BEREA, Ohio -- A popular performing arts building is advertising a kid`s birthday party where participants can play "Shoot the President" with Nerf guns and it’s raising more than a few eyebrows in Northeast Ohio.
The game was being advertised at Olmsted Performing Arts building in Berea.
A description of the party listed on the website states, “There is one president with body guards. Everyone else tries to eliminate or shoot the president.”
“I think it’s unfortunate that they chose that kind of theme only because of the atmosphere we are living in now,” said Julie Berghaus, of Cleveland.
“I wouldn’t say it was anything political or a statement about politics. I think the game was made up just for kid fun,” said Samuel Fravel, a former OPA student.
‘Shoot the President’ party game at local performing arts center raises concern in community
Only one question here: How many of you on the left would say this would be contained locally if the event were held during DumBama's term and not Trump? Racism, bigotry, promoting hate? Not when it takes place during a Republican presidency. Think this will make it to national news? Let's give it a few days (or weeks) and find out.
