Rodrigo Jesus Gibson, circled, with the Proud Boys in Washington, DC in Dec. 2020. Gibson formerly worked as Communications Director for the Office of the Provost at Drexel University. His hat reads âProud Boy.â
After the Epik Data breach by hacktivist group Anonymous last year, it was revealed that the registrant of the Philly Proud Boysâ website was one Rodrigo Jesus Gibson.
Gibson was also identified from sources close to the PBâs, as well as facial recognition software, according to this thread by @Ruthlesswe.
Once identified, there is no shortage of information about Gibson available online. Gibson was previously living in Miami, where he was a musician and had a multimedia company.
Gibson is no longer employed at Drexel University. His listing as an employee on their website appears to be out-of-date.
Gibson participated with the Proud Boys when they marched unannounced in Old City in Sept. 2020.

How do we develop antifascist praxis when the enemy does not appear in organized, recognizable forms?
How deeply rooted in Western culture and subjectivity is fascism? How has gender been both recognized and diminished in analyses of contemporary fascist resurgences?
This seminar begins to answer these questions and others through a collective reading group facilitated by the author of On Microfascism: Gender, War, Death. Over the course of four Fridays, we will meet and work through the analytic and cultural underpinnings of ârecentâ fascism.
Taking a concept scattered across the writings of Felix Guattari, On Microfascism traces the long history of the cultural production of fascist subjectivity as well as its most contemporary forms. Before fully formed fascism is possible (as a political party, state form, even social movement), its emergent qualities are patterned in culture. From the Book of Genesis to contemporary gamer squads, microfascism appears in initiation rites old and new, via Proud Boys and Boogaloo Boys as updated archaic warrior societies, and in necropolitical anti-masking protestors.The objective of the seminar is to help us perceive tendencies that can illuminate emergent fascist moments as well as the state-centered attempts to understand them, in the hopes of preventing both of these wars of restoration.
Starting with the concept of âmicrofascismâ we will elaborate the archaic and hypercontemporary dimensions of fascist selfhood. Each week will take up a chapter or two along with some key background readings that helped form the ideas in that chapter. If schedules permit, we will also invite authors to appear virtually for conversation.
In Week 1, we will cover some basics in defining fascism, the importance of culture, and the centrality of gender. We will explore the key concept of âmicrofascismâ in this light.
In Week 2: Sovereignty and Gender, we will explore a foundational concept of selfhood in Western thought and culture, focusing on a process of self-created selfhood, or âautogenetic sovereignty.â We then move to mapping some important work on 21st century misogyny (especially online) as well as a longer view of patriarchy as a gendered social order based on this autogenesis.
In Week 3: War and Death, we combine two chapters to explore how the gendered sovereign emerges from war (specifically a war on women), on initiation rites, and on patriarchal pacts as war bands (Mannerbund). Next we take up the concept of necropolitics from Achille Mbembe by situating it a long history of patriarchy as well as in contemporary events like mass shooters and homi-suicidal tendencies.
After three weeks of mapping out the variety of forms of fascism today, the final Week 4: Micro-Antifascism meeting lays out what it might mean to think of being anti-microfascist or developing a type of micro-antifascism. While reading about theories and practical cases will open this session, participants are especially encouraged to bring in experiences and examples of what such anti-microfascist praxis could look like.

Community Alert! Those in the Penn State and State College community should be aware of a dangerous bigot on PSU campus who advocates for r*pe and wh!te supremacy named AVI RACHLIN. Rachlin uses the handles: resistpennstate (twitter) and avsterbone (reddit). The following report and photographs document only a few of the many instances where Rachlin has committed discriminatory harassment and violence. This info is already public: anyone can research Rachlin to find the same information. The images below have been censored. All community organizations in State College, thank you the work you do, please inform your networks!
Email PSUâs Office of Student Conduct, StudentConduct@psu.edu or call 814â863â0342 to demand Rachlin be held accountable for âdiscriminatory harassment.â Email PSU Provost Nick Jones (provost@psu.edu) to demand Rachlin be removed from Penn State.
