QuoteItalian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has been hit in the face and knocked to the ground after a political rally in Milan.
Video footage shows Mr Berlusconi with blood on his lips as he was whisked away from the scene in a car.
The BBC's Maxine Mawhinney and Duncan Kennedy explain events surrounding the incident.
These leftists are dangerous. The next time that they hold an anti-Berlusconi hate-rally, the army should be called in to disperse the rabble.
Apparently the attacker used a statue of Milan's dome to hit him. Not cool.

I cannot find the table for puncture damage.
While I dislike Berlusconi, violence is not an appropriate means in political discourse.

Politicians beating each other up is OK; normal civilians beating up politicians is not.

I would assume so. The guy who hit him for one.

No, Schadenfreude.

No, Schadenfreude.
Which is ambiguous in relation to the morality of the perpetrator.

Is the perpetrator's morality the first thing you think about when someone you strongly dislike gets his face bloodied? Schadenfreude is something more id-driven than super-ego regulated.

It's the first thing I think of, I'm more of an ego uber alles kind of guy. :P
Note I said ambiguity, not that you were clearly in favor of smacking Berlusconni in the gob.

The guy seems to be a legit mental patient, though. In his 40s, no previous records, no known associations with any political group, in treatment for 10 years.

Someone is compensating.
I hope the damage isn't permanent. It would be a serious blow to his amorous adventures with 18 year old models.

On the contrary, nothing conquers like a manly scar won serving the Motherland.
He is going to be called scarface from now on... :D

It would make politicians think twice about ignoring the electorate but it still isn't acceptable. I just wish they'd bring back dueling among politicians. It would cull away a lot of the liberals.

Probably not. History shows that conservatives are inherently cowardly. Case in point. When Preston Brooks assualted Charles Sumner he was called a coward by a Rep from New York. The New Yorker gladly accepted but the South Carolinian quickly and dishonorably backtracked because Mr. Burlingame, the old Knickerbocker, was a crack shot and would have killed the Southerner.
Then fall, Silvio :(
He should have taken some dodging lessons from Bush...
