Horrendousness in Italy

RIP - a dreadful thing to happen.

RIP riders

Driver was arrested and charged with multiple counts of manslaughter.
Yes, manslaughter; not some mamby-pamby 'causing death by dangerous driving' bullshit like we get here.

Yeah, in the last few years in Italy thanks to the wonderful Berlusconi government foreigners(especially the not whites), occasional criminals and small criminals get charged very severely...

Horrible news. RIP.

The dead:
Rosario Perri (55 anni); Francesco Stranges (51); Vinicio Pottin (47); Giovanni Cannizzaro (58); Pasquale De Luca (35) and Domenico Palazzo.

RIP friends.

Horrid, reminds me of the incident in Wales in which a number of club cyclists were killed.

thoughts and prayers to the family and friends and family.

it reminds me of the one in liverpool about 2 years ago. that crash killed four riders.

and still they keep denying there is an issue.

Do You mean this one?

I suppose everywhere 'up north' is the same to you, Even a different country...

Absolutely terrible. Bastard.

Horrific. RIP

Awful awful, shocked.

Terrible, terrible tragedy, very upsetting. Poor blokes! Hopefully the maggot will go down for many years.

horrific R.I.P. friends.

pretty awful r.i.p.
also to echo what max said, its careless cunts like this that enforces the illegality cannabis.

it really is such a tragic waste of life, horrible.

I'm shocked and feeling very sad right now. I don't really have the words though.

Rest In Peace.

:-(

Explain please. And it'd better be bloody good.

Rhyl is North Wales, not Liverpool.

And don't take that tone with me.

The driver is a Moroccan Immigrant, that means deep shit in Italy.
Won't help the already difficult situation to any non-white citizens,
particularly in southern Italy... WAC.

And yes, the unfortunate devilish propaganda brought upon cannabis is
truly unnecessary.... Hundreds of people get killed daily for drunk driving,
still alcohol doesn't even get contested...
RIP

You are a complete disgrace.

Whatever

Sorry, but I couldn't resist.

Whatever

I'm not going to have a discussion with people like you on a thread like this. I've PM'd you Inviting you to have a long hard think about your attitude.

You thick twat. Learn to read.

There's a time and place for this, and this isn't it bigtwin, Platini wasn't being heartless.

Even for you, you've excelled yourself.

Our club on the wirral knew many of the riders in Rhyl Rc plus i have lost two family members in road accidents . You should realise that this cold blooded murder in Italy will have a deep effect right through all of the families and friends.

Its hard to comprehend the untold misery that this stoned driver has caused.

Italians love there bikes far more than we do in the uk,.

Finally name calling is very low and disrespectfull at this sad time.

Pace

sad stuff all round.
Unfortunately there is a massive problem with general attitudes to cyclists from drivers in NZ, with a huge amount of blame on cyclists coming from idiotic opinion writers, talkback radio jocks and the general public (same old shit about road tax, RLJing, cycle lanes etc). As well as terrible drivers. Be very careful if cycling in NZ, it makes the UK look like a cycling paradise.
