Green shirt guy's response was perfect.

(129,055 posts)2. I was wondering what the context was for green shirt guy
An animated gif version of that guy has been all over the place for the past couple months - notably on twitter responses to GOP loons.
Here is an article about where this came from and the incident -
'Green shirt guy' goes viral over reaction to 'sanctuary city' heckler

An angry protest about a proposed "sanctuary city" measure led to a lot of laughs for one man at a city council meeting in Tucson, Arizona.
When a protester wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and a pink "Best" tank top at the Tuesday meeting started yelling "respect our laws" while holding up a sign saying "Respect our laws or we will deport you," a man wearing a green polo shirt in the row in front of her started laughing uncontrollably.
He continued laughing hysterically as the woman and another protester were escorted out of the meeting and his amusement quickly went viral. A video of the incident taken by KVOA reporter Nick VinZant had been retweeted almost 8,000 times and racked up over 39,000 likes by Wednesday afternoon.
#GreenShirtGuy was later identified as an activist and comedian named Alex Kack. Kack told the website Mashable he was laughing at "just how absurd it really all was." "Who has the time in their day to come into a public space just to spread hatred and negativity? Like honestly what happened that made them so ridiculous and hateful?" Kack said.

I kept seeing the pic without knowing what happened to cause the viral guffaw... I thought he was at some kind of sporting event on the sidelines or something.
