Here is the first look at the preppy NYU student from Connecticut accused of raising a flag bearing two swastikas next to a Star of David at a campus building dedicated to a Jewish donor.
Alexander Stepnowsky, 23, wore a baby-blue button-down shirt and tan khakis to his routine preliminary Manhattan court hearing Tuesday in his hate-crimes case stemming from the disturbing May incident.
The pupil hoisted the troubling banner — which also included a New York University logo and was designed to look like one of the prestigious school’s purple-and-white flags — during this year’s graduation festivities, prosecutors claim.
Stepnowsky has pleaded not guilty to charges of burglary and criminal trespass as a hate crime, as well as first-degree aggravated harassment…

It dawned on me one day, and I have since validated my thesis but questioning young men. None of them, not one, has ever taken a serious ass kicking. I mean a beat down that you have to go the hospital afterwards. I have taken some and administered some. It can be an educational experience. It serves to focus the mind and expand your horizons. If nothing else it teaches a hard lesson about pausing a moment to consider possible consequences.
“Wee weed-up!” Thanks for reviving that classic. I’ll make a point of using it in conversation in the next couple weeks
Swastika flag huh? Must be a Muzzie Nazi tranny wannabe.
Too many Tide pods when he was a toddler.
If he can fly the rainbow flag, or the flag of a foreign country, he can fly a flag with a swastika. It’s an inalienable right to free speech and the government, under the first amendment, can’t charge him with a crime.
And not enough parental discipline.
Me too. Hate Crime = Thought Police
You’re delusional. When Israel controlled Gaza for decades, Gaza thrived and so did its Christian population. Since the knuckle dragging 7th Century savages took over in 2005, it been a terror state that persecutes Christians.
Many of such young men, I suspect, never had a father who grabbed him and told him how to behave.
Even if a child is being raised with both parents together, it seems like the fathers are not stepping up here. A few months ago, I witnessed this scene that made me want to scream.
The DH and I were attending a festival at a state park. Shuttle buses, which were school buses, were provided from the parking lot. A man and a woman got on with a little boy who was not even 3. Mom sat on one side of the bus. The child sat in a seat across the aisle, right on the aisle side of the seat. I don’t know if the child spoke during this brief event, as I could hear only the man. I heard the man say the following:
“Scoot over, buddy, so I can sit down...Oh, do you want me to sit on the other side?”
He then proceeded to climb over the kid to seat himself next to the window.
I wonder who runs that household.....
lol
That’s a punch-able face for sure, a Khaki pants wearing Dbag who mommy and daddy never said no to.
Victims in their own minds.
