The spirit of rebelliousness against tyranny isn’t just alive in America. In Italy, over 50,000 restaurants opened up in defiance of Italy’s draconian lockdown measures with patrons revolting against police who come to shut these restaurants down.
According to “Off-Guardian,” Italian restaurant owners coordinated an online day of defiance called “#IoOpro” or “I am opening.” The day, which occurred on the 15th of January, was the largest country-wide act of civil disobedience since the lockdowns began.
Politicians were even in on the rebellion with Italian opposition MP Vittorio Sgarbi saying to restauranteurs in an interview to “open up, and don’t worry, in the end, we will make them eat their fines.”
On the day #IoOpro occurred, police arrived at restaurants to shut them down but found themselves confronted by patrons who demanded they leave and reminded them who pays their salaries. Others shouted “freedom” as they escorted police out of the building....

This is the way.
They can’t punish all of them!
Shouldn’t have stopped at just one day.
FREE-DOM!!!
Exactly! US restaurant owners are you listening?
This is what all of America needs to do. Just say no...
Unfortunately, they can......
They will fine them out of existence.....
+ X 50,000
Flood the zone. That’s how you do it.
Forza Italia!!
Red states are Already open. Blue states will open up now that Biden is President
Others shouted “freedom” as they escorted police out of the building....
I suspect they actually shouted “la libertà”.
When will American restaurants do the same?
I say inauguration day.
I live in Sicily. Italians have had it with this lockdown crap. Major rebellion is in the air. Bravo! Good luck with your Great Reset wet dream, Schwab, you freakin’ scumbag.
I don’t know if it will be that soon. I think there is going to be a lot of chaos and confusion in the next few days, but I think we will see major reopenings by the end of the month.
Of course we’ll reopen here....Biden is soon to take office.
Frogs are jumping out of the pot...
During the last closure the owner of the gym that I go to said "We will stay open".
No publicity, no fanfare, no cops.
Small town 1 hour south of Pittsburgh.
No mask nazis around.
Wear one if you want.
I can smell the sauce, good for them!
Mass rebellion, that’s the way.
By the way, wonder how the guys in Sicily and Naples are feeling about their businesses being forced to close? Maybe they will show their appreciation.
