Good morning, everyone! Today’s flavor of fascist is “bootlicking failson,” provenance: Watertown, Massachusetts.

Say hello to Marco Coppola! He’s the maskless idiot in the gray shirt.

Marco wants everyone to know that he considers anyone opposed to police violence a “loser.” He said so when harassing protestors last month who were standing against the targeting of a Watertown teacher for telling her students about Black Lives Matter!

He also had a mouth full of homophobic, transphobic, and racist slurs and threats of violence, typically made from behind a line of cops. He shoved a cop while trying to get at a protestor, but of course, Watertown’s finest patted him on the head and probably gave him a lollipop

Losing is something Coppola knows a thing or two about. A “lifelong Watertown townie,” Marco had a moment in the sun as a standout basketball player at Watertown High School. He even got into Worcester Polytechnic Institute on the strength of his ability!

Alas, he didn’t make it past freshman year. Did he wash out due to grades? Conduct? Injuries? Maybe he just couldn’t ball that well in the big leagues. Who knows? Who cares?

A classic “guy who peaked in high school,” Coppola has dedicated his post-college career to working for his dad’s landscaping firm and being generally unpleasant.

Showing the finesse and intelligence we’ve come to expect from the “back the blue” crowd, he wore a shirt advertising his workplace while screaming slurs and threats. (0:03 and again at 1:03) 

Reports vary, but it seems likely Daddy Coppola was there too to call for the cancellation of a Watertown teacher for exposing the precious darlings of the town to ideas, so Marco’s job is probably safe.

Anyway, if you want a landscaper in the Watertown area that doesn’t employ violent bigoted failsons, maybe give the Coppolas and Watertown Landscaping a pass.
