Murder of elderly couple in Sicily fuels Italy's growing anti-immigrant sentiment
The Telegraph (UK) ^ | September 1st, 2015 | By Nick Squires, Rome

Italy’s simmering anti-immigrant sentiment has been stoked by the murder of an elderly couple in their home in Sicily, allegedly by an African asylum seeker.

Mamadou Kamara, an 18-year-old from the Ivory Coast, allegedly slit the throat of Vincenzo Solano, 68, and then attacked his Spanish-born wife, Mercedes Ibanez, 70.

Ms Ibanez fell to her death from a second-floor balcony, during a robbery that turned violent.

Mr Kamara is one of thousands of migrants and refugees living at a vast reception centre at nearby Mineo, in south-eastern Sicily.

They are accommodated there after arriving by boat from Libya, and wait sometimes for months to have their asylum applications assessed.

The migrants are allowed to come and go freely from the facility, a former US military base where prostitution, links with organised crime and the trade in illicit goods is said to be rife.

Acts of love being played out in Italy too, it would seem.

USA commits cultural suicide, and the rest of Europe follows.

there was a time when Sicilians would have dealt with this efficiently and quickly.

I have a feeling they will. This is Sicily after all. Lots of very long memories.

All the Libyan refugees should be split up between Pelosi, Obama and Hillary Clinton’s lawns.

The Italian and French Navies are going to have to strafe and sink these boats if they don’t want the entire population of the Africa and Middle East entering into their countries. They must make it more dangerous to try to escape than to stay where they are.

Just turn the ships back.

Make it clear that there will be no more rescues — only interdictions.

It will not end until it is shown that it is more dangerous to leave than to stay.

Big mistake. Strafe the vessels of the approaching invaders. Accomodating these people is national suicide.

Ah, diversity. If there was any justice in the world instead of this elderly couple the victims should have been rabidly open borders, “cultural diversity” types.