SCHOOL SH*OTING , S*XUAL ASS*AULT, M*URDER
In a reddit thread, Rachlin alarmingly says that if he could get away with it or face no consequences, he wishes to do a school shooting. He says, âIâd definitely shoot up a school,â and âIâd then probably start driving around and shoot at random cars & pedestrians.â In this same fantasy, Rachlin says that he desires to r*ape and m*rder women, if he could get away with it.
G*N PERM*T
Recently, New Jersey police denied Rachlin a gun permit because they deemed him a threat. Police determined that Rachlin has a history of domestic harassment and unhinged, aggressive behavior. See Rachlin v Baumann where public court records detail the reasons New Jersey police consider Rachlin a threat. After he was denied a gun permit, Rachlin violently disrupted a PSU campus rally waving a sign with an image that threatened gun violence. The image depicted Alex Jones holding a pistol aimed at viewers. Over this image the sign said, âShut the F*ck Up Liberals.â At worst, this image could be interpreted as depicting Rachlinâs fantasy of using gun violence to m*rder students and professors whom he sees as his enemies. At best, the image depicts the kind of gun violence that New Jersey police believe Rachlin might commit if he were to possess a handgun. In line with this, Rachlin has also repeatedly tweeted his unwavering support for armed white vigilantes who murder Black Lives Matter protestors.
WH*TE SUPREMACY & THE N* WORD
Rachlin is an avid white supremacist. Heâs proud that people call him a n*zi. He believes âwh*tes should remain dominant.â In a public Penn State discord channel, Rachlin yelled the n-word. Fellow students reported Rachlin to Penn Stateâs Office of Student Conduct, but Penn State ignored the complaint and did nothing to hold Rachlin accountable. Rachlin also calls people the n word on his reddit account.
R*CISM, M*SOGNY, H*MOPHOBIA
Rachlin has a long history of being a r*cist, mys*gynist, and hom*phobe. Penn State admitted Rachlin as a student despite his public support for r*cism and r*pe. Penn State has also allowed Rachlin to remain on campus despite threatening and assaulting students, professors, and community members at a pro-vaccine campus rally in August of 2021.
S*XUAL IMAGES TO MIN*RS
Rachlin was removed from a gamer community after one its members who was a minor reported that Rachlin had sent them pornographic images. A moderator notified Rachlin he was being removed because he had sent pornographic images to a minor. Rachlin admitted to this and then bragged that he âwas a deadassâ for committing this violence to a minor.
AGAIN ON S*XUAL ASS*ULT
On numerous occasions, Rachlin has advocated for the r*pe of women. Screenshots from his twitter and reddit accounts show him admitting to engaging in phone s*x with women without their knowledge or consent. He also claims that women who donât dress conservatively deserve to be s*xually a*saulted. In December of 2021, Rachlin tweeted that âr*ape is good for your s*x life.â In 2018, Rachlin called a Wendyâs restaurant to demand he be allowed to masturb*te on the premises. He recorded this act of sexual harassment for his youtube channel.
AGAIN ON HOM*PHOBIA
In Oct. 2021, Rachlin proudly served as a volunteer for a f*scist and hom*phobic event on PSU campus titled âPray the G*y Away.â The speaker of the event advocated for conversion therapy. Rachlin recruited other volunteers to join him to help make the event possible. Before the event, Rachlin tweeted a message that denounced LGBTQ+ students, saying support for LGBTQ+ students is ânauseating.â
THREATENING ACTIONS ON CAMPUS
In August of 2021, as mentioned above, Rachlin threatened people at a pro-vaccine campus rally. Several students and professors tried to deescalate Rachlin to protect themselves from his dangerous behavior. In response, Rachlin attacked these people. The Penn State police were called on Rachlin who removed him from the rally. Rachlin then lied to Penn State police, claiming his was victimized. Penn State police sympathized with Rachlin because they share the same anti-vax, white supremacist politics. Penn State police targeted one of the professors who protected students from Rachlinâs violent actions that day. Penn State police unjustly charged the professor for keeping the campus safe from Rachlinâs threatening behavior. The professor was innocent and was later cleared of all charges. The DA and a judge did not believe Rachlinâs lies. So far, though, neither Penn State police nor Penn State administration have held Rachlin accountable for his violent actions that day.
