This message from the other band member appeared on Facebook yesterday:
With heavy thoughts and hurting hearts, our collective has reached a consensus concerning very serious allegations against a highly regarded member of our group.
Geo String/ Vlad Blyat has engaged in a number of abusive actions against those he calls comrade. He has committed sexual assault, physical/verbal abuse, controlling/ manipulative behavior and he refuses to own his actions.
He was offered a path to restorative justice, but he again refused to acknowledge or respond to the allegations of abuse in a meaningful way.
This public outing of Geo/Vlad, as a rapist and serial abuser is the only option we were left with. He must be held accountable by the collective if he wont accept accountability on his own.
The included a line about bricking women in the teeth, and implying stamping on their heads.
Someone's written on their facebook page "So, let me get this straight. A man who advocated violence against women has been found to be perpetrating violence against women, and people are surprised?"
Well, exactly.
The idiots aren't calling the police on him though, as they don't believe in the police (as they're anarchists). Or - the man who broke this news says they won't anyway. I really hope the women he is accused of assaulting feel differently and go to the police.
