Anti-Camorra Demonstration
Five young boys, with ages between 12 and 16, have been the target of a Camorra armed attack last Sunday in Secondigliano, one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods of Naples, Italy.
The boys were hanging out at a games club when four armed men, riding motorcycles and wearing helmets started shooting at them without warning.
According to the police, they fired about 30 shots and the incident was nothing more than one of the usual personal vendettas of the Naples mob group, called Camorra.
The parents of the five boys only suffered light injuries; four of the boys were the games club owner’s nephews and the police suspects the revenge was against him.
All those present in the games club managed to escape alive by hiding as fast as they could behind the billiards tables.
Luckily this time nobody got killed; but this only comes to show that in Naples and in the region of Campania violent acts are more and more frequent.
People have often demonstrated against this phenomenon and the government has sent some 500 soldiers in the area last year, but things seem to be exactly as they have always been, or even worse.
