...

Fine’s assistant public defender, Tressa Palcheck, said he is a Harvard University graduate who’s now studying “history and fascism” at the City University of New York. He’s been in the school’s doctorate program for seven years, she said.

Hopefully his criminal destruction of other people's property is part of his doctoral disseration and he will soon graduate so he can get a job to pay for his malicious destruction of the Gucci purses.

If he’s a Harvard grad then he should be smart enough to graduate from Cook County Jail in 3 to 5 years with a degree in Don’t Do Stupid $hit.

The article says this guy is studying “history and fascism” and is in a PHD program, I can understand getting a PHD in history, I had no idea you could become a Dr. in anti-fascism.

Maybe he was doing research for his dissertation.

A free helicopter ride would do the trick, if you get my drift.

He should pull that stunt in an Italian-American neighborhood in a store owned by Italians. The cops would never be called.

Hugo Boss company did produce SS Uniforms. His company also designed the Hitler Youth uniform.

Guccio Gucci was reportedly a supporter of Mussolini, but didn’t do more than standard army contracts for boots and other kit for Italian soldiers.

Crossing state lines to engage in rioting is a federal offense. Congress should be investigating who is financing Antifa, BLM, Janes Revenge, and the Trans Movement. You can bet that it’s a lot of the same people financing all this crap, starting with George Soros. The Pritzker family apparently are big bankrollers of the “trans” movement.
