“And won’t this rascal be shot? Some people are tried and banned from working because they say that a Ustasha rascal is a blockader, and he himself says so, and a criminal like this is nothing. He is a free journalist. He should be shot and those who support him should be burned. That would be democracy. Fuck the Ustasha.”
