talian newspaper Il Giornale fumed about the attack, saying: “Many immigrants in these centres claim ‘we need more money, food that respects our origins and more humane living conditions. “They demand ‘respect’ and ‘humanity but then they threaten to slaughter those who try to help them.
“And nobody talks about working. And then people dare to call this integration.”

As I once read: when expectations are too high, despair will arise. A lot of migrants had and still have too high expectations about living in EU. Better food? Well, return to your home-place that is what every animal will do.
