'Green Shirt Guy' Goes Viral Over Reaction to ‘Sanctuary City' Heckler

Alex Kack said he couldn't help but laugh hysterically at the protesters behind him because of "just how absurd it really all was"

An angry protest about a proposed "sanctuary city" measure led to a lot of laughs for one man at a city council meeting in Tucson, Arizona, NBC News reported

When a protester wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat and a pink "Best" tank top at the Tuesday meeting started yelling "respect our laws" while holding up a sign saying "Respect our laws or we will deport you," a man wearing a green polo shirt in the row in front of her started laughing uncontrollably. 

He continued laughing hysterically as the woman and another protester were escorted out of the meeting — and his amusement quickly went viral. A video of the incident taken by KVOA reporter Nick VinZant had been retweeted almost 8,000 times and racked up over 39,000 likes by Wednesday afternoon.

#GreenShirtGuy was later identified as an activist and comedian named Alex Kack.

Kack told the website Mashable he was laughing at "just how absurd it really all was."
