Comic assaulted by heckler; cops refuse to press charges

July 14, 2012 By Kathy Shaidle

We live in a heckling culture!!

Now, you can throw a glass at a comedian with no ramifications? George Carlin was made famous by his “Seven Words” bit. Maybe in this day and age society, you can get together and let comedians know the 7 topics that you won’t censor. How about if we talk about lint? Oh no. I am sure that there is a lint society. What about clouds then? Absolutely not, cumulous’ have been through too much!

And as far as heckling is concerned– consider a professional sporting event. If I don’t like how the team is playing and I think I can do better, do I just jump down on the field and take the ball? NO – because I will get arrested. Thrown out of the stadium and fines imposed.

Comedy is or maybe WAS the last bastion of free speech. Who will standup for the standups?
