So with a home video circulating of his entire act, why do we only see it from the beginning of his pissed off out of control rant instead of from the beginning of the tape? Or is that when someone pressed record?
I'm not just talking about CNN or television. We know they're not going to show the whole thing. But what about youtube or other internet file sharing sites? Did the video shooter upload the entire thing yet? Thats what I'd prefer to see for myself. I don't like spoon fed opinion. If the entire tape is not uploaded, it makes me question why not.

although I do agree with your statement that there could have been many reasons as to why he went 'nuts' on stage, the fact remained that he IS a comedian. And that heckling is part of the business - how many comedians have been thrown off stage by bottles thrown at them etc. but they certainly didn't reply in anger. What happened was the crowd showed Kramer as a bad comic - someone with little talent to make people laugh, and he hated that. So rather than face the truth, he went over the line.
Even comics who were there - agreed that no matter how bad the crowd gets, you simply do NOT cross a line. CNN and news alike are blowing this all out of proportion - but what is really at the center of all this - is a man who simply couldn't handle the truth being thrown at him, and he had a meltdown and fought back the only way he could based on his talent - in a weak hailstorm of poorly crafted remarks.
