#1 One recent fatality was a thief shot dead by the owner of a tobacconist that he was trying to rob.

To the Europeans, self-defense IS vigilantism. Sad, really.

#4 Visited Naples last summer. Largest sprawling urban area in Italy and the region. Large regional port city with regular ferry boats from Tunisa and other North African ports. I asked out guide about "urban problems". He immediately said "immigrants who know nothing of Italy". I am figuring we are about to start talking about muslim ghettos... suprisingly no. Eastern Europeans where taking over whole sections of the city, bringing with them their particular brand of crime.
This might be more of a territorial dispute between competing crime organizations- Italian organizations against eastern european syndicates.
Just the view from a curious visitor.

#5 Muslims and E. Euro immigrants are not exclusive. My understanding is Naples is the center of Albanian people smuggling.
