ON THE BACK BURNER

Someone , on Face Book, told of a person calling out Heil Hitler, Heil Trump at a performance of " Fiddler on the Roof. " I commented that I was frightened by this kind of report. I thought about my comment for the rest of the day. I changed my mind and I feel better about my decision. If I were near enough to this person, I would throw myself at him and hope that someone would join me. I would let myself be crazed. Why should I be the one afraid. I am not a brave person. I don't confront people.But for this ,I would.  I don't know what happened to the coward who called out . Was he arrested? Did he get charged with disturbing an event ?I don't even know if the story is true. But it made me think. And I strongly feel now,that I would have the power to attack this person if that happened where I was and if I were of a body length of him. I am not afraid. I am worried about our country , where anyone could feel empowered enough to feel it's acceptable to go to a public place and call out words that should be outlawed.
