Election Night Hate Crime Teen Has Another Violent Outburst

One of the Staten Island teenagers convicted on charges from a series of Election Night racially-motivated attacks hasn't been able to keep his nose clean while awaiting sentencing for the federal hate crime. Troubled teen Bryan Garaventa was arrested again yesterday after freaking out on an ex-girlfriend. Garaventa allegedly went into a jealous rage Tuesday night after seeing his ex with another male and took it out on her car, punching the windshield and kicking the door. The eighteen-year-old then left ten late night messages over the course of an hour, threatening to blow up her car and kick her front door in if she didn't pick up. He's now been charged with third-degree criminal mischief, third-degree menacing, third-degree unauthorized use of a vehicle, fourth-degree stalking and two counts of second-degree aggravated harassment. A law enforcement official told the SI Advance, "If you wanted to find a way to piss off your sentencing judge, this guy's done it in spades. There's probably no better way."

Unfortunately, most of the guinea brats on SI act like this. He's not atypical of the guido males, from pre-teen all the way up past middle age. THis happens more often than is reported.

Thank God, they all left Bensonhurst and moved to Staten Island. Now somebody should find a way to build a razor fence around SI to keep them there. Stuff a brasciola up his ass!!!

Hes obviously a maladjusted psycho and he definitely needs to be in jail. His parents should be put in there with him.

What I can't quite believe is that this psychotic doughboy ever had a girlfriend.

And is that the word "postal" on his t-shirt?

schadenfreudian mensch

Actually it probably says "Aeropostale," but I like your version better.

NannyState

Yep, he went Aeropostale on his girlfriend's car. "Any description of the perp?"

"He's a good kid, he's our baby," the mother would say.

Boy when I called him a low-brow, knuckle-dragging, troglodyte, orc I guess I wasn't off the mark.
