A recent demonstration in Italy turned violent as a radical crowd, including Islamic supremacists and communist sympathizers of Hamas Islamic terror group, attempted to gain access to the square where the synagogue of Pisa, a Jewish cemetery, and the Leaning Tower are located. The incident occurred amid rising tensions surrounding the Israel-Palestine/Hamas conflict.
The demonstrators, chanting slogans against Israel and waving flags associated with Hamas, were met with resistance from law enforcement officials who prevented their entry into the synagogue’s vicinity. As tensions escalated, a clash ensued, prompting police to use batons to disperse the crowd and maintain order.

In another recent demonstration in Florence, radicals attempted to reach the American consulate. The procession, comprised of grassroots communist-affiliated unions, radicalized students, and Palestinian migrants aligned with Hamas, commenced from Piazza Santissima Annunziata and proceeded through the city center, passing through Piazza Ognissanti. It then continued along the Lungarno towards the consulate, where it encountered a heavy law enforcement presence.
Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini swiftly voiced his support for the police, emphasizing the importance of respecting law enforcement. In a statement addressing the incident, Salvini condemned any acts of violence against police officers and firefighters, asserting that individuals who lay hands upon law enforcement personnel and first responders are criminals.”
Salvini’s remarks underscored the need to uphold the rule of law and ensure the safety of both citizens and law enforcement officials during demonstrations. He stressed that peaceful protest is a fundamental right but reiterated that violence and aggression towards police officers cannot be tolerated.
The clash reignited debates surrounding the handling of protests and the role of law enforcement in maintaining public order. Many on the left are upset that police fought back when threatened by unruly and dangerous demonstrators. Salvini’s stance reflects a broader concern over the rise of Islamic and left-wing radicalism and the need to address security threats while safeguarding democratic principles.
The incident near the Pisa synagogue, along with other demonstrations supporting Hamas across the country, highlights the intricate challenges authorities face in handling protests involving extremist elements. It underscores the persistent tensions surrounding the Israel-Palestine/Hamas conflict.

I think they did a good job repelling the terrorist sympathizers. Baton work is very important. You can use thrusts and get some straightforward blunt force hits to the solar plexus, or under the armpit, and incapacitate the suspect. When you swing and follow through you can strike the knees, wrists, and elbows for compliance. Works better than spray or taser in crowds too.

There are new crowd dispersal tools to deal with unruly terrorists and marxist front groups. There is a sonic weapon which makes the targets get nauseous and have explosive diarrhea. That might be fun to test out. Maybe use drones with rubber buckshot too? Take advantage of these situations, and test out some new devices—just for sh*ts n’ giggles.
