Protesters Jeer Audience At Cosby’s Kitchener Show

While Bill Cosby's show in Kitchener pushed through, that doesn't mean it went well seamlessly, as about two dozen protesters emerged outside the Centre in The Square to shout and jeer those who decided to watch the embattled comedian perform Wednesday night.
Ticket holders eager to watch Cosby perform lined as they entered the theatre while a pack of journalists also storm the location to cover the event.

Some of the audience even stopped to entertain reporters eager to know why they still decided to watch the 77-year-old's performance. Others, meanwhile, just went on, as if nobody was asking.
One 16-year-old protester, herself a sexual assault victim, felt "bad for them."
"I have sympathy for them, obviously he hasn't been convicted but the fact that there's been such an uprising yet they continue to proceed. . . . to each their own. They're entitled to their opinion and we're entitled to ours," she said.
Meanwhile, another female audience, who wished to remain anonymous, explained that there's no reason why she shouldn't attend his show because, after all, Cosby has not yet been found guilty by the court.
Inside the theatre, an entourage of uniformed security guards was lined along its hallways.
Three protesters tried to block the audience from entering the theatre but they were immediately moved and escorted by the security officers away from the property.
Thirty women have already stepped out to slam Cosby with allegations of sexual assault which followed after the award-winning comedian drugged them. However, no charges have been filed against him.
