Assault on Berlusconi

Freepers react to the the crazy guy who bloodied Berlusconi with a statue recently:

GeronL knows what conclusion to jump to:

probably a leftwinger.

This world needs a purge of the leftists so badly.

vladimir998 prefers to be a bit more specific with his rampant speculation:

The attacker is a 32 year old male. He may have hit him with a rock. I wonder if the attacker will turn out to be a Muslim or a leftist? He looks like he’s Italian rather than North African but who knows?

Vanders9 knows there has to be limits:

I hate Bersculoni because he’s a thoroughly corrupt, immoral, womanising incompetent.

But I dont think its right to assault him in public.

At least, not in public.

cubreporter takes it seriously:

Sorry. I can’t joke about this. It is one thing to disagree with someone and their policies. But to throw something that will cause injury is just unjustified. Remember, someone threw a tomato at Sarah Palin while she was holding her little son. Thank God it did not hit her or the baby. I didn’t think that was funny either nor did a lot of other people. It’s out of control. Call me a prude or whatever but this kind of behavior is nothing but street thugging and crude.

Thank God the tomato did not hit Sarah's baby!

ichabod1 agrees. Also, there is a narrative:

It’s TOTALLY street thugging. It’s right out of the anarchist and nazi and communist playbook. They’re going to keep right on doing it and escalating until they feel the pain of consequences. I hope the jackass gets raped to an inch of his life in a filthy Italian dungeon before he gets out. The a-hole who threw his shoes at Pres. Bush did what, about 18 months I think in an Iraqi prison. It seemed fair enough, since he missed.

cubreporter later mellows his opposition:

It MAY be appropriate when defending our freedoms. But to toss something at someone getting in or out of a car or signing a book ... well, it’s not my style.
