four others before U.S. Capitol Police took down the rifle-wielding assailant.

In an eerily prescient article published this morning before the attack, Al Perrotta (writing at The Stream) describes the latest, “creative” production from New York-based Public Theater, a re-make of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar,” in which the title character has been replaced with a Donald Trump look-a-like – and subjected to the same gory death. How entertaining! (CNN’s Fareed Zakaria calls it a “masterpiece.” 😯 )
The play just opened last night ~

As Fox News noted, Trump finds himself “brutally stabbed to death by women and minorities.” That’s playing to the pent-up rage of a Manhattan crowd. Or as the Times euphemistically put it, “preaching to the choir.” David Marcus of The Federalist wonders if “Eustis and his collaborators thought New York City’s left-leaning audiences of Shakespeare in the Park would get a kick out of seeing Trump stabbed to death onstage by angry black people.” (He hopes this isn’t the case.)

 
Breitbart recounts 15 incidents celebrity incitement of violence against Republicans – especially against Trump – within the past two years. You no doubt recall a few of these esteemed personalities, gracing us with their disgusting antics ~
 

• Madonna – “I’ve thought a lot about blowing up the White House.”
• Robert De Niro: “I’d Like to Punch Him in the Face”
• Joss Whedon: “I Want a Rhino to F*ck Paul Ryan to Death”
• David Simon: “Pick Up a G*ddamn Brick” if Trump Fires Robert Mueller
• Marilyn Manson Kills ‘Trump’ in Music Video
• Kathy Griffin ‘Beheads’ Trump in Graphic Photo

 
Charming aren’t they? So much for the civil society. They’re turning our fellow citizens into mind-numbed savages.
 
Perrotta sums things up nicely ~

If the world is a stage, what kind of players are we when we envision and mimic the violent demise of our democratically leader? What spirit do we invite? What responsibility do we bear? “The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves.”
