Dozens of fascist stickers were spotted in Polish Hill early Saturday, apparently put up Friday night. This action follows the appearance of fascist tattoo artist Lettia Suchevich in City Paper on Wednesday. Suchevich’s husband Warren Meikle is reportedly the lead singer of Aggravated Assault, whose stickers were among those found. All the stickers were removed in short order, but Polish Hill antifascists are advised to keep their eyes open for any new ones. The images after the jump should serve as a guide to what to look for.

Torchlight has received the following communique from The Mildred Harnack Appreciation Society. We repost it here in its entirety.
This week’s City Paper featured a story on woman tattoo artists by freelance “journalist” Kat Rutt. The piece included a picture of Lettia Suchevich, a white supremacist with a swastika tattooed on her right arm, and wearing a t-shirt advertising a fascist metal band called Aggravated Assault. The backlash was immediate. City Paper was swamped with calls, emails, and social media posts, and quickly removed the story from their web site and apologized. The Mildred Harnack Appreciation Society thanks City Paper for alerting Pittsburgh, however inadvertently, to the presence of a Nazi in our midst, and offers the following additional information in the hope that it may be useful.

On entering the Kingsley Center it was immediately obvious the police were not interested in hosting a large gathering. The space provided was small, with only about 30 chairs set up. In addition they had done very little outreach to promote the meeting. Nonetheless the room filled quickly, with most of the remaining chairs getting set up and numerous latecomers standing in the back. Total attendance was close to 100.
Police present were all from Zone 5 or the major crimes unit, with no sign of chief Scott Schubert or other top brass. No one from the Allegheny County Police turned up either, a point we will return to later on. Other luminaries included state representative Ed Gainey, Brandi Fisher of the Alliance for Police Accountability, and Black Political Empowerment Project’s Tim Stevens.
