The fired Hunter College professor who held a machete to a New York Post reporter’s neck founded a group behind “f–k police” protests that trashed subway stations in a spree of anarchic vandalism.
Shellyne Rodriguez, 45, is a founder of Decolonize This Place, an anarchist group that vandalized the city’s subway in 2019 with anti-cop graffiti, and occupied the Whitney Museum of American Art for several months in 2018 and 2019.
Rodriguez was fired as an adjunct by Hunter College on Tuesday just hours after she was caught on video holding the blade to Post reporter Reuven Fenton’s neck while threatening to “chop” him up outside her Bronx apartment.
