Whiteness won't help here, this dude attacked the owner class. He's going to be smeared then locked up for the rest of his life.

What remains to be seen now is whether he gets better medical care in prison than he did via publicly available insurance.

Well, he wasn't shot, choked to death, or mangled in the back of a police van at the time of arrest, so that's already a win for him.

Took me a second to puzzle this out...

Just in case any of my fellow Europeans need an extra nudge in the right direction, this is relating to the guy who has been arrested for shooting the healthcare CEO, and nothing to do with people in Italy.

It is and always has been a class war. The owners love us squabbling over skin color.

Am from Italy, italians are the whitest of the whites. Rome, the church, the basis of modern Patriarchy and white supremacy was born and raised here folks

I'm latino and I still do not understand how the fuck you man manage to live always looking at whiteness. Such an hysteria with the skin color.

This took me too long to understand. Basically saying how Luigi is treated will determine if Italians are considered white. If he is treated with respect and not beaten while in custody Italians are confirmed as white people.

Well I actually laughed aloud at this on the train. I'm pretty much generic white looking, but have wondered if my resume ever got treated differently for the very Italian last name.

they're trying to make him sound insane by referring to his manifesto with vague and scary language so I think we got our answer

It's so ridiculous, too. As far as I can tell, he was arrested, because his clothes looked superficially similar to the person who shot the CEO, but if you spend five seconds comparing the security camera images, it's pretty obvious that none of the clothing items actually match. If they hole him up based on this evidence, that's embarrassing.

im italian and dont consider myself white

I'm not white or Italian, I just like to complain on YouTube videos where a non Italian makes inauthentic Italian food.

Makes me feel like a real ally who is standing up for something.

he's not just Italian, he's so Italian that he was named the way jowling kowling rowling would name a token Italian character in harry potter

I mean, he is on the sworthy side.
