#1 Italians have a strong familia heritage. It's a war Italianoes. Your in it. No changing sides anymore. The guys who killed Fabrizio ( may God bless him) want a war with the west. The west vs the race of peace.

The family should be held innocent regarding this.
But they should know that there is no talking with these guys. They want the war.

#2  I think the family is still in the initial grief phase right now and that the media is going to them for much the same reason that they like to ask grieving families of our dead soldiers whether or not they still support the war in Iraq.

#3 Remember Quattrocchi...72 hrs. to leave the city. Then B52 Fallujah into never more. They have got to learn about actions/conseq. Destroy it all.

Dan Darling: A long way of saying the media are scum.

#7 I spent my first 60 days in Baghdad (I'm a civilian contractor) in a hotel, where Fabrizio was one of the PSDs. Although his English was only a little better than my (non-existent) Italian, I had dinner with our Italian PSD crew on a number of occasions and got to know them all fairly well. Fabrizio was a bear of a man with a rock steady disposition, and I slept well knowing my security was in his hands and the hands of the rest of his team. He will be missed.

#9 Wow. I'm impressed.

I love the way the media uses the word "executed" instead of "murdered" though. Nice touch.

#10 Makes me wonder, after the muslim sued to remove the cross, knowing that the Vatican is on the hit list, the truth last week about how the "innocent" women and children went in front of the barbarians so they could regroup when fighting the Italian army and this, if the Italian spine is beginning to stiffen.

#12 I do believe that the Green Brigade may have made a slight miscalculation in the choice of their target.

Vendetta is, after all, an Italian word.

#13 Anon4233, welcome to Rantburg, and thanks for your thoughts and experience. Feel free to pick a new handle and keep commenting! Also thanks to Signore Quattrocchi and his brave stand. My sympathies to his family and to all of bella Italia.

#14 Maybe Fabrizio Quattrocchi's murder will serve as a wake-up call to Italians not to lose their country to the Islamists, like Frogistan is on its way to doing. I certainly hope so for all of Europe. The wake-up of Europe will be painful. Hell, in the US, we are still letting Saudi Wahabbi money finance mosques, so we need a serious wake-up, too.

#15 The Green "Weenie" Brigade forgets what happened to those who killed a Roman soldier at the time of the Empire 2000 years ago. Goverments change but traditions remain. . . .
God Bless Mr Quattrocchi

#16 Anyone in the know; how's the "remove the crucifix" debacle going?

#17 This is Italian outrage!!!.....with all the whining about negotiating...... Mr. Quattrocchi may have been the exception rather than the rule. Italy lost a real man!! Now they dishonor him by whining.
