Fascists Film Themselves Vandalising Anti-Mussolini Comics
At an Italian comics show, earlier this month, the stand of an publisher who published a antifascist comic book parody of Mussolini was vandalized, by a protestor who spilled drinks over the stand, pretending it as an accident before departing exclaiming "comics are over".

He's a member of the Italian fascist group Casa Pound – and his brother is running for mayor in Rome.
The publisher says they caused between 500 and 1000 Euros in damage.
Unlike, say, Hitler in Germany, Mussolini's memory isn't shunned in Italy, there are still fascist parties and Mussolini's relatives are openly still involved in politics.
