Um because this a serious issue of whether or not to protest public chillul shabbos and he's making a joke out of it. Where do you see room for humor here? Is nothing sacred? This is chilul shabbos here.

Publicly protesting chillul shabbos is a pretty extreme response. At least where I come from. #LiveAndLetLive
I'm only surprised there haven't been more parodies.

Hes not making fun of chillul shabbos, just the way it was dealt with.

Who cares what "a rabbi" texted? Who is this-rav chain kanievsky? AFAIK it's some bird brain who has no more of a say that anyone else does. I can get you "a rabbi" to text you that eating treif is ok.

Apparently he cares because he wouldn't have posted otherwise.
He's trying to show the mentality of the frumsters.

Ok so what? How does that explain where humor fits in? He shouldn't be making a joke about any mitzvah at all. Do you really not understand that? Isn't anything serious?

So you believe what ever is more likely, even there's a decent chance it may not be true?

Who's making a joke of a mitzvah here??
But thanks for demonstrating the thinking behind the humorless Rabbi who sent that text.

C'mon.
Most people aren't assumed to be liars.
But plenty of people have no humor about the situation and would write something as horrible as that if they were offended.

You may have your personal opinion on public protests but would that prompt you to mock the Rabbis and Roshei Yeshiva in your city publicly?

Would I do it? No.
Do I care if someone else does it? No.

I wouldn't bet a dollar on either but my gut tells me that's the likely possibility

Most might not be liars. But plenty are.
Most wouldn't write that text. But plenty would.

See what you did there?

Like I said, call him out on his page if you think he's lying.

I don't have Facebook and not starting now either.
Eta: I don't necessarily think he's lying, I just don't know what to believe.
I don't believe accusations just because it has a good chance to be true

No, this was the part where he was seriously attempting to explain away his pathetic attempt at making a joke out of a very serious and heartbreaking situation.

The serious parts of this guy's career are finished.

His attempt at explaining his actions by lying are possibly worse than his letzonus.
