THANK GOD FOR MY PROTESTING ITALIAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS!THEY MAKE ME PROUD!



From Crux:

In the pope’s own backyard, protests erupted throughout Italy after Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte over the weekend announced the latest round of new restrictions as Italy’s infection rates continue to rise, including orders for bars and restaurants to close at 6p.m. and the complete closure of cinemas and gyms.

In Rome, Milan, Turin, and Naples, people have taken to the streets in opposition to the national directive as well as additional regional restrictions. With the loss of mass tourism and limited business hours taking an additional toll on Italy’s sprawling restaurant and hotel industries, poverty levels have shot through the roof as millions of people now find themselves unemployed with little compensation from the government and no savings left to cushion another lockdown.

Yet deaths from the Chinese Flu keep ratcheting down. More liberal hysteria and loss of freedom. Mussolini should have tried this angle to assert control

The protests have turned violent—peaceful to violent seems to be where this all goes in every country these days.