Currently, Rachlin remains on PSU campus. PSU Police have greenlit Rachlinâs dangerous behavior. Say no to white supremacists and r*pe promoters like Rachlin. Share this article to alert the Penn State and State College community. Demand Penn State remove Rachlin from the campus community. People arenât safe with him around.
As mentioned above, email PSUâs Office of Student Conduct, StudentConduct@psu.edu or call 814â863â0342 to demand Rachlin be held accountable for âdiscriminatory harassment.â Email PSU Provost Nick Jones (provost@psu.edu) to demand Rachlin be removed from Penn State.
Leave it to the alt-right to besmirch something as classic as the The Mamas and the Papas. In contrast to the acclaimed American folk band, âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ has been making racist music distributed by the âWhite Art Collectiveâ since 2017, with titles such as âAnchor Baby,â âPride and Privilegeâ and âFake American.â
Thanks to the recent breach of Nazi-friendly domain registrar Epik.com by the hacktivist collective Anonymous, we were able to track down the identity of the front person and lead singer of âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ who calls herself âMama P.â Since the hack by Anonymous was in response to Epik.com hosting an anti-choice website, what we discovered in our investigation was surprisingly topical.
âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ
Logo for the alt-right folk duo âThe Mamas and the Pepes.â
âThe Mamas and the Pepes,â named as a spoof mash-up of the American band âThe Mamas and the Papasâ and the alt-right mascot âPepe the Frog,â has been creating music with racist, homophobic, transphobic, antisemitic, Islamophobic and fascist themes since 2017 . Fronted by âMama Pâ with âThe Handsome Horseâ on guitar, the duo has produced such songs as âHate Crime Hoaxâ:
HATE CRIME HOAX
They pay Blacks & Jews & Muslims the most
So if you need your race hate sub-sid-ized
Have yourself a HATE CRIME HOAX [archive]
Accompanying artwork for The Mamas and the Pepesâ song âHate Crime Hoax.â
and âYou Gotta Go Backâ:
You gotta go back where you came from
You donât like us
You just like our stuff
We gave some to you, but itâs never enough.
So letâs coexist
With you OVER THERE
Over the wall, out of our hair [archive]
The Mamas and the Pepeâs encouraged snitching on undocumented immigrants to ICE on the web page for their song âYou Gotta Go Back.â
In âBad Opticsâ the lyrics reference the racist âgreat replacementâ conspiracy theory:
I took a trip back to my old hometown
and lo and behold â the children are brown!
Iâm wonderinâ where all the white people went
This is the goal of the GREAT REPLACEMENT [archive]
Accompanying artwork for the song âBad Optics.â
Neither members of the duo show their real faces publicly, with âMama Pâ using a literal sock puppet for her online appearances on neo-Nazi podcasts.
A âMama and the Pepesâ album cover. âMama Pâ is represented by the sock puppet on the left.
âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ are closely affiliated with the White Art Collective (WAC), a group of musicians and visual artists who promote white supremacist themes and other right-wing beliefs. âMama Pâ conducts many interviews with other alt-right personalities (and even one of themselves) for their website and also hosts a music show on the WACâs DLive channel.
One of the interviews âMama Pâ conducted was with the Global Minority Initiative (GMI), a group that seeks to provide legal, financial and moral support for whom they call âpolitical prisonersâ (ie. neo-Nazis and other white supremacists who are incarcerated). She ends the interview with:
So please, whatever your belief system, taking care of our guys matters. It matters to me, and it should matter to you, too.
