Ultras are not terrorists

Amazing is happening in Italy. The court in Rome ruled yesterday that the four have to do after the violent clashes in Rome after the death of Gabriele Sandris arrested ultras to do with terrorism. And not even 4 weeks after the fact! The "tribunal del riesame" chaired by Antonio Lo Surdo reserves Claudio Gugliotti, 21, and Saverio Candamano, 27 years in custody, but leaves the fall exacerbated by the prosecutor accused of terrorism. The two ultras, former fan of the Roma, Lazio were the other, on the night of the 11th November involved in the attack on the police station in Via Guido Reni and charged with destruction, vandalism and the throwing of objects against persons.

Only be placed under house arrest, however Valerio Minotti, and he was 21 years, and (for several days) Lorenzo Sturiale, 30, both charged with only minor crimes. Partly satisfied with the decision manifests itself as well Gugliottis lawyer Francesco Romeo: "It is an important step forward for the defense. On the furious reaction of the Tifosi the prosecution with equal Emozionalität has ("emotività") responded by denouncing serious crimes, culminating in the accusation of terrorism. It was a reaction due solely to the circumstances, the attempt was unsuccessful, the stereotype of a new 'enemy', the non-existent "ultra terrorista" introduce into the public consciousness. "

Serious doubts about the events on the night as well as relate to the arrest of that very Claudio Gugliotti, who had, two days after his arrest due to severe breathing problems moved to the hospital on an emergency basis Sandro Pertini. Fortunately, his injury was opposed by the initial diagnosis proved to be injury-induced lung damage, which resolved after a few days. Hard to imagine that these injuries should have nothing to do with the dynamics of the arrest. The prosecution was in any case both of the prison Regina Coeli, then from the Santo Spirito Hospital and later informed by the medical expert for the defense.

The prosecution, which has not yet won through to any procedure relating to the allegations of medical records is, however, the hope for a follow up to the offense of terrorism 'on yet. In the next few days, this is another approach is expected to appeal is quite probable. The success of such an approach is more than questionable - two years ago undertook to append been the prosecutor of Bologna trying the accusation of terrorism to an entirely different factual situations as an aggravating circumstance and failed grandiose to the legal opinion of the Supreme Court, who performed very clear that are subject to terrorism accusation the deeds a fundamentally political motive needs and that the coup plan are also those agents need to make this revolution also appear to be successful ( "lo scopo eversivo (...) perseguito con Mezzi potential elements suscettibili Tues realizzarlo" ) . That sounds more like common law sense and common sense. Because that whether the fatal action of the police forces against one of them and the response of the league, which was to continue the operation of gambling unimpressed, angry tifosi had as its primary goal is a revolution in mind and also have the means to pull off such a revolution is beyond my wildest fantasies. Dear children, "No to drugs!"

The single most vehement reaction to the dropping of the terrorism allegations, the self-acceptance, the Home Office came grudgingly, because even from a corner, for the common sense is not exactly known, by the deputy Jole Santelli of Forza Italia. This keeps the decision is unjustified and points out that it is their opinion, something else, whether it overturns a dumpster or solid state power attacks. Tolerance was in a civilian government completely out of place when it comes to someone uncontrollably angry and attacking the security forces. I would ask the lady likes what she thinks about it, if those very state power a few hours before, about 80 meters a dormant football targeted shoots from behind through the rear window of a car on the highway rest area, and whether their definitions of "paese civile" and "forze dell 'ordine "really with the events around the death of Gabriele Sandri (or even the death of Filippo Racitis cover).

The strike continues, however, the ultras. In the Italian legal system is functioning is not better here first.
