Hearkening back to Mussolini's fascist gangs, the Blackshirts stalk women who leave often-violent relationships, win custody of the children or may be in a lesbian relationship. They regularly demonstrate outside the Family Court to harass women who are fighting custody battles and to recruit like-minded brethren. Blackshirts' leader, John Abbott, says he has no problem with fascism. Fascism sent Jews and all groups that big business targeted as threats or burdens - women, queers, people with disabilities, immigrants, unionists, radicals - to their death. Organised by Diversity in Safe Communities (DiSC).
