This post starts with a regret, I wasn’t in the right place during the right moment to take the picture I had in my mind: one of those “demonstrator’s” covered faces. A face of a coward, a face of a swine, the face of a person that has no other ideal than devastating without any purpose. Who is hiding himself is a criminal, because he hasn’t the courage to show his face made of idiot/mere ignorance, because he hasn’t the courage to face the consequences of his behaviour.
This time it is them to be defeated, there is no so-called-demonstrator to play the role of police victim, there is no policeman who “exaggerated”. There are only their covered faces, their cowardice and the violent devastation they left behind them.
Once the riot was over and the storm passed, the City of Milan immediately showed another face, a clear face, a visible one, but what am I saying? One? No, one hundred? No, the esteems are around 20000 Milanese people that joined a pacific counter demonstration to show that Milan belongs to its people, the ones that are facing everyday life struggles with honesty and dignity. I could have not missed such a moment of solidarity and so I find myself in between these 20000 persons.
Around me I see families, kids, men and women of every age, students, scouts, popular persons from Milan and the authorities. They are really all there. Many of them have a brush or a sponge in their hands and they clean the signs left by the criminals. This is the true face of Milan, a united, international, alive city. A city that takes the chances and that keeps going! Milan has always raised again and today is doing it another time with its citizens. No, black block, you are nothing, you are just nothing, your cowardice is dissolved within this twenty thousand persons that are in the streets to show you that you haven’t reached anything, the city belongs to persons like us! Swine bastard, remember: no one can dare to touch Milan!