While there is much to criticize about the prison industry, by âour guysâ âMama Pâ means the white supremacists who are incarcerated for committing violence upon non-white persons and other minorities. âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ even did a promotional piece for the GMI in which you can hear their speaking voices:
âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ also have a Gab account operated by âMama Pâ on which they promote their material and post racist and LGBT-phobic messages, as well as anti-vaccination messages.

They may not have known at the time but âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ was quickly attracting some unwanted attention by some nosy antifascists (us).
An Epik Fail
On September 13, 2021 the hacktivist collective Anonymous announced that they had breached the systems of Epik.com, a domain name registrar known for catering to extreme right-wing customers, in response to their hosting of an anti-choice website and would allow access to this information. The info dump proved to be a treasure trove for researchers and provided what we needed to track down âMama P.â
An âEpik Failâ for Epik.com; An epic win for antifascists [archive].
The official website for âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ was registered through Epik.com and the registrantâs information was present in this info dump, as shown below. (We have redacted some details, although this information is now publicly available):
âJulie Greenâ,â+1.215694****â,âin****@gmail.comâ,â59 S ********** Rd, Wallingford, PA 19086âł
Information for the registrant of âmamaspepes.comâ was found in the Epik.com breach.
A password used by âmamaspepes.comâ and stored in plain text by Epik.com was an appreciative nod to violent right-wing extremist âBased Stickmanâ Kyle Chapman.
While this was a tremendous lead, by itself it was not enough, especially considering that some of the customer data in the Epik breach was deliberately falsified by customers who wished to avoid identification, so further scrutiny was necessary. A quick search of public records indicated that a âJulie S Greenâ was indeed a real person residing at the registered address, but we needed more proof to ensure that this was the person behind the account. A search of popular social media sites was not fruitful with such a common name. What we did have, however, was an email address: in****@gmail.com.
Upon researching this email we learned that it was also present in another information breach, that of the blogging website Livejournal. While this particular blog had been deleted, the username found in this data set was an important clue: âjewelsgreen.â
We located another now-deleted blog on an archive site belonging to a person calling herself âJewels Green.â One of the images displayed on a blog post was also an image used on the Google profile for the in****@gmail.com email address, though its orientation had been rotated by 90 degrees.
Public Google reviews made by the email address âin****@gmail.com.â Note the profile image above.An image found on an archived blog by âJewels Greenâ is also used on the Google account associated with the email address âin****@gmail.comâ found in the Epik breach (orientation rotated) [archive].
While this was simply a stock photo, we found no other instances of this particular cropping elsewhere on the internet. We also found a website, The Burgenland Bunch, in which she is listed with a surname âSemâ and the in****@gmail.com email address is linked. In this case, that email was publicly attached to âJulie Shana Semâ of New York, New York, born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Altogether, these were very strong indicators that we had found the person we were looking for. Further research made this indisputable.
Photo of âJewels Greenâ found on an archived blog [archive].
âJewels Greenâ was very active in anti-choice circles regarding abortion for a period of time between 2011 and 2017. She claimed to have had an abortion as a teen and to have worked at an abortion clinic, but came to regret her past. As such, there are numerous videos on the internet of her speaking appearances. We were able to compare her voice on these videos of her speaking appearances with the voice of âMama Pâ found on the many examples of her speaking and singing. One of them may be found here, on her own YouTube channel.
Julie âJewelsâ Green, aka âMama Pâ in a video on her YouTube channel.
If that video happens to disappear, other examples exist:
We have these videos archived locally in case they are removed.
We compared Jewels Greenâs speaking voice with the speaking voice of âMama Pâ on her various white-supremacist podcast appearances such as one called âThe After Party,â a short clip of which may be viewed and listened to below.
We concluded that the voices were undeniably the same; Julie Shana Green, of Wallingford, Pennsylvania, aka âJewels Greenâ was the person behind the voice and (literal) sock puppet of âMama Pâ of âThe Mamas and the Pepes.â
From Anti-Choice to White Supremacy
With the knowledge that âMama Pâ was in fact anti-choice activist âJewels Green,â much of the Twitter activity of âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ Twitter account (@MamasPepes) made clear sense, showing very specific knowledge of anti-choice talking points.
