Last night in Milan, the italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi was hit in the face with a souvenir of Milan’s Duomo (irony of ironies), suffering lesions to the face and a broken nose, by a man with a history of psychological problems.
In english (BBC)…
In italian (La Repubblica)
...and pictures too!
Yesterday afternoon (almost anticipating that evening’s events) on Sky Cinema X they ran The Boondock Saints. For those of you not familiar with the film, it’s about two brothers, deeply devout catholics, out to rid Boston (you gotta start somewhere) of all evil, evildoers included. In the end, it’s a philosophical question of “the ends justifying the means” and vigilantism.
My point is regardless of where you stand politically, or what your opinion is of Mr. Berlusconi, violence is never the solution.
I repeat: violence is never the solution.
That said…it couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
