(In regards to Cliff Nichols’ “Contending Streisand’s political enlightenment,” Nov. 1, page 4) This was not an arena of civic discourse. It was a concert that was billed “Barbara Streisand.”What part of that doesn’t he understand? If the heckler didn’t like what was being said: A) He could leave. B) He could not go to her show. He could instead go to an open arena of civic discourse and see how divided this uniter President has made this country, or for that matter, the world.
If while in court, (Nichols was) interrupted by a heckler, I imagine (he) would just have the bailiff remove the person... quite similar to “Shut the F*** up!”
