      There were news stories about whether he was going to be charged. But, for what?

      What he did is very clearly first-amendment protected speech. He could be fired, sure. He could be blacklisted as a performer, with nobody wanting to take a chance that he’d disrupt their performance. That’s perfectly fair. But, it would be absurd to say that he broke a law.

      Then again, we live in pretty absurd times.
