THE SEASON
PREMIERE OF DANCING WITH THE
STARS JUST HAPPENED, AND WHILE RYAN LOCHTE WAS ON STAGE, PEOPLE
BOMBARDED THE STAGE AND GOT ARRESTED WHILE HE WAS ON STAGE.
>>EXCUSE ME.
EXCUSE ME.
>> THERE IT IS PROTESTERS COME ONTO THE STAGE.
THEY ARE GRABBED
BY SECURITY.
EVERYONE SEEMS
SHOCKED.
>> WE WILL TAKE A BREAK, WE HAVE OUT THE REST OF THE JUDGES
COMMENTS.
TAKE A DEEP BREATH, WE WILL BE RIGHT BACK.
>> WAS AT ALEX JONES?
>>WHAT?
DIDN'T PRODUCERS LEAVE THOSE PEOPLE ONTO THAT STAGE?
>> WHY IS DANCING WITH THE STARS SO TRIGGERED?
>>I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE SO UPSET.
ANYWAY, WHO CARES ABOUT
THAT PIECE OF SHIT.
TWO PROTESTERS WENT ONTO THE STAGE
AND GOT ARRESTED IMMEDIATELY.
THERE WERE ALSO TWO WOMEN IN THE
AUDIENCE WEARING ANTI- LOCHTE T-SHIRTS, THEY ALSO GOT
KICKED
OUT.
MAYBE THEY DID SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T KNOW ABOUT, AND
THAT'S THE REASON?
>> THEY ARE AFRAID THEY ARE GOING TO DO IT NEXT BECAUSE THEY
ARE ALL WEARING THE SAME
T-SHIRTS.
WHO IS THIS MOVE BY
RYAN LOCHTE?
THESE ARE GROWN ASS
MAN.
WHEN I FIRST SAW THE HEADLINE I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING
TO BE KIDS DOING IT TO GET
ATTENTION.
THE TWO GUYS ARRESTED ARE A 48-YEAR-OLD AND A
40-YEAR-OLD.
THE NAMES SOUND MIDDLE EASTERN, I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THEIR BACKGROUND IS, BUT YOU ARE A MIDDLE EASTERN DUDE
THAT IS GOING TO BUM RUSH THE STAGE IN THIS KIND OF
ATMOSPHERE?
AND A 48-YEAR-OLD DUDE IS THIS UPSET THAT RYAN
LOCHTE MADE UP A STORY IN BRAZIL.
THERE'S SOMETHING WEIRD GOING ON IN THE STORY.
>>IT COULD BE A PUBLICITY STUNT.
I ALSO THINK PEOPLE ARE JUST
ANGRY AND THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO GET INVOLVED IN.
MAYBE THIS IS THEIR OUTLET.
>> I DON'T KNOW.
BY THE WAY, LATER LOCHTE SAID HE WAS ROBBED
BY THE GUYS AT GUNPOINT.
THAT DID NOT HAPPEN.
YOU SAY PEOPLE
ARE ANGRY, NOW I AM GOING TO MAKE WAY TOO MUCH OUT OF THIS
STORY.
SOMETIMES I LIKE TALKING ABOUT THE GREAT UNRAVELING.
WHEN
BREXIT HAPPENED I SAID HERE WE GO.
THINGS START TO EVOLVE A
LITTLE BIT.
YES, BREXIT IS HUGE AND LATELY HAS BEEN GOING
MORE RIGHT-WING.
NOW, WE USED TO HAVE RULE AND ORDER [VIDEO
BUFFERING] AND PEOPLE JUST WANT THE ATTENTION, AND THERE IS NO
CONSEQUENCES.
>>HERE'S WHAT I HAVE NOTICED.
THERE USED TO BE CIVIL BEHAVIOR
EVEN WHEN YOU DISAGREED WITH
SOMEONE.
THAT CIVIL BEHAVIOR HAS BEEN THROWN OUT COMPLETELY THIS
YEAR.
PEOPLE ARE VICIOUS TOWARD ONE ANOTHER, PEOPLE WILL
LITERALLY TAKE ON A PROFESSION
OF TROLLING TO MAKE MONEY.
THEY SAY THINGS THEY DON'T MEAN AND
GET REWARDED FOR IT.
WE VENTURED THIS WEIRD AGE WERE BEING CIVIL,
LOGICAL, RATIONAL, REASONABLE IS A LIABILITY MORE THAN ANYTHING.
IF YOU WANT TO COME AT A POLITICAL TOPIC OR ISSUE FROM A
LOGICAL, WELL REASONED PERSPECTIVE, YOU ARE BOUGHT OFF,
YOU ARE A DICK.
BUT IF YOU COME AT SOMETHING FROM AN EMOTIONAL
STANDPOINT THAT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE WHATSOEVER THEN YOU
HAVE THE BALLS TO BE HONEST.
THAT IS WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW
AND IT IS THE MOST FRUSTRATING THING.
>>AND THE MORE OFFENSIVE YOU ARE, YOU ARE A HERO.
THE TROLLS
STARTED ONLINE.
I LOVE THE INTERNET.
THE INTERNET MADE US.
THE INTERNET IS OUR HOME.
L AS AN OUTSIDER PERSPECTIVE TO BE
BROUGHT TO YOU IN A WAY THAT YOU
NEVER HAD AN OPPORTUNITY BEFORE.
IT WAS ALSO THE HOME AND THE
BEGINNING OF THE TROLLS.
BUT NOW THEY ARE IN THE REAL WORLD.
REAL
LIFE TROLLS, AND THEY HAVE COME
OUT FROM UNDER THE BRIDGE.
NOW THAT THE TROLLS ARE AMONG US, IT
IS A WEIRD PLACE TO BE.
AND THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF ANARCHY
THAT IS BEGINNING TO SPREAD.
AND THE CANDIDATE DONALD J TROLL IS
ENCOURAGING ALL OF THIS.
IS NOT SURPRISING.
I KNOW WE ARE MAKING A MOUNTAIN OUT OF A MOLE HELL, WE ARE
JUST SAYING IT IS SYMBOLIC OF OTHER THINGS THAT ARE ALSO
HAPPENING IN THE COUNTRY.
>> IT'S PART OF A PATTERN THAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED THROUGHOUT THIS
YEAR.
IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA TO ENCOURAGE THAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR
WHEN WE ARE ALSO LIVING IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT OF PARANOIA, AND THE SEA OF GUNS.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
THIS IS ALL GOING TO END UP.
I AM AT THIS WEIRD STAGE WHERE I
DON'T KNOW IF TELLING THE TRUTH IS A GOOD THING, OR IF IT'S A
LIABILITY.
IF YOU WANT TO BE LIKED RIGHT NOW YOU JUST HAVE TO
LIVE.
I DON'T BUY INTO THAT.
I AM JUST HOPING THAT THE END THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN THE
TRUTH ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO COME OUT ON TOP.
