What an assh**e, ruining a performance my favorite musical!
Baltimore Sun
“A man shouted a pro-Nazi and pro-Trump salute during a performance of “Fiddler on the Roof” at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre on Wednesday night in an outburst that some audience members feared was the beginning of a shooting.
Audience member Rich Scherr said the outburst happened during intermission. The man, who had been seated in the balcony, began shouting “Heil Hitler, Heil Trump.” Immediately after that, “People started running,” Scherr said. “I’ll be honest, I was waiting to hear a gunshot. I thought, ‘Here we go.’ ”
The man was escorted out a few minutes later and the show continued. But Scherr, 49, said it was hard to focus on the play after that. “My heart was just racing. I didn’t even really pay attention to the second act.”
And fug that “I’m not saying you’re a Nazi but Nazis think you’re a Nazi” crap.
I’m saying he’s a Nazi.

The NY Times is reporting that the man who did this, who I will not name here, is indeed claiming to be an opponent of Trump but his statement doesn’t meet the smell test for me:
“According to the police report, Mr. ------— said he had been “drinking heavily throughout the night.” He told officers he yelled the slogans because the final scene before intermission reminded him of his hatred for President Donald J. Trump. According to the officer, Mr. --------— went on to say that the anger directed at him after his disruption was an indication of a high number of Mr. Trump’s supporters in the theater.”
Yeah, right. Drunk or stupid or both or a provocateur...
