Agreed. Stabbed a cop to death over a cocaine deal gone bad. Fuck ‘em both. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

On the Amanda Knox case, 99% she was guilty. US media, at least in Seattle, portrayed her as innocent. Main screw up was that she was let out of jail. -c1steve | |||

Those two shitstains are past the justice system, and now are in the penal system. Anyone know what Italian Prison is like? Are we talking a Mario Triccoi / Mario Batalli with supervision or a "Midnight Express" kinda thing? Hopefully it's a "Midnight Express" meets "Hanoi Hilton" deal, because that's what they deserve for the rest of their long and miserable lives. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

I spent three years in Italy, courtesy of Uncle Sam and from time to time did joint town patrol with the Carabinieri, the Italian National Police. This was in the era of the Brigata Rosso / Bader Meinhof terrorism threat. My landlords office was bombed by the local faction of Brigata Rosso. That was interesting! The Carabinieri would ventilate you at the drop of a hat. If you were stopped by them, either on foot or in a vehicle they used "contact and cover" where the cover man kept a submachine gun on you during the stop. Their prisons were harsh, to say the least. When I would walk into a bar with an Italian cop, the place would go quiet immediately. On days off, my buddies and I shared a Venice Pensione with some of the local cops. We drank and partied with them and they would introduce us to the local chicks. Once on a joint patrol with a Carabinieri, he saw a rabbit and shot it with his submachine gun. I asked him if he had to account for his ammo (we damn sure did) and he said... No! We have lots of ammo! Things may have changed since I was there but I kinda doubt it.

Joining the EU and getting more lefties in gov may have changed things. Although Italy tends to be a bit loose n'fast compared to say the Germans or, Scandinavians. One thing most of the Euro police services, at least the national units go, once they go, they're coming in hot and cracking heads; seen some of those guys work over a bunch of soccer ultras or making an example out of a couple of protestors who got too salty..whoa civil liberties, what's that? The hard part for them is getting the authority to let them loose. | |||

Ignored facts still exist |
The police dogs over there kick ass too. There's a reason all of our local police dogs come from Europe. The instincts are just different. . | |||

These guys. They have nice toys My wife went to just outside Bologna for work nearly 3 dozen times. I got to tag along on a few trips and we'd travel on weekends and I'd go off by myself during the week. Her Italian co-workers told us there was usually no reason for tourists to interact with the carabinieri but on the off chance we did, "yes sir, no sir, what can we do to cooperate?" - no American arrogance.

Face it mom & dad, you fucked up, you raised a monster. Parents speak out after son sentenced to life in prison for killing Italian police officer

How did both of them forget their guns? Hard to understand that without context. Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here. Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN "All I need is a WAR ON DRUGS reference and I got myself a police thread BINGO." -jljones | |||

Does "life in prison" mean something different in Italy?
Is this required in Italy? | |||

I didn't watch the interview but I found this statement telling. It seems like he's saying that telling the truth means you can avoid the consequences of your behavior which, if he taught his son that, certainly sheds some light on how he ended up killing someone after trying to buy cocaine in a foreign country. | |||

Well I was taught very early on that stabbing people is bad... Drugs are bad too,.... So let’s re-cap, Don’t do drugs, and stabbing people is bad. Had those nice boys not done one or both, they wouldn’t be in a foreign prison right now. Consequences have repercussions.....here endth the lesson.

Yet he was buying illegal drugs, stealing a backpack and took hours to tell the police the truth.

You and me both....even though I’m retired I never leave the house w/o a pistol...when I was active- I did the same...even if it was to go to the garage. And I’ve been to Italy, the cops I met there were squared away...I’d feel naked w/o a gun.....I read one of them is literally in court because he wasn’t armed. I remember leaving my gun locked up in the fingerprint room ONCE when I was a rookie, taking someone to jail-much less actually working the streets, once in 18 years....

His diet consists of black coffee, and sarcasm. |
To borrow from Dirty Harry, nothing wrong with life sentences, as long as the right people get them. Good thing (for them) Italy doesn't have capital punishment. | |||

Well you know if you are going to kill someone at least make sure they are dead.... I don't see how the number of times the officer was stabbed matters. what does a life sentence in Italy really mean? In England it usually means 15 years. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||
