These “centrist” politicians are far more upset that Giorgia Meloni would commit this unpardonable breach of good taste than they are about rampant migrant rape. In their unctuous self-righteousness and willful ignorance, they demonstrate why so many people have had enough of the political mainstream and are looking for alternative, and more honest, voices.
Guinea is 85% Muslim and it’s virtually certain that this rapist is a Muslim migrant who believes uncovered non-Muslim women are his for the taking. But the establishment hacks would rather scold Meloni than discuss that phenomenon honestly.
Parting shot: Google is evil. It’s hard to find a photo of Giorgia Meloni in which she doesn’t look angry or is caught in some unflattering pose. Google manipulates photo results for everyone based on how much they like or dislike his or her politics.
“Far-right Italian leader blasted for posting rape video,” by Crispian Balmer, Reuters, August 22, 2022:
ROME, Aug 22 (Reuters) – Far-right leader Giorgia Meloni, leading the race to become Italy’s next prime minister, was accused on Monday of shameful electioneering by her rivals after posting a video of a Ukrainian woman being raped by a migrant in an Italian city.
The 55-year-old woman was assaulted on a pavement in the city of Piacenza early Sunday by an asylum seeker from Guinea, local officials said. The incident was videoed by someone in a flat overlooking the street and the assailant was arrested….
Meloni, whose Brothers of Italy party heads the polls ahead of a Sept. 25 national election, tweeted the video, which had been posted on a newspaper website with the image blurred but the woman’s cries clearly audible.
“One cannot remain silent in the face of this atrocious episode of sexual violence against a Ukrainian woman carried out in daytime in Piacenza by an asylum seeker,” Meloni wrote.
“A hug to this woman. I will do everything I can to restore security to our cities.”…
“It is indecent to use images of a rape. Even more indecent to do so for electoral purposes,” Enrico Letta, head of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD), wrote on Twitter.
Another centrist leader, Carlo Calenda, called Meloni’s Tweet “immoral”. Igiaba Scego, a prominent Italian writer of Somali heritage, accused Meloni of exploiting the rape victim.
“Offered up as clickbait voyeurism instead of being protected. This electoral campaign is horrendous,” she wrote….
Letta’s post had said: “Respect for people and victims always comes first” and Calenda wrote “only the victims matter”.
mortimer says
The Left is conducting the ‘intersectionality of victimhood’ here, since Muslims (they have pre-determined) are ‘victims’ … whether that is true or not. Arguably, around the world, Muslims have been and are among the greatest victimizers in history with 270 million dead victims as a result of jihad: The death toll from jihad consists of: 120 million Africans; 60 million Christians; 80 million Hindus; 10 million Buddhists; as many as 500,000 Jews. Islam’s war against non-Muslims has caused 192,857 deaths per year, 528 deaths per day, 22 deaths per hour, 1 death every three minutes since Mohammed began his attacks.
Rape is an essential component of jihad, since Mohammed spoke of it as a reward for his jihadic warriors. Most Italians and most Westerners probably are unaware that Sharia law contains no mention or punishment of a Muslim man who rapes a non-Muslim woman. It is not even a misdemeanor in Sharia law.
Martin Fidel says
Actually it is often seen as a crime in islamic states ! but the criminal is seen to be the woman ! how corrupt do you have to be to think the woman, the real victim in this is also the criminal for enticing thick, weak useless blokes of the faith that drives world hatred !

A polarizing event is about to come upon Europe – Winter.
Italy’s government claims it has stored 80% of its natural gas needs. Winter will test that. France and Germany are likely to face unrest from chilled citizens. In that state, there will be discussions about the cost of supporting “asylum seekers” and the behavior of some – count on it..
Walter Sieruk says
The only reason that she was “slammed” is because some people can’t stand to hear the truth or tolerate having the truth become known.
gravenimage says
So true, Walter.
Check Burry says
She did right to show this, though embarrasing for the victim, More of this will expose the evil of uncontrolled migration, and illegal too, as there is the massive difficulty of filtering the good from the bad, they are trained in lying to authorities, and now we are hearing today in UK reports of 2 attacks, and 2 cases of biting the border force officers who are (missguidedly) IMHO helping these illegals.
gravenimage says
I’ve been a victim of rape, Check. Of course, I cannot speak for this woman, but I know that if showing a video of the assault might lead to more women being saved from this fate in future I would wholeheartedly approve of its being shown.
somehistory says
In the past, rapists got away with the crime because women were too often made to feel as if it was their fault, they asked for it, they had boyfriends, or an ex-husband and so they would not go to court to try to have the perp punished.
And to be questioned by some despicable attorney…such as h. clinton…was awful for the victims, many like in the case of clinton as defense, were just young girls.
then some right-thinking individuals made some changes in the laws and women were no longer to be made the perp in a trial, and their history of having been married, etc. nor their clothing choices were to be used to allow the criminals to escape.
when rapists are prosecuted, the number of rapes go down…for the simple reason that it takes some of the rapists off the streets.
mozlum rapists need to be seen just like any other perp…except for the belief they are entitled can be made apparent…the rapist is guilty and the woman is the victim.

Spot on, Somehistory.

