Some new details:
* The officers were not armed, which has led to some questions.
* The drug dealer might be an informant.
* One American teen has dual citizenship but lived in the U.S.
Holy Toledo. Drug deals gone bad are not for the faint of heart. Getting revenge sometimes doesn’t work out.
That didn’t take long.
As for the Carabiniere, I remember those guys always carrying machine guns...while they patrolled the streets. They weren’t shy about having weapons.
Odd the cop didn’t have a gun.
Actions have consequences. No sympathy for drug users that turn to violence. Let the Italian justice system run out.
officer Mario Cerciello Rega and his wife....Just Married 40 days ago.
Both this murder case and the Kercher case involved American suspects. And both cases made headline news.
But, the opposite also happens: some Americans have been murdered in Italy.
This 19yo American student was murdered in Rome in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExNK2FMJDxY
Sad to say, I never heard his story until now.
SCUMBAGS are always gonna be SCUMBAGS; kill’em both and be done with it.
