“I have spent a lifetime teaching my children that they must behave well, respect the rules to avoid legal consequences. And today, while they saw their father beaten by a maniac and the policemen let him go, what lesson have they learned from reality?” Speaking to Adnkronos is the lawyer Mauro Danielli, attacked yesterday in the Balduina area by a boy to whom he had asked to tie up his dog, free and without a muzzle in the same rotisserie where he was with his family. The events took place around 12:30 yesterday in via Orlando de Tommaso. “After mass, we went with a couple of friends to eat at a rotisserie. While I was sitting with my 10-year-old children, this boy came in with his dog, untied and without a muzzle, who then started going around the tables. My wife asked if it was possible to keep him tied up and he started insulting her. At that point, hearing the screams, I approached her but the boy started swearing at me, so vehemently that he convinced me to call the police”, he says.
“I wish I had never done it. When he saw me with the phone in my hand, he ran towards me, punched me in the neck, on the back, trying to stop me from calling. In the meantime, 112 asked me to wait, that they would put me in touch with the authorities. He was like a raging bull – continues the lawyer, former defender of Luigi Preiti, the man who 11 years ago shot Brigadier Giuseppe Giangrande, in front of Palazzo Chigi – I was still waiting for the police to arrive. The worst thing in all of this was what my children saw. Their father beaten by an agitated man in front of whom I could not even react, knowing full well what you risk in certain cases. He provoked me, asked me to hit him; and the worst thing is that when the officers intervened, they let him walk away with his mother, who had arrived in the meantime, without taking him away. When I asked for explanations, they simply told me that the boy had gone away with his mother, but that I had 90 days to report it. It was really disheartening. My children were crying, my wife was asking me in fear, ‘What if this man is after us now?’. I felt helpless, defeated. The State does not exist, what else should I think?” (by Silvia Mancinelli)
