Man apologizes for yelling 'Heil Hitler, heil Trump' at 'Fiddler on the Roof' performance
Baltimore Sun ^ | November 16, 2018 | Sarah Meehan

The man who shouted “Heil Hitler, heil Trump” at a Baltimore performance of “Fiddler on the Roof” apologized Friday for his outburst, saying he chose the wrong words when he was attempting to compare President Donald Trump to the Nazi leader.

Anthony M. Derlunas II, 58, said the play, which tells the story of a Jewish family facing persecution in tsarist Russia, reminded him of Trump’s immigration policies. His comparison “came out wrong” and was “beyond a mistake” he said during an interview at his home in Joppa.

“Instantly it was like, ‘Oh my God, what did you do?’ ” said Derlunas, who acknowledged he had been drinking heavily before the show. “The thing that I can’t stand is Trump spreading hatred, and what did I do? I spread hatred.”

Derlunas’ outburst came during the intermission of the show at the Hippodrome Theatre on Wednesday evening. He was escorted from the theater’s balcony by security, and police issued him a stop ticket — less serious than a citation.

Police spokesman Matt Jablow said his words were protected by the First Amendment.

Pres. Trump plays the violin? I know he is talented, but I’ve never seen him do that.

“The thing that I can’t stand is Trump spreading hatred, and what did I do? I spread hatred.”

Give a case of whatever he drinks to each of the dem leadership. Maybe they'll come to the same epiphany about their own blindness and hypocrisy.

He’s not really on the hook. Police gave him a warning and he was thrown out of the show. That’s it.

Well, the court of public opinion, anyway. He won't get fired from his job and whatever.

Probly get him a nice GoFundMe goin' on.

Truth to power, and whatnot.

Just once I would love to see one of these idiots that claim Trump is like Hitler be forced to write down on paper the similarities then back it up with facts.

Funny how he assumes saying he "hates Trump" will get him off the hook.

Yeah, something like this:

"Drumpf's hateful, racist, misogynistic, transphobic, fascist regime is causing so much pain and anger right now. Good people are hurting and lashing out."

If Trump is like Hitler were the Jews banging down the door to get into Nazi era Germany?

In Maryland, no doubt about it.

I wonder what would happen if I wore my MAGA hat into the same theatre and didn’t say a word.

Maybe I’ll try it someday. I live in Maryland and wear my MAGA hat often.

Every aspect of liberal’s lives is not just ruled by politics, but politics plus anger and bitterness. What an awful way to live.

Fear of vandalism, or worse, is why there are precincts where there are zero Republican election judges. Then Dems are free to vote for as many people who never showed up as they please. I bet that there is not a single heavily Republican precinct where an outsiderDem would fear to be a Judge or a poll watcher.

As for the Sun, can we say FAKE news propaganda.

The guy was drunk and he told someone, as way reported later on, that he hates Trump. We’ve been to that venue for a couple of shows but never again. It sits on the very western Boundary of the Baltimore Central Business District but it is out of the “Green Zone” and a half a lob wedge from the Ghetto. The ferals patrol the area even in the daylight. Now for a performance of “Fiddler on the Roof”, I’ve got to assume that 98% of the audience was Jewish and that 100% of them are the typical Baltimore liberal JINO’s who have given all their votes, political donation money and volunteer time to keep the filthy D power structure in place. If you have an aversion to bad perfume on stinky old ladies like I do, you’ll best avoid the Hippodrome. Dollars to donuts this was a stunt to get press coverage and stir some outrage like all the other crap they’ve pulled.

I do the same, but I live in a mostly red area.

I salute you, goodman.
