From New York Post (tabloid):
An Italian priest gave a group of far-left rioters the middle finger in sign of resistance against the agitators who took over the streets of Milan under the guise of student protests, pillaging the city with violence and looting.
Father Giannicola Maria Simone stood at the doorstep of the Church of Sant’Alessandro di Zebedia near the historic Piazza Sant’Alessandro as the mob of youngsters rushed by and gave them the universal sign to scatter off in front of a shocked parishioner after the violent protests erupted on Oct. 17. One of the unidentified agitators raised his hands, pointing both middle fingers at Simone, who nonchalantly returned the crude gesture, sticking up his left hand and flipping the bird, according to a now-viral video of the encounter.
