“Two minutes of research shows that this garbage fake news is total BS and you should be ashamed of yourself for posting it.”
And four minutes of research shows you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
“1. It’s Italy, not Austria.”
Actually, if you did more research, you would know that it is Sout Tyrol which was part of Austria until WWI. It is still a German speaking area, but has - for the last 100 years - belonged to Italy against the will of the South Tyrolese.
“2. It’s a strange local Italian tradition where young Italians dress up like Krampus and run around hitting random people with bendable branches.”
It’s an AUSTRIAN-BAVARIAN custom/tradition. It is NOT practiced by Italians. Krampus is a German name, not Italian. You proved this is Austrian and not Italian with the video you posted.
“Here’s a sample from 2010:”
The video text is in SOUTH TYROLESE and NOT ITALIAN. Everyone in the video is speaking the South Tyrloese dialect of German. Hence, they use a South Tyrolese version of Teuffel Tag (devil’s day) in the opening credits or whatever you want to call the opening text.
All the people attacked by the Krampus in the video posted with the thread were black. They were not South Tyrolese. The Krampus also kicked one man they swatted who went to the ground. I think that shows this was about real animus and not swatting people as mere Teuffel Tag high jinks.
Thanks Red Badger for posting this.
Isn’t this the same area where Outzi the Iceman was found in a glacier, and Italy and Austria disputed for years as to who owned the body?........................
There’s one point in the video where a target goes down and gets kicked in the head (0:20 mark in second video) — indicates this was serious.
It makes sense that if some muzzies tried to start trouble when there were a whole bunch of masked young men already psyched up, that they would get more than they expected.
So you agree. "It's Italy, not Austria." Thank you. Or if the people of Southern California want to reunite with Mexico, does that mean I'm wrong to say that San Diego is the United States, not Mexico? Oh and by the way, before South Tyrol was Austrian, it was Italian, and so on back and forth since the days of Charlemagne. Though I agreed it's a strange local tradition but not a generally Italian one, even though this video is from Italy.
So a group of people with sticks who normally go around hitting people as part of organized "high jinks" encounter a group of all black people (as you describe them) and they "kicked one man they swatted who went to the ground" which shows"real animus".
Question for you: other than your opinion of the color of the victims' skin, what part of the video suggests that it was all their fault, and not the fault of the guys kicking the fallen "black" person in the head?
