  • @hughmillen2 "I see a book here that I presume to the bible" is clearly meant to be a ironic and satirical remark and therefore to provoke laughter.

  • This was amazing.

  • Very clueless audience obviously...the only thing they could do was laugh at the mention of the bible or God...having no idea that Brown was not mocking God or the bible but using it' teachings to point out the hypocrisy of the court and slavery. Bunch of dumb kids in the audience.

  • very nice job

  • wow, the laughter is so inappropriate! The only part where Brown perhaps was a bit satirical was the Bible remark, and they laugh at it?

  • Very true! Many people don't even know about Jon Brown. shame
