MSV wins another politically ginned up harassment case

Related: The original MSV story covering the HHA June meeting: “Insubordination mounts as the Banana Republic unravels.”
In August, MSV was targeted during a special HHA meeting at City Hall, avoiding assault but was robbed of a camera bag containing equipment and wallet. None of the stolen items were returned and the story with unedited video was captured in “The Fracas.”
From the June 16th MSV story:

Next: More on the four hour meeting marathon. During the meeting, as MSV moved an empty chair from the rear of the room to the front and sat three feet from the HHA Board dais, a charge of being shoved filed as “harassment” was claimed by a Hispanic woman. Working in tandem standing directly to her right, Beth Mason political operative Matt Calicchio. This with dozens of people and the HHA board in sight and a police officer standing not seven feet away.
The Hoboken police took the false allegation and a ticket is slated to be mailed in yet another court action against this editor.
An earlier 2012 harassment charge was lodged by Matt Calicchio himself, claiming he was repeatedly contacted by MSV against his will. Calicchio’s false claim he requested the alleged contact cease was thrown out of Jersey City Municipal Court.
During an early recess prior to the phony harassment claim, Calicchio came within three feet attempting to take a dozen photos on his cell phone claiming MSV was “an elected official.”
He followed repeatedly saying, “How’s your dead brother.”
