[Antonio the Sixth]

I can't feel any kind of compassion.

[Joe Republic]

However you feel about the man, he's seventy-three.  Despicable.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Despicable.

Not as much as the man himself.

[Joe Republic]

Sure.  Let's not fight the man with ideas, debates, elections, etc.  Let's instead feel good because somebody punched him and made his face bleed.

Stop it please. I never said it was a good thing. Actually, it's horrible news considering how he will take advantage of it to kill any opposition (accusing them to something they have no responsibility of). But don't ask me to feel sorry for him. I'm not even minimally, neither I should.

I'm sure this sh**t will use this for political gain, as he does for everything. But the incident is rather amusing, politics aside. Usually a pie in the face is more common, but a punch/object hurled at you? That's funny.

[Eraserhead]

The man is a criminal. I find it amusing. The guy hit him with a mini-statue.

Whether this is funny or not depends on what the statue was off.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

That's why he should retire

This isn't the first time Berlusconi got hit in the face by a hard object at a rally, apparently. Someone hit him with a camera in 2004.

This.

Beating up an old man is pretty cowardly.

[Landslide Lyndon]

Beating up an old man is pretty cowardly.

Uhhh...

I think he was surrounded by his bodyguards.

A seventy-three years old with links with the mafia.

[k-onmmunist]

Despicable.

Gloryifying violence against opposing politicians?

Yes, very liberal

[Scam of God]

All the same, I don't feel particularly sorry for Berlusconi. He's a grade-A populist asswipe.

Learn to read, idiot.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Well, what I dislike more here being the images passing in circles in news. Seems blood is still tasty, damn, I don't like when the smell of blood is spread like that.

In that sens, I wouldn't congratulate the sig of Antonio.

Outside of that, nah, he doesn't deserve that, that's just stupid to say otherwise, no one deserves violence, that should be that clear.

Though, now, the directly concerned people, il grande cogliono di Italia, shouldn't be really surprised of such reactions with all what happened recently, spontaneous violent anger still exist, I don't legitimate it, but people like him should be aware it's still part of nature.

There is also something I must say, when I heard journalists saying it had been done by a 'mentally insane' people, my mind directly went on something like: "oh, was it really a mentally disordered person, or is that a better that he is considered as a 'mentally insane person'?", in that country in which the media are so close of this cogliono, the official version might have differences with the accurate one. Anyways, I wouldn't make a big deal of it, not a big paranoia, but I must say it directly passed into my mind.
