I can’t recall which Shakespear character said this, but I think it was in “Julius Ceasar.” The woman says to her son, “There are two ways to become famous. One is to kill someone famous.” (Yes, I butchered that. Kill me in the comments.)

My point is, in today’s world anyone famous is in danger. John Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman. We’d have no idea who Chapman was except for that, and I believe that was his motive. People commit mass murder just for the notoriety, even though they plan on committing suicide. So, where’s the logic? It’s a screwed-up world. The few times I’ve seen someone famous, I stay away just for their privacy.

Sounds like something from the Richard Burton movie about Alexander the Great, while someone was planning the murder of Phillip.

I don’t give two craps about the “safety” of leftist entertainers… That’s on them and they have lots of money to hire security. These people live their lives by putting themselves into the public forum, nagging and shaming us plebes, pushing destructive ideals, definitively voting the wrong way and then think they can just live a normal everyday existence? They ASKED for the bs from “fans”.

Plus, crackhead Barney doesn’t appear to have much space to hide a weapon anyways. Her weapon is the phone and a TikTok account.

Good luck with the next lawsuit Arec!

“. . . John Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman. We’d have no idea who Chapman was except for that, and I believe that was his motive. People commit mass murder just for the notoriety . . .”

Excerpt:

. . . Chapman had been a fan of the Beatles, but was incensed by Lennon’s lavish lifestyle and public statements, such as his remark about the band being “more popular than Jesus” and the lyrics of two of his later songs “God” and “Imagine”.