At some point Julie âJewelsâ Green went from conservative anti-choice activist to full on fascist, as demonstrated by this awful parody of a Partridge Family song:
Julie Shana Green was born on August 26, 1971 and claimed to have been âa 17-year-old drug-using high school drop-outâ who was forced into an abortion by her then-boyfriend. She then claimed to have âworked at an abortion clinic for five years (from age 18 to 23)â and claimed to have been a pro-choice activist during this time. She graduated from Kutztown University in 1995 (under her surname previous to her marriage to Green, âSemâ) and then claimed that she quit working at the abortion clinic and became an anti-choice (so-called âpro-life)â activist.
Julie Shana Green, aka âJewels Green,â in an anti-choice promo.
Julie âJewelsâ Green at a speaking appearance in 2013 [archive].[archive]
Her anti-choice activism continued through around 2017, and during this time she made many public appearances at anti-choice demonstrations. After around 2017 âJewels Greenâ seemed to disappear from the anti-choice activism scene.
We can only speculate why such a notable anti-choice speaker who claimed to have converted from a pro-choice stance and who claimed to have had an abortion herself in the past left the scene so suddenly and thoroughly, but the slide from anti-choice into full-blown white nationalism is unsurprising. The crossover of racism and xenophobia into anti-choice circles is a well documented one. As Alex DiBranco, writing for The Nation, notes:
In recent decades, the movement mainstream has been careful to protect its public image by distancing itself from overt white nationalists in its ranks. Last year, anti-abortion leader Kristen Hatten was ousted from her position as vice president of the anti-choice group New Wave Feminists after identifying as an âethnonationalistâ and sharing white supremacist alt-right content. In 2018, when neo-Nazis from the Traditionalist Worker Party (TWP) sought to join the local March for Life rally organized by Tennessee Right to Life, the anti-abortion organization rejected TWPâs involvement.
The mention of Kristen Hatten is interesting since we found that Green (perhaps unsurprisingly) seemed to be a close associate of Hatten, as evident by their appearances together at anti-choice events.
Julie âJewelsâ Green (center) with Kristen Hatten (right) [archive].Tweet from Kristen Hatten âlikedâ by Jewels green as it appears on archive.org.
Green also associated with several other extreme right-wing Twitter accounts, such as Ashley Rae Goldenberg (aka â@Communism_Kills) who is known to associate with white supremacists and Robert Spencer, operator of the Islamophobic website âJihad Watch,â as evident by archived Twitterposts.
Twitter post by Julie Green operating the â@MamasPepesâ Twitter account [archive].
In 2017 the white-nationalist folk musicians âThe Mamas and the Pepesâ appeared, with presences on Gab and other right-wing-centric internet platforms. While having strong opinions about abortion is one thing, Green obviously feels that her racist, white nationalist views are more dangerous to her social standing since she has only appeared from behind a cheaply made sock puppet. She has expressed on various racist podcasts that she cannot show her face. Apparently, she would much rather express her racist views with poorly written jingles and cheap cotton socks.
Julie âJewelsâ Green
While we donât know what made Julie âJewelsâ Green disappear from the anti-choice activism scene to become a white nationalist folk singer who hides behind a sock puppet, we do know that she can put those socks back on her feet because she canât hide behind them anymore.

A big shout-out goes to Anonymous, whom we are not affiliated with in any way, despite our name. Thank you for your service!
