I saw Italy was undergoing a national tragedy over the killing of a policeman and that they were remembering him, I was not aware of the rest of this.

So two Kalifornia gun-free kids go to gun free Europe and manage to get a weapon to kill someone...

There's a thread about this on DU (https://www.democraticunderground.com/10142346874), and predictably, Trump is invoked and rich people are blamed.
For multiple generations public schools have taught students:
* They are the highest animal evolved so far;
* There are no moral absolutes;
* Life is cheap and can be taken for personal convenience (aka abortion).
With that moral education, why be the least bit surprised that some behave like animals and take people's lives outside of the currently accepted time in life?!
Trump had zip to do with this. These kids did as they were taught by their parents and/or teachers and/or peers, as certainly as any economically poor white or brown or black kid from a "bad side of town".
BTW, Marin County is north of SF, across the Golden Gate Strait. Marin has a lot of affluent, very liberal, residents.

US teen suspected in killing of police officer blindfolded by police in Rome

They should probably consider themselves lucky, if blindfolding is all that happened, after the murder of an officer.

Earlier thread on this topic. (http://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,370029.0.html)

The CNN news article linked, mentioned Italy's FAR RIGHT Interior Minister, as if was a necessary component of coverage of a murder.

Topics Merged.

Boy did these two screw up big time.

BTW in their legal system, you are presumed guilty, until proved innocent.
Maybe the guy's pals back home will demonstrate at Bezerkley for them to be "exonerated."
Hold a sit-in. Yell, scream, bring in Antifa.

No death penalty I don't think but Salvini (interior minister) said they deserved hard labor for life... then, he sort of backtracked but... they'll probably get life imprisonment. I imagine an Italian prison would be no fun. A great tragedy that this police officer died.
