Today, on the day of the vigil of high school students in Alba to remember Davide Giri, the young researcher killed in New York (on his way home after a football match with friends), the former Juventus champion and flag, Claudio Marchisio, wrote a reflection on his Facebook page. In four hours, it was commented on with 968 posts.
«But aren’t you a bit indignant, angry, or perhaps really pissed off at the death in recent days in New York of our compatriot Davide Giri, at the hands of the American Vincent Pinkney? – it is read -. A criminal act and a name that apparently does not deserve adequate study for American politics and the media. In these hours I can’t help but wonder: and if the parts had been reversed, would the same thing have happened? That is, if the victim had been American and the murderer an Italian boy; even more so if that boy had been a member of some organization that practices violence like Vincent Pinkney belonging to the Ebk gang. “

And again: «I don’t want to fall into rhetoric or make a speech related to nationality, but Davide Giri was a good guy, a talent to be proud of, while Vincent Pinkney just a miserable criminal, dangerous and prejudiced above all. But doesn’t this piss you off? A hug to Davide’s family ».
