recent evidence came to light suggesting that sacco was maybe guilty.

it doesn't really matter, cause the issue is really about whether or not they received a fair trial (they did not), but ballistics matched the bullet from the murder victim to Sacco's gun.

HOWEVER, EVEN MORE RECENT EVIDENCE suggests that there were several dirty cops who mixed one of the bullets from Sacco's gun in with the other bullets, and that it is a frame up. So I guess the current consensus is that they were both innocent.

Sacco looks innocent, but I'm not sure about Vanzetti, who in any case lived out his days as a bachelor. There are pictures of him with even more outrageous mustaches, and I have to say the ladies were right to steer clear.

I think you can learn all you need to know about the high minded political philosophy of anarchism from this political cartoon of a foreigner about to rape the statue of liberty

Early 20th Century European anarcho-rapism hasn't gotten much attention from historians as far as I'm aware. A pity.

anarcho-rapism is a rightist deviation
