Man said he yelled ‘Heil Hitler, Heil Trump’ during ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ because of hatred for Trump

The man who yelled “Heil Hitler, Heil Trump,” during a theater performance of "Fiddler on the Roof" this week reportedly said he made the statements because the production reminded him of his hatred of President Trump .
Anthony M. Derlunas II, 58, told Baltimore Police that he yelled the slogans because the final scene before intermission reminded him of how much he despises the president, according to The New York Times.
The Times noted that Derlunas also claimed that the anger directed at him after he shouted the slogans was because of what he claimed must be a high number of Trump supporters at the show.
Derlunas on Wednesday night began yelling from the balcony during the intermission of "Fiddler on the Roof" at Baltimore’s Hippodrome Theatre.
The cries reportedly led some in the theater to believe that a shooting was about to happen.
“I’ll be honest, I was waiting to hear a gunshot. I thought, ‘Here we go,’” Richard Scherr, a contributing sportswriter for the Baltimore Sun who was at the theater, told the newspaper.
Derlunas was escorted out of the theater after shouting the slogans. No charges were filed against him, according to reports.
"As reprehensible as the man’s words were, they are considered protected free speech because nobody was directly threatened,” a spokesperson for the Baltimore Police Department told The Times.
“Fiddler on the Roof” is a musical based on a Jewish community facing persecution in imperial Russia. The outburst from Derlunas follows a string of anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S.
In October, a mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue left 11 people dead.

I assumed it from the beginning. [Deleted]
They will call him a hero.
No offence, but one can 'scour' the internet and find hundreds of incidences in support of the 2016 Fourth Reich.
This incident, Derlunas II, the general mood of the country and the real importance of this story is very miniscule. In an hour it will be a--who--what--huh--who cares.
There's been even more information. Derlunas was drunk.
You're welcome since I let you know how to find the follow-up with WJZ /the Baltimore Sun!
Regardless of his politics this guy is a jackass
Well OK, but I didn't thank you for anything. I found the 11/14 article that was updated on 11/15 from the Baltimore Sun on my own.
Again, you're welcome.
Perfect!
Are our resident Trump haters still calling him a terrorist?
Or did that only apply before his politics were known?
Depends on which seed you are on.
If you are on the one with facts missing, then, yes, it is somehow Trump's fault some idiot acted wrongly.
Lol, man that guy is a retard.
So are the people that blamed Trump for his actions.

If there is an in home visit they may need to set an appointment first. I have a sign on my door stating as much. It states "Do not ring the damn bell without an appointment." Seems to work well. When someone ignores it they find out why the sign real quick, 5 adult chow chows greet them at the picture window overlooking the front door. So send the counsel over anytime I guess. Be glad ta see em !
