A member of the white supremacist group Patriot Front was arrested in Haverhill, Ma., Monday and charged with multiple hate crimes related to property damage, harassment, armed threats and distribution of white nationalist propaganda. Among other crimes, he’s accused of helping to decorate the city with white supremacist “Creativity Movement” stickers — which may or may not have been meant as invites to one hell of an arts and KKKrafts event — and targeting a Black flea market and a Unitarian Universalist Church.
According to the Eagle-Tribune, Justin Milaszewski, 18, was charged with misdemeanor counts of property damage for the purpose of intimidation, destruction/defacement of a place of worship and defacing property. He was also hit with a felony charge of assault with a dangerous weapon.
Side note: News outlets keep saying Milaszewski is 18 as if we can’t all see with our own eyes a 39-year-old volunteer firefighter from South Boston who recently trimmed his handlebar mustache because his now-estranged wife always told him it looked stupid. OK fine, he’s 18. I’m just saying, racism is like the reverse Lazarus Pit for white people.
