Man Goes On Murderous Shooting Spree In Central Milan Court, Kills Judge, Lawyer, Witness

Tyler Durden's picture




 

In a shocking development, earlier today in the Palace of Justice in Central Milan located 1 kilometer away from Milan's Duomo cathedral - a major tourist attraction - a scene unfolded as if lifted from an Italian mob film, when a man on trial in a bankruptcy case opened fire killing the judge, a lawyer and a witness in the case against him according to emergency services reports.

Reuters reports that the Police arrested the man, whom they named as Claudio Giardiello, in Vimercate, a town north of Italy's financial center, Interior Minister Angelino Alfano tweeted. He is being held at a military barracks nearby.

Emergency services said a fourth person was found dead in the court buildings with no apparent sign of injury. They gave no further details.

 

Giardiello shot the judge, Fernando Ciampi, in his office and killed his co-defendant and the lawyer in the courtroom.

 

"I heard a series of shots, I threw myself in the first office I could find and I thought I was going to have a panic attack," Massimilano Monti, who works for a legal office inside the court, said.

 

"I have been coming here for 20 years, it's the first time something like this has happened."

According to Reuters, "the incident raises questions about security at the city's public venues less than a month before the Milan Expo opens on May 1, the first time the city has held the world trade fair for more than a hundred years."

Another question raised is what is really going on in the Italian economy if one person's desperation is sufficient to send them on such an incomprehensible killing spree.

Don't expect any answers.

God, upon seeing the vengeance heaped upon a group of collaborators rounded up at the of the war, boomed "Vengeance is mine!".

An uneasy silence fell for a few seconds, then a voice from among the vengeance seekers/takers yells out, "Take a number, pal!".

The cacophony of vengeance resumed.

"The profession of lawyer dates back to ancient Greece when the orators demonstrated many of the qualities of lawyers today."

The only difference was, they used daggers instead of guns back then.

A lawyer died with no money, so a fundraiser was set up for his funeral.

At the fundraiser, the suggested donation was $20.

Italy has become a fascist dictatorship, where people on the street live in fear of the police. I traveled in a train from Italy into Switzerland, and the Financial Police came walking through the train. The picked on a young Chinese woman and demanded to see what she had in her bag. She demanded IDs of the five men in civilian clothes, only wearing a yellow tag over the civilian clothes, saying "Financial Police". They had none, and an argument ensued, where they eventually stopped the train before the Swiss border.

This young girl had guts, coming from Hong Kong, she was not used to such behaviour. They eventually let her go. Unpleasant, heavy handed and clumsy, they were looking for people traveling with cash.

Useless, worthless, paper which one day will be fit only for one thing.

Italy, I can understand people loosing it. And it will spread.

"Actionists, beatniks, hippies, and serial killers were all pure libertarians who advanced the rights of the individual against social norms and against what they believed to be the hypocrisy of morality, sentiment, justice, and pity. Having exhausted the possibilities of sexual pleasure, it was reasonable that individuals should turn their attention to the wider pleasure of cruelty."
