Ariel Elias, Comedian, handled this like a boss (heckled/assaulted by a Trumplican):

1. I'm glad her aim was as shitty as she is. And these goat fucking ghouls claim to

be victims all the time.

[calimary]

4. Oh yes, they're the "real victims here".

But add “My ASS!” to it and you wind up with an accurate statement.

[KPN]

29. Actually, they are and will continue to be the "victims" of mindful

peoples’ ire, disdain and repudiation … because (1) we thoughtful people outnumber them by far and will continue to do so, (2) we thoughtful people are right and truly are the champions of freedom and justice, and (3) they see themselves as “victims” … because they know both 1 and 2 despite not liking it and know, therefore, that they are ultimately screwed.

2. WTF?

If this has been Biden voters doing this to a Trump supporting comedian it would be headline news across the country about the “intolerant left!” You’ve got an increasingly violent and dangerous Republican Party base and people want to play both siderism. This was disgusting and sick.

[Timeflyer]

6. Absodamnlutely.

[vlyons]

12. plus it could have injured her

Not that the thrower gave a damn about that.

[Initech]

13. What you said!

[Historic NY]

3. WOW

[Celerity]

5. they are only going to get worse, more antagonistic, more violent, especially in Red areas where

they have strength in numbers numerical advantages

[Liberal In Texas]

7. The Orange Goblin gives them permission (in their heads) to act this way.

They hate us and literally want to see us all dead.

Just finished Malcolm Nance's latest book "They Want to Kill Americans." Very scary. They think violence is acceptable to get Trump back in office. They think they're going to have a mass killing of Democrats at some point.

[grumpyduck]

8. So my question is,

why did she go to a comedy club in the first place?

Asshole.

[magicarpet]

9. That looked like a full container of beer bounced,...

... off the wall. If that had hit her in the head it would have been a nasty and dangerous assault.

[Bo Zarts]

17. I think it was an assault without hitting her ..

[crickets]

21. Agreed. The can smacked the wall HARD. (eta)

It was aimed at head height. Had it connected, she could have been seriously injured. The person who did that should have been arrested. It was mentioned in the comments that the club did identify the thrower and is pressing charges. Good for them. That kind of violence is unacceptable.

33. Good!

[aeromanKC]

10. Attempted felony assault.

[Grins]

16. YES!!! Forget all that other shit. Arrest that guy!

Press charges and put him in jail, post his mug shot and send copies of it to his employer and family, and post all on social media! This is FAFO time.

[Evergreen Emerald]

22. attempted assault is an assault.

That person should have been arrested.

[oldsoftie]

11. Well I hope SOMETHING was done to that DICK.

At the very least tossed from the club with a small beatdown by security.

[orleans]

14. the club is in new jersey (according to google)

how horrible -- i hope that asshole got bounced (after someone called the police on her!)

[Bev54]

27. It was a guy that threw the beer, not the woman speaking stupid.

[pfitz59]

15. the beer tosser should have been arrested

attempted assault. Trumplicans are thugs.

[ProfessorGAC]

26. It's Not "Attempted"

It's assault. Since it was obviously intentional, we could call it attempted battery. But, the throwing of a full can is already assault.

[uponit7771]

31. +1,

[Stargleamer]

18. While rightly decrying the Trumplican's actions. . .

we should also note how Ariel Elias handled this situation with such impressive aplomb. Added bonus: her chugging down the thrown beer

[multigraincracker]

19. As a nice lady once said....

Deplorable.

[elias7]

20. She picked up the tossed beer and drank it! Solid...

"I can tell by the fact that you're still talking when no one wants you to that you voted for Trump."

[Marthe48]

23. I wouldn't have drunk the beer

at the least, there were covid germs in it God knows that else.

Hope whoever threw it is banned from that venue forever.

And President Zelinsky is another brave comedian that comes to mind!

[TygrBright]

24. "I can tell by how you're still talking when nobody wants you to that you voted for [Redacted]" n/t

[Boomerproud]

25. Dude who was in the group with the heckler threw the beer.

Tribalism. It's everywhere these days. The jerk will blame it on being drunk. Too bad, consequences.

[thesquanderer]

28. Colbert should have her on his show this week. When life throws you beer...

...it's time to get famous.

[Buckeyeblue]

32. Yes he should

She handled that with excellent wit. If you're going to heckle a professional comedian you better have game. They will make you look like a fool.

[intheflow]

36. Jimmy Kimmel replied in the Twitter thread

and said he'd have her on his show!

[appleannie1]

30. @Ariel_Comedy Fwiw the club is pressing charges against the guy and booked me to come back in April.

[Liberal In Texas]

35. I hope this does nothing but help this woman's career.

She is quick with the come-backs and putting down the hecklers - a valuable skill for any comedian.

[Blue Owl]

34. I seem to recall Dump getting all hot and bothered about soup can throwers

But apparently it’s perfectly fine when his own MAGAmorons throw beer cans….