So far, we’ve identified two of the individuals who attended a 2020 neo-Nazi meetup at Ringing Rocks Park in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Photo’d below are neo-Nazis Matthew Robert Guse & Gregory Anthony Cristiano (who is also a pedophile & sex offender). A ????… /1
Scranton resident Matthew Guse was exposed by @discord__panic in 2019 as a member of white nationalist organization Identity Evropa (then rebranded as “The American Identity Movement”). Below is a summary of Panic’s article from @IGD_News column TWIF. /2 panicinthediscord.noblogs.orâŚ
Despite his Nazi affiliations, Guse was allowed to graduate from Lackawanna College in May 2020. Unfortunately, the photos here prove that (despite scrubbing the internet of accounts using his real name or Identity Evropa username) Guse is still involved in Nazi organizing. /3
Next is Upper Black Eddy, PA resident Gregory Anthony Cristiano. Cristiano is not only a neo-Nazi. He is also a pedophile and sex offender, according to public records which you can access here: /4 offenderradar.com/offender-dâŚ
Ringing Rocks Park is located in the town of neo-Nazi Gregory Cristano’s residence — Upper Black Eddy — so it is likely that he was the one to suggest this meetup with his fellow neo-Nazis. FYI Cristiano also has connections to the NY town of Massapequa. /5
All attendees proudly display roman salutes in 2 separate photos. Photo’d also, a medallion featuring a Nazi Eagle, with the swastica replaced by an Edelweiss flower. See ???? below for more info about the fascist imagery displayed by these neo-Nazis. /6
[Thread Link]
We’re still looking into the identities of these three neo-Nazis. Their meetup was in Bucks County, Pennsylvania so it is likely that they live somewhere in eastern PA or western/central NJ. Feel free to send tips via DM or ProtonMail. /7
We don’t tolerate Nazi organizing in our region. If you get together with your Nazi friends in public, we will let the world know who you are. Cut ties with all supremacist contacts and begin your journey toward deradicalization, or we WILL expose you. #WeKeepUsSafe /8

Character Assassination and Denial: Steven Powers and PSL Philly
In July of 2020, Dakota of PSL Philly reported fellow member Steven Powers for sexual misconduct at the behest of Powersâ then-girlfriend, who used the name Griselda online. In the weeks following his report, Dakota was charged with violating PSLâs constitution, removed from organizational chats, slandered by his so-called comrades and generally isolated by party leadership. Dakota highlighted this process in detail1 after attempting to struggle over the issue through the proper channels. PSL claims that Powers was throroughly investigated, but thus far the only people to see any consequences for his predatory and abusive actions are the people he harmed.
Griselda, who brought his behavior to the attention of other party cadre, has been systematically harassed and stalked by party leadership. In a formal party statement, PSL even disclosed Griseldaâs legal name and location, and declared that their investigation committee concluded that Griselda had falsely accused Powers. Itâs worth noting that PSL has taken down the statement down due to Griselda threatening suicide; some members now insist that she was not doxxed, repeating the lie that that the original statement had only her first name in it.
What is perhaps most concerning about PSLâs treatment of Griselda is the fact that the partyâs investigation into the matter was entirely internal, though she was never a party member. An internal committee of PSL members reading through text messages is not only unqualified to rule out abuse, it is obviously a ploy to avoid transparancy and protect the orgâs reputation at any cost. Let us be crystal clear:This is not an internal issue of party discipline. This is an issue of a party member abusing someone outside of the PSL.
The process was further compromised by Powersâ close friendship with members of the Steering Committee, which headed the investigation. Steering Committee member Timour K. was seen hanging out with Steven Powers with other PSL members during the investigation, despite contact with Powers being restricted by the Party.
A recently released statement by former PSL Philly members2, originally intended for internal struggle, details how PSL manipulated Griseldaâs accounts to make her out to be a âhysterical womanâ and distorted the context for Griseldaâs âconsentâ in order to find Steven Powers innocent of abuse. The Steering Committee also concealed the fact that Powers had another accuser.
If revolutionary parties truly wish to earn the position of vanguard, they must be accountable to the masses, both inside and outside party membership. PSLâs attempts to resolve contradictions between themselves and the unorganized masses through secretive internal meetings reveals not only a disconnect from the broader masses, but a deep fear and distrust of them as well. This is far from the first time that PSL has sprung to the defense of over-degreed white chauvunists in its ranks.

