BUZZURRO

A few days after the execution of murderer Tookie Williams, several politicians in Graz, Austria, the birthplace of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger discussed removing his name from a stadium there.

In 1997 the stadium’s name was changed to Schwarzenegger stadium.
They were proud of their native son.
Many Europeans, the citizens of Graz included, abhor the death penalty and call it barbaric. They were dismayed to see their local son uphold the law of the land that he now governs.
They were no longer proud of their native son.

While the officials were gathering names for a petition to actually remove the Schwarzenegger name from the stadium, Arnold beat them to the punch and sent a letter to them asking them to remove his name. In addition he told them he no longer wanted the ring of honor that was given to him by the city.

“Graz will not have problems in the future with my decisions as governor of California, because officially nothing connects us any more,” Schwarzenegger told the daily Kronen Zeitung in an interview for Tuesday’s editions.
“The death penalty is law here, and I have to uphold the law of the land and the will of the people,” Schwarzenegger was quoted as saying, adding that he still considered himself “Austrian with all my heart.”
After hearing that, Siegfried Nagl, mayor of the southern city of Graz, said he wrote Schwarzenegger pleading with him not to return a ring of honor bestowed on him by officials in his birthplace in 1999 and reassuring him that most residents still admire him.

“I hope that very soon we’ll hear you say, ‘I’ll be back,’” Nagl told the actor-turned-politician, one of Austria’s most famous sons.
It seems that when Nagl pushed and felt a force pushing back, he changed his story. Whatta wimp.
Stand by your convictions, right or wrong. (In this case wrong. Hello ? Is anybody home ? California is not a part of Austria. Austrian laws do not apply there.)

I know that the MSM has been bending over backwards when discussing the riots in France to not use the M word (Muslim), but this is ridiculous.

The problem is not polygamy it is a lack of feeling French.

France is trying hard to be secular society, but according to me, J.Doe, to deny that most of the present, or all of the early rioters are Muslim is to do a grave disservice to finding the root of the problem and possibly correcting it. Throwing more money at the affected areas won’t do it. Letting 14 year old children out of school so they can learn trades won’t help either.

The Muslim riots that started in France over the deaths of 2 teenagers and is now fueled by ‘frustrations’ has seeming spread to other European cities, such as Brussels and Berlin.

More details here:

One of the Italian center left politicians, Romano Prodi, has said that the riots may happen in Italy.
Of course they may, and tomorrow the world may be invaded by little green men who come from Mars.
Nobody can read the future, but what we can do instead is to take educated guesses about what will happen.
He gave his. Now I will give mine.
It might be a little less educated in the formal sense than his, but as it states in the title of this blog “I might be wrong, but I doubt it.”
I wasn’t born yesterday! I have 2 eyes and a brain (and an internet connection)
It is true that many Muslim immigrants live in ghetto-like areas, can’t seem to get jobs, and then when they do they are either illegal ‘nero’ jobs or jobs with illegal contracts.
But, this is the case for most Italians.
There aren’t segregated Muslim quarters in which they live. There is much more integration. At least for their Italian-born children.

If their children are of working age and claim discrimination against them, they are probably right, but then again there will be discrimination against 99.9 percent of the population looking for jobs not offered in companies owned by family or friends of family too.

The Italian government might treat their new immigrants as scum, but then they treat native Italians as scum too, so there will be no “if only we were treated like Italian citizens life would be better” because their treatment would still be the same. Bad.

The main reason why I think riots won’t spread to the Muslim immigrants in Italy is that unlike the rioters in France that are largely made up of 2nd and 3rd generation french citizens, most immigrants here are first generation and remember clearly why they wanted to immigrate in the first place.

They remember well what they left. They are happy to be here.
Everybody else in Italy may riot, but not them.
