March 31: Airone sent this terrible news:

A young INNOCENT 19-year-old man, Rumesh Rajgama Achrige, has been killed by a vandal squad cop during a routine police check. 4 young kids (19 the oldest) were stopped in their car, and the vandal squad made them jump down and kicked them against a wall. While the kids were there, doing nothing and just waiting to be checked, Mr Marco Dainati, one of the cops, was pointing his gun at the kids when suddenly the gun fired. Rumesh was with his writer friends but he was not a writer himself.

The 19-year-old man is now in hospital, clinically dead, waiting for his organs to be harvested. The policeman was arrested at first but has already been released. This morning all the students of Como came down in the streets to protest. The Major of the city is still trying to protect the cop: this vandal squad was his own idea. Only a single newspaper is covering the story: elections are just around the corner...
