No fucking way

Look at these pictures:

Do you think those are photos of an SS meeting from the '30s? You're wrong. Those are volunteers from the newly born association "Guardia Nazionale Italiana" (Italian National Guard), whose purpose is to improve national security by going around in groups and "controlling" the streets.

I am disgusted. But you know what's worse? (Yes, it gets worse.) People actually agree with them. I read an email in a local newspaper this morning that said "Well, there were groups like that during the Fascism and everyone was happy, weren't they?"

Yes, really fucking happy. I'm worried, very worried.

Lucky for us though, they're all wanky volunteers and not trained professionals who could actually hurt anyone. That bug-eyed guy looks like he'd collapse from exhaustion after running 10m or throwing one punch!

Well, a lot of them are retired policemen, so, even if they can't run, they can surely use a gun. Officially they're not allowed to use weapons, but if they already have their own guns, who can stop them from using them?
