"young man of good family." We are talking about five thugs who murdered Nicola Tommasoli. Guilty of not wanting to "give" them a cigarette, after regular notice. Young ultras. Ultra-young. Occasionally, the far right. Neo-Nazi or neo-fascists. Young ultras. Used to having a stadium on hand to show their muscles, their slogans, their symbols against others. Enemies. The "other". Not only those of the other political party. The other party. But "others" in general. The foreigners, gypsies. The Jews. The weak. Flout the "ordinary" people. To whom do not like violence. Those in the evening in the city, pulling late with friends. And walking in the city center. I guess he can still be a city. Place where, in fact, walking with friends. Smoke a cigarette. Chat. Place of relations, in short. Network of communities. Not a political ambush. But aggression "by chance". Who knows: the Northern League could be attacked, maybe even fascist. At that time they were just ordinary people. On Finite way of extra-ordinary people. Super-men on leave. Young men of good family, even those who, in Turin, forcing firefighters fold. After being surrounded and attacked a few nights ago. The night before the party. Fighters impudent and imprudent. They demanded to fine cars parked everywhere, in Piazza Vittorio Veneto. In the city center. Even along the tram rails. So the night is not running. Claimed, the vigilance. To stop the endless party. The evenings, as they call it now. The white night is celebrated every weekend. Claimed to impede the free access to cars and SUVs, of course, are masters of the night. (Actually, even the day). Obviously the revolt of these young men of good family against such brazen arrogance. Thus, hundreds of them, forcing firefighters to flee. Not without their having struck a few blows, one or more strokes. So, for future reference. Of course, in this case do not have them slaughtered. They were neo-Nazis and neo-fascists. Just regular guys, "good family". You are limited to state law to control the territory. Filming the scene, regularly broadcast on "You tube". To order copies.
These "children of good family, technologically equipped and experienced. Luckily: they are born in very different times and away from the bloody 1968, who will celebrate the nefarious, forty years later. The legacy of illusion fails and violence remain. These young men of good family, however, do not look away. Do not try and figure utopias of other worlds. Communism, Mao, Che Guevara ... If anything - some of them - look back. Rewrite stories from which isolate what interests them. The myth of the force. The seed of violence. Farming, daily, exercising the hatred against others. Poor, beggars, gypsies and foreigners. Illegal or not. Why has not distinguished but categorize and hit the "other". The same fear that makes the common people. What ever would dream of burning their camp, let alone to kill and beat a boy because it gives you a cigarette. It could be their son, the attacked. And the attackers could be their children. Young men of good family. Those used to blow off steam on Saturday evening, nightclub, bar or in the center. In the squares and streets. Many glasses and some tablet to keep revs up. To kill time with the boredom. And the anguish that you take in this normal life, normal in this society, in this city normal. Where bans are common and taxation rules are unacceptable. Where to say "good" is an admission of guilt. And the weakness of a vice to be punished. Young men of good family. Parents who deprecate this company without authority, without restrictions and without punishment. And then are indignant: in front of the prohibitions and punishments. Authoritarian authorities. When they hit them and their children. Always the last to know. They fall from the clouds, if combine what they find, those of their children, who have given everything. No questions asked. Without knowing anything about them. These parents of good family. We have no votes against this school. Against professors who do not comply. Against teachers who can not control. Do not know how to punish. These parents. They do not understand and do not accept: that professors impose respect, command and punish. And maybe rejected. Their children. Young men of good family. Sons of good family. Of children. (La Repubblica, May 5, 2008)