Antifascist researchers using the pseudonym Firestorm on Fash we able to track the racist social media posts from Constable Pete Dardas of the Berk County Sheriffâs Department. His Facebook posts are littered with memeâs about âBlack on Black crimeâ and ârefusals to apologize for being white.â He regularly posts racially insensitive content in response to the recent wave of removals of confederate and other racist monuments.
As you might expect, he posts plenty of anti-ANTIFA propaganda as well as sexist content. He also posts a ton of sexually charged content, which makes us wonder if the memes are indicators of his behavior in real life, or more importantly, on his shift.
Finally, he posted a diatribe in response to the George Floyd Uprising where he includes some thoughts on the Philadelphia Police Commissioner. He includes his belief that protesters who block highways deserve to be run over, his desire to shoot and kill protesters, his belief that blue lives matter over Black lives and that BLM should be labeled a terrorist organization.
Dardas uses his social media to make veiled threats toward minority groups and activists and given his position of power at the Berks County Sheriffâs Department, itâs clear that his is an absolute danger to the community. After this dox dropped, an understandably outraged community contacted the Berks County Sheriffâs Department calling for Constable Dardasâ removal and as of July 8th, the Dardas had officially resigned.
Philadelphia, PA â Marconi Plaza has served as the gathering site for right-wing South Philly residents this past weekend. Members of the crowd were almost exclusively of Italian-American heritage, reflecting the ethnic composition and culture of some of the surrounding neighborhoods.
Two weeks ago the city of Philadelphia removed a statue of ex-police chief and ex-mayor Frank Rizzo. Five days later, on June 7, the city painted over the Rizzo mural that had been subjected to years of regular defacement by anti-racist and LGBTQ+ community members. Though in the 1970s Rizzo was celebrated as a success by local Italian-American residents, he was also responsible for the 1985 bombing of a Black residential neighborhood, home to Black liberation group MOVE.
Monuments to historical figures such as Christopher Columbus have been targeted with defacement and removal over the past two weeks across the United States, such as in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where Indigenous community members worked together to rip a Columbus statue from the state capitol grounds.
Philadelphia has two memorials to Columbus: a monument at Pennâs landing, and a statue in Marconi Plaza in South Philly. Marconi Plaza is namesake to Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi, a Nobel Prize winner for his work in radio communications as well as a passionate fascist collaborator who helped Benito Mussoliniâs regime implement anti-semitic policies.
After rumors swirledâprimarily in neighborhood Facebook groupsâthat Mayor Jim Kenney may order the removal of the statue, some South Philly residents congregated in the public plaza in a show of support for the statue to remain.
Unicorn Riot documented the scene over the weekend. Many residents had armed themselves with baseball bats, sticks, and golfclubs, and at least one man was visibly armed with some kind of rifle. Bats were observed hidden around the area on Sunday.
Several of those gathered told our reporter on the scene that the Columbus statue represents their Italian heritage. A century ago, anti-Italian sentiment bubbled in the United States as hundreds of thousands emigrated from Italy, fleeing desperate conditions during World War I. Congressâ Immigration Act of 1924 severely constricted immigration from countries with high Catholic and Jewish populations â allowing in 4,000 emigrants per year from Italy, just 2% of the yearly average from a decade earlier â as well as immigration from all other places that werenât northwestern European countries with an Anglo-Saxon populace.
When our reporter asked about the personal acts of brutality and torture perpetuated against Native people more than 500 years ago by Cristoforo Colombo (Columbusâ name in Italian), some South Philly residents espoused racist sentiments against Indigenous people, while others denied the atrocities had ever taken place.
Some of the right-wing crowd were there for reasons other than protecting the statue. Some in the crowd wore matching âI Stand With Frank Rizzoâ pro-police shirts, along with pro-Trump t-shirts and several Trump flags.
