Grae Hosmanek alleges the protestor yelled 'gas the Jews' as he held a Nazi sign with a swastika on it.
Grae Hosmanek, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, was arrested and charged with vandalism for ripping up the sign of a protestor who allegedly yelled"gas the Jews" while holding a Nazi sign featuring a swastika at a student-led event in May. Now she's fighting the charge, saying it's not fair,"...considering the offender is walking free."
"We decided, let's change the ticket to vandalism because that would look better on her record, and additionally it would be $200 less of a forfeiture amount that she would have to pay if found guilty," Chief Joseph LeMire of the UWM Police Department told Yahoo News. Chief LeMire said the situation was a balance between respecting free speech and preventing the instigation of violence. He says he spoke with the protestor and indicated that the intent of the protestor wasn't violence."I don't think he understood what [the swastika] symbolizes," Chief LeMire said to WTMJ.
"They weren't taking care of it," Hosmanek told Fox 6."I mean no disrespect by that. The minute that you start threatening somebody, or saying in some way that you want to cause somebody harm, that is no longer OK."
