Comic Mencia meets protesters – Champaign-Urbana, Illinois

Tagged: , ,
“Go in there, go in there, and watch the show, and at the end of it we’ll have this conversation,” said Mencia to the group after offering them free tickets to his show. “And then you’re gonna say, ‘I didn’t know.’”

“Carlos Mencia paid a visit to Assembly Hall last night as the fourth installment of his nationwide “Punisher Tour”.

However, while anxious ticket-holders made their way into Assembly Hall, they were met by six members of the Latino and Latina community and members of the Central And South American Students Association. Statements made by the protesters included: “We’re just raising awareness,” “Learn our culture before you laugh at it,” “Where are Mencia’s Mexican fans?”, “Who does Carlos Mencia cater to?”, and “We’re not laughing with you.”"