The South Philly vigilantes often approached anyone entering the area, inquiring where they lived and harassing them as not being âfrom hereâ if they werenât recognized. Racist and sexist slurs were used freely by the men and women confronting various passers-by.
Mayor Kenney tweeted that the vigilantism is âinappropriateâ and warned that it brings âmore danger to themselves and the city.â
Our reporter on the scene, Christopher Schiano, was assaulted multiple times on both Saturday and Sunday night by many of those who had gathered in Marconi Plaza. The tires to his bicycle were slashed on Saturday, and on Sunday one man damaged the camera Chris was using to document events.
After multiple Philly police officers witnessed the violence against our reporter Saturday evening, Philadelphia Police Captain Louis Campione threatened Chris with arrest if he did not comply with Campioneâs order to disperse.
Over both days other community members gathered in opposition to Frank Rizzo and Christopher Columbus, as well as to protect others in the neighborhood from harassment and bullying. âMost of the screaming I heard was from the people who want to keep the statue,â said local resident Mark Dougherty, adding that the gathered vigilantes were heard chanting, âUSA!â
Dozens were assaulted and aggressively ejected from the area throughout the evening by vigilantes as the police largely stood by.
On Monday, June 15, Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson (D-52) issued a statement in response to the weekend of violence in South Philly, remarking that the cityâs reaction to the vigilantism was a âstark contrastâ to its reaction towards Black Lives Matter protesters.
âThis country may have amended the Constitution to correct the blatant disregard of Black lives during its founding, but we have not done the work to change the perceptions and systems that continue to make it possible.â â Councilmember Katherine Gilmore Richardson
She stressed that the countryâs laws, as well as the application of the law, must be âapplied consistently and do not disproportionately harm Black people.â Gilmore Richardson added that the threats and attacks towards reporters were âcompletely unacceptableâ and that the freedom of the press must be upheld.
As of Tuesday reports continue coming in of assaults and attacks that have been made by vigilantes surrounding the Columbus statue in Marconi Plaza.
In a letter to Public Art Director Margot Berg, Mayor Kenney asked Ms. Berg to âinitiate as soon as possible the public process through the ArtCommissionâ regarding the possible removal of the statue.
âI believe that a public process, allowing for all viewpoints, especially those of indigenous people whose ancestors suffered under the rule of European settlers, to be in the best interest of the City.â â Philadelphia Mayor Kenney
As of Monday, June 15, an investigation is ongoing in the Philadelphia Police Department regarding the lack of police interference in the violent vigilante behavior over the past three days. Captain Campione has been transferred out of South Phillyâs 1st district, where he had worked for the past 10 years in his 40+-year-long career as a Philadelphia police officer.
It remains to be seen whether the Columbus statue in Philadelphia will stay. For now the demonstrated willingness of the armed vigilantes to use violence to keep others away from the Columbus statue may prevent anti-racist community members from toppling the statue themselves, but the city of Philadelphia may yet act to remove the memorial to a man responsible for Indigenous genocide as unrest over systemic racism continue rippling through the country.

Yesterday, South Philly racists aka The Gravy Seals/ Veal Team 6, gathered at the Christopher Columbus statue at Marconi Plaza where they got drunk, brandished weapons at all those that disagreed with them and throughout the day kettled people to jump them as cops watched. Multiple women and femmes, including a group of young teens, were sexually harassed and groped. Racial epithets were yelled at Black people in attendance. The police cleared some people from Marconi Plaza, leaving a group of racists by the statue. One sergeant said âWeâre only going to get involved if fists start flying- they can yell at each other all they wantâ but when the racists started to punch the sergeant just pulled out his phone and ignored it. The journalist from @unicorn.riot who was jumped on Saturday was targeted multiple times. They pushed a woman down in the middle of Oregon Avenue, beat her and stole her phone. Multiple people were pepper sprayed, and someone who was sprayed was subsequently punched in the face. One man from Veil Team 6 kept screaming âI want warâ all day. Make no mistake where fascists stand- they want a race war and they are backed by the police.
