Behind the Bastards Presents: Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff

Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Fair enough. And what does this have to do with Violet Gibson? Well, this is going to turn into one of the best zings against America that I've ever read about. On July 23rd, 1927, Mussolini wrote... It is certain that the execution of Sacco-Vanzetti would provide the pretext for a vast and continuous agitation throughout the world.

And fascist newspapers were now contrasting the American government as more totalitarian than the fascist Italian government. Because the Italian system, the fascist system, had let Violet Gibson return to her own country. And there is no death penalty in Italy at this point. That's nice.
