We had a presence at every show. However, we weren't always welcomed with open arms. The truth hurts.

  • Matt ROCKS! Why was he there alone with only with a videographer tho? We had an assault in Dallas this year, and many jerks like the ones in the video. They DO feel guilty, otherwise they wouldn't get so upset! Circus mentality. What can you say. Keep up the good fight!

  • Great video. You were really brave in the face of those people bullying you. Never give up. we protested in Dallas and managed to persuade a few people to leave without buying tickets. Made it all worth it!

  • go man in the red hat!!

  • The people that stop him was just uneducated red necks.

  • damn this music!!!!! wanna to hear the conversation

  • how did those two women become this way? so soulless, so dead inside? so unwilling to open their hearts even a little bit to the truth, to compassion? i want to believe there is hope for them...but if there isn't, then the ones who understand the truth need to do everything in our power to create a world where injustices like the circus are no longer legal, so that women like those two blocking the TV would be legally bound to not support the circus.

  • Bravo, Matt!  You were VERY brave in dealing with these redneck circusgoers! They can be some of the worst in behaving badly. Totally ignorant and closed minded.

  • I LOVE YOU! These people are so ignorant to the cruelty that they are paying for and supporting. If only the kids knew what those animals go threw. GOD BLESS YOU FOR SENDING THE MESSAGE!

  • Bravo courageous Matt! While it was bad also at times here in Kent and Everett (near Seattle) there was always police nearby and more protesters! Good job against ugly Ringling!

  • The animals can never have too much support. Trust me. I was there. They could have used more backup. Please come support the animals during the next Ringling or Shrine tour. Ringling seems to come to Portland around September each year. This was my first protest, and I truly felt like I was making a difference. Call for a ban on animal acts in Oregon! Hope to see everyone at the next show!!!

  • I'm sorry I missed that day! You were fantastic and handled the ignorant jerk offs well!
