A man shouted ‘Heil Hitler, Heil Trump’ during performance of Fiddler on the Roof at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theater last night.

Audience members dived for cover, fearing a shooting, and the man was ejected.

The Anti-Defamation League issued this response: ‘Just a few weeks after Pittsburgh and days after the FBI released 2017 hate crime data, yet another sign that these are not normal times.’

    AWFUL.
    This man’s so filled with hatred and prejudice that he bought a ticket and attended a show centered upon Russian Jewish life of 113 years ago, just to shout that?

    This person needs a spiritual awakening in his life, to learn and experience real (agape) love.

      Not much chance of that in Trumpian America, where he who screams the loudest and twits the most times is lionised.

    Meantime, the administration has scaled down programs to counter violent extremism.

    Unacceptable…. except of course when uttered onstage and watched by President Obama (and the incomparable Mel Brooks):

    “…man shouting “Heil Hitler, Heil Trump” during a performance of “Fiddler on the Roof” in Baltimore stank of alcohol and told police he was motivated by his hatred of President Donald J. Trump.”

    From the Baltimore Sun.

    This is how it starts. More and more these people are feeling emboldened now.

    Sounds like a case of TDS: Trump Derangement Syndrome. One look at the Internet proves that it’s running rampant these days. Just take a look at the responses right here:

    Man (apparently inebriated) is a Trump hater and was comparing him to Hitler. More civility from the left.
