Sharking At The Beach

O LA BORSA O LA VITA

There are various ways to live two hours, we can consider 120 minutes, two blocks of 60, time for dinner, a phone call too long, and if you can go further, why not, time Senegalese massacre in a small neighborhood. Fortunately, these "dangers" they care institutions, and then live the flag, with yellow flame.

Setting aside the irony that it is not easy to prove a person experiencing some sad experiences, back to facts that are known for is still worth recalling. At 9:00 on Monday October 5 in the neighborhood of Rome Pigneto place in the city known for its ethnic component to be an evening meeting and for many students who live in the capital, four plainclothes agents of the Guardia di Finanza make for a group of Senegalese boys, tell them something and they go away, do not leave the neighborhood, continue to run in the area. At approximately 14:00 shouts. The Senegalese living in two buildings in Via Campobasso run into the street and see one of four officers a gun to the head of one of their compatriot, guilty, according to financiers, to have the portfolios to want to sell. After negotiations lasting some minutes, the Senegalese are able to convince officials to let go of the boy. Of course, the financiers of the initiative seems rather risky, but still not all, indeed, the worst is yet to come. At 18.00 some trucks come to the Finance Via Campobasso, where the majority of the Senegalese community in the area. "It starts the manhunt," says Alberto, an Italian boy who lives in the neighborhood, "were furious and struck those of color. There were very many, I can not say how many. " The financiers, in riot gear armed with batons and shields, began the macabre dance of violence involving the small streets of Pigneto for 2 hours. will be 25 in all still , 18 will be brought to the police station after they were initially taken to the barracks of the Guardia di Finanza, 7 but will remain there. Even today, two young Senegalese have been detained. In many reading this story might be led to believe that it was only a check handled badly, but looking with a magnifying glass you find this story and highlight new details that turn this bad day in a story in history. Omar and Abdul, two Senegalese boys arrested and taken first to the barracks and then to the police station, say they remain unbelievers from the story and add details of the complaint. "Often the police are here to give Pigneto to get our stuff and take it away, but had never done anything like this. I - said Omar - I was in front of my computer around 18:00 when they entered the house. They broke everything they could break. When they came in the morning the four agents in plain clothes told us that if we had not brought them the stuff would come into the house and would be taken alone. We have not said anything, and five hours later we heard our friend cry. They've put a gun to his head because had four portfolios they wanted to sell. We managed to convince them to leave and then it happened delirium. What I saw happen to the six I would never have imagined. " Many of the citizens of Pigneto say they tried to intervene to stop the violence of the Guardia di Finanza, but that he had received for answer that theirs was an anti-terrorism and that just before the Senegalese boys had wounded a policeman, then claim denial. E 'here shows that the most important key to understand what happened. Of the 25 arrested were charged and only two are still detained in the barracks, but not for infringement, nor for terrorism, but for resisting the police. So why speak to dozens of agents in the middle of the afternoon chasing the Senegalese meter by meter in riot gear?, Why take away the stuff from home if you decide later not to accuse them of counterfeiting but resisting a public officer?, and above all, why use so much violence terrorizing everyone in the neighborhood? According to the guys actually stopped the violence in the streets was only the appetizer, "their anger"-always says Omar, who is not concerned either to sell goods but makes flyers and has a regular residence living room - "exploded in the barracks. I have been hit several times with fists and slapped one of them told me that we should all pay for a financier had been hit. I heard a loud scream of the two boys who are still there, so that a lender had to shut the bedroom door which was locked. "

After all, it becomes logical, or at least it is for this writer, wondering if this is the safety of which is continually talking. If this is the right to run quietly in their own neighborhoods in politics filled newspapers and television, if this is what some still call democracy. It then becomes only the ridiculous rhetoric and condemnation of the violent acts that target diversity, especially if architects are to the institutions.
