Chicago — A New York City man is holed up at the Cook County jail today, accused of causing $16,000 in damages to the Gucci store, 900 North Michigan Avenue. His defense attorney said he was participating in an anti-fascism demonstration.
Todd Fine, 42, is charged with felony criminal damage to property in connection with the incident, which unfolded around 1 p.m. Monday.
Prosecutors said he entered the luxe retailer and walked down the aisles, knocking purses and bags to the floor. He refused to leave and threatened to come back every day to break the store’s windows, Assistant State’s Attorney Sarah Dale-Schmidt said. It was all caught on video.

Union Thug or Antifa without the mask.
Retail Vacancy on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile More Than Doubles from Pre-Pandemic Levels
"Chicago’s Magnificent Mile, Gold Coast, and Irving North neighborhoods and neighboring commercial districts were targeted by 'car caravans' of people who ransacked high-end stores, such as Saks Fifth Avenue.
Among the tenants that decided not to re-open their stores along the Mag Mile were Macy’s, Uniqlo, and the Gap."
“He’s just another Ghillie suit wearing, Nazi weirdo.”
Uhh, the anti facists were the nazis mortal enemies.
“Practicing Krystallnacht?”
Exactly. He was getting hands-on experience as to what actual Nazis did by emulating Nazis behavior.
“Uhh, the anti facists were the nazis mortal enemies.”
Theoretically. In practice, they were the same thing, with one group answering to socialist Hitler and the other to socialist Stalin.
More like the “Crips” and the “Bloods” fighting for the same territory and sometimes working together.
Headline should say “Priced at $16,000.”
No way are they “worth” that much.
Fascists and Commies are two rabid dogs fighting over the same bone.
Fighting perceived Anti Fascism with REAL FASCISM!!
ANTIFA began as ANTI FIRST AMENDMENT, SPEECH IS VIOLENCE,... see Occupy Wall Street, and was very vocal about their beliefs. They changed their motto after realizing they were the REAL FASCISTS
Depends on what they are.
A lot of the non-mass-market stuff are basically functional works of art that takes 100s of hours by skilled craftsmen.
I wouldn’t want it (for multiple reasons), but it’s a bit like trying to value a Porsche by the value of its aluminum.
And, yes, a lot is just junk trading on the name.
Hitler not socialist but hybrid capitalist/fascist.
He is a Harvard University graduate who’s now studying “history and fascism” at the City University of New York.
His skills of sorting data is very limited.
However, the Aunt Teefuses are anti-fascist fascists.
Well, no.
Fascism is merely a type of socialism.

Sort of like our current Union government?
I don’t know what you mean.
