@annonovantadue Okay, they were "anarchists who wanted to live in a better world"? Isn't that a bit of a contradiction in and of itself? Since when has anarchy ever produced a better world? As I stated earlier, there has never been any evidence to clear Sacco and Vanzetti and there was plenty of physical and circumstantial evidence to justify conviction. I suspect they were guilty as sin and have for some reason become unlikely martyrs since their executions.

@JackKangaroo1 Sacco and Vanzetti were arrested 'cause they have some pistols. The crime they were executed for was committed by Celestino Madeiros, who had confessed to the Braintree murders. They were executed because they were anarchic and they were Italian. They wanted to live in a better world. In 1977 Massachusetts governor said: "any disgrace should be forever removed from their names." Please tell the truth and respect two good men, unfairly executed.

Contrary to what she tells us there has never been any definitive evidence clearing Sacco and Vanzetti of the crimes they were executed for. They were members of a radical and violent Italian anarchist organization known for political assassination and random bombings and robberies. They were arrested while trying to retrieve a car that had been used in a robbery turned homicide and both Sacco and Vanzetti were found to be carrying pistols and shotgun shells of the caliber used in the murders.