Leftists of all shades cannot just keep quiet. In their figment of imagination they think that they are reforming the world. Actually they are doing just the opposite. Absolute idiots and fascists and good for nothing people. Fit only for an evil day.
Fitna says
And these filthy Leftards claim to hold the mantle of human and woman’s rights. But confronted with real examples of extreme abuse and rape of women, they instead side with the evil perpetrators and do nothing to help the victims. Why vile, lying, cowardly hypocrites they are.
The only answer is for genuine Liberals to take a stand and throw out the fake Leftists from their ranks and create true Liberal parties. I consider myself to be center-Left, and while I agree with Conservatives on some issues (like Islam, immigration and warfare), I could never be center-right since I disagree with much on the right also.
Once a strong, authentic Left exists at least they can unite with the Right on Islam and start deporting Muslims and other invaders. If they don’t agree, then they are not real Liberals and form their own lunatic fringe parties….they don’t belong in the mainstream.
raja says
Fitna,
Thank you for the reply. While I agree with you about the concerns you have expressed, man, whether with so-called left or right leanings is beset with errors of judgements and so on. In a fallen world we cannot expect much from man. I would personally keep it simple as it is written: Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:9
Fitna says
No problem Raja.
Good point, there are problems on both the Left and Right and the key is to focus on justice and helping the downtrodden.
Also I’ll add while the Left and Right have some major differences, they pale in comparison to Islam, which doesn’t believe in democracy, freedom, equality, etc.
So that’s one thing all non-Muslims can agree on is the need to eliminated Islam.
gravenimage says
Agreed. Fitna. I am traditionally liberal on a number of points, and that certainly *doesn’t* include whitewashing rape.
Infidel says
I was under the impression that Salvini is Italy’s big hope, but if he isn’t elected prime minister of Italy, I do hope Giorgia Meloni is
Incidentally, I did do an image check on her in Google, and while she did look angry or annoyed in quite a few of them, there is nothing about her that I found unattractive
Also, Guinea is not a country in turmoil, like Libya or Syria are. Why are there people from Guinea in Italy? It’s not like that country is noted for its professionals
raja says
Infidel,
Libya or Syria or for that matter any islam inspired chaos is typically gargantuan in nature. I guess these things are happening because of the fanciful events like “Arab spring” and other Leftist baloney.
Though I tend to agree with you, as always, we need to acknowledge that the nations shouldn’t have thrown their immigration procedures in the air for Arab bribes and other dictates from “perfect” Left. It is tantamount to saying rogues/scums are also welcome.

All those who object, should be forced to read this article in FPM regarding Sweden. Of course, the mozlum in favor of her own kind raping women who are ‘uncovered’…”rape her, not me”….would smile at the facts

A very disturbing article.

Thanks for the link to that troubling story, Somehistory. And good to hear from Anti-Jihadist Bruce Bawer again.

I recall when we first began hearing things from Sweden…that it had become the rape capital of the world, taxi drivers were raping young women, rapes at train stations…I hoped the authorities would get down to their business and put an end to it. Instead, now mozlums are ruling in many areas, and there isn’t much hope that the other authorities can get an effective solution.
gravenimage says
Grimly true, Somehistory–and the Scandinavian countries were until recently possibly the most low crime nations in the world, and much of the serious crime that did exist was mostly low violence, like car theft.
But then the Muslim invasion…
A study done a few years ago showed that every single stranger rape in Oslo over a period of five years where the perp had been apprehended he was found to be an immigrant–meaning Muslim, for the most part. This also meant that this crime was virtually unknown among native Norwegian men. How did Norway react to this shocking report? They just stopped allowing such studies–they literally didn’t want anyone to know.
We can also see the whole thing in miniature here in the US in Minnesota, where a largely Scandinavian-heritage-based populace with very low crime is being overrun by Somalian Muslims–with exactly the same result.
tim gallagher says
This is an interesting report. The problem with these left wing fuckwits is that they have a dream of how the world should be and then they seem to believe that that is actually the way the world is. They are about as out of touch with reality as a schizophrenic is when in the grip of madness. So here they want the truth about this rape to be hidden because it doesn’t fit in with their fanciful concept of how things are, such as that these Muslim migrants are fine and dandy. I hope the right wing realists do win in Italy and they will face up to reality and start to fix the country. Same for all other countries around the world where the fantasy lands of the left have been instituted and greatly damaged those countries. They have to stop the rot. Let enough Muslims into any non-Muslim, civilised country and you will destroy the place. Primitive barbarians only belong in their own backward 7th century Arab style Muslim countries. The sort of crap they believe in is totally incompatible with civilised life in endless ways, this rape being just one of them.

Italy: ‘Centrist’ and ‘center-left’ pols slam ‘far-right’ leader for posting video of Muslim migrant raping woman
…………………………….
No criticism of a Muslim raping a woman–just criticism of *condemning* a Muslim raping a woman.
Giorgia Meloni sounds like an excellent candidate who would actually care about her people.
David M says
It’s disgusting isn’t it, the leftists are putting political correctness above good & evil. Do they even know they are standing up for criminals? This thinking goes all the way to the top as well. They come after Julian Assange to silence him for exposing heinous crimes they don’t want the public to know about.
gravenimage says
Yes, David–and not just criminals, but some of the very worst criminals. This rapist was not just a shoplifter or joyrider.
gary fouse says
I lived in Milan for 5 years, and I am appalled at the violence that has taken over that city as well as the rest of Italy. If posting videos of this type will wake up the populace, so be it. I pray that either Meloni or Matteo Salvini becomes the next PM in Italy.
In the meantime, more of these barbarians keep arriving at Lampedusa every day.

Thanks for that grim account, Gary. Until recently Milan was known for its fashion industry.
