after St. Louis police unions instructed officers to publicly display The Punisher's insignia (the mark of a lawless, fascist murderer) the comic book community was quick to point out the stupidity, and the frankly horrifying message sent by supposed peace officers endorsing a maniac. So it's a good thing The Punisher personally confirms he hates cops who see him as a friend… making every cop who "wears his mark" or calls themselves a "fan" look like shameful fool in the process.

Did one of us misread? Title says fascist murderer like I took it as he kills them.

Grammar is funny that way it could be interpreted your way or it could be interpreted as "fascist who murders"

English is pretty amazing. You can say two (or more) different things with just two words.

I would guess you misread that, it seems like a grammatically unlikely interpretation given the context.

In the article, the phrase is describing the punisher in light of the police worship of a " lawless, fascist murderer", so I would expect both of those adjectives to be referring to the punisher.

And I don't think the punisher is known for killing fascists either, although I'm willing to defer to someone who has read any of the comics.
