Everytime I see the video my stomach churns more and more.
I always feel at times the ethnics are made to feel silenced in regards to our views of our uncomfortable experiences in some parts of Europe.
I feel we get dismissed at times.
All I can say is the ignorant people at least have proof by this hard-hitting video that our fears are justified.
Recently a Nigerian man Alika Ogorchukwu, 39 was killed in Civitanova Marche ,Italy after trying to sell allegedly trinkets like tissues to an Italian couple.
Which outrage the male figure and led to him being brutalized on the street by him.
His murder was in a fashion that even animals in slaughterhouse are treated more fairly.
Incredibly this unprovoked attack was in full view of the Italian public.
Who lifted no finger to help ,but lifted a finger to film the grotesque event,as if they were in a coliseum.
The saddest thing the street vendor was disabled ,so virtually stood no chance when he was being strangled to death by the assailant.
This killing makes me question the genuine integration of African migrants in European countries.
Can a simple touch the man did trying to sell his items warrant this level of violence?
And as if I’m a psychic I knew the killer’s defence will be some sort of mental health defence ,and not racial.
And what troubles me the allegedly the Italian authorities are not treating this as a hate crime.
I hope this is not true ,and hope his family will get some sort of justice.
Italy is a beautiful country but this crime doesn’t portray the country in a good light.
