CAROLE COOK ON TRUMP: 'WHERE'S JOHN WILKES BOOTH WHEN YOU NEED HIM?'

The Looney Left Report

Liberals/leftists are so deranged that they would say anything to get attention and show the world how stupid and deranged they are.

The latest comes from the mouth of a Broadway actress.

TMZ reported:

Legendary Broadway star Carole Cook said something so shocking when asked about Donald Trump -- "Where's John Wilkes Booth when you need him?" 

Cook and her husband were leaving Craig's in WeHo Sunday night when our photog asked about a performance of "Frozen" last week, when a member of the audience unfurled a banner that read, "Trump 2020." An actor onstage ripped it from the guy's hands and threw it off stage.

Since many schools are no longer teaching U.S. history, therefore making our kids history deficient, I will tell you who John Wilkes Booth was: He assassinated President Abraham Lincoln in Ford's Theater.

To quote former Governor Edmund G. Brown, Sr. [who was referring to then-candidate Ronald Reagan]: "...it was an actor who shot Abraham Lincoln."

Maybe Carole Cook has a familial connection to Booth?

UPDATE (9/12/18):

The stupid old bag's comments drew the attention of the Secret Service.

According to TMZ:

Our sources say the Secret Service saw our post and are concerned enough that they want a chit chat with the 94-year-old actress. They were quick to add it's not an official investigation -- just due diligence. If the interview unearths anything ominous, only then would it become an official investigation.

Club Mecca Murders In Los Angeles

Above, the Los Angeles Times front page coverage of the murders.

The crime was called the "biggest mass-murder" in Los Angeles at the time. Some would say that the crime is "tame" by today's standards. Perhaps. But it was a shocker to the city's residents at the time, including members of my family.

Club Mecca was a small neighborhood bar located at 5841 S. Normandie Ave. About 21 people were inside the bar on the night of April 4, 1957. The bar, 25 feet square, exploded in flames when four men entered shortly before midnight, angry for being ejected from the bar earlier, with a can of gasoline and a match. The result was a fiery holocaust.

Five men and one woman died, and the others survived. One of those killed was Anthony M. “Tony” Smaldino, 27, an assistant pressman, Korean War veteran and former Golden Gloves contender.



Smaldino was a friend of my dad, aunts and uncles. Back in the 1950s, they all hung out together at Los Angeles boxing gyms. My dad boxed in the Army during the Korean War. Although Los Angeles was a large city, the boxing/wrestling/judo enthusiast community was tight-knit and everyone knew everyone. [My dad met television's Superman, George Reeves at a gym. Reeves was keeping in shape for the show by practicing judo.] My uncle Tony was also a boxer. Through them, my aunts also became friends with Smaldino.

Smaldino's funeral was held at St. Brigid's Catholic Church, with 300 people attending. Smaldino was buried at Calvary Cemetery in East Los Angeles.

The killers were caught and brought to justice. Those who were given death sentences later had their sentences commuted to life in prison by Gov. Edmund G. "Pat" Brown.

Today, Smaldino's name occasionally comes up at family gatherings. The former location of Club Mecca is now a vacant lot.
