Violent clashes erupt in Italy after Berlusconi survives no-confidence vote

At least 50 police and 40 protesters have been injured as hundreds of students clashed with police near the residence of Silvio Berlusconi in Italy's capital on Tuesday. The riots came as parliament decided on the prime minister's future. Berlusconi secured a comfortable victory in the no-confidence vote at the senate, but survived a similar motion in the lower house by just three votes. Demonstrators marched through Rome's historic centre, throwing firecrackers that boomed as lawmakers cast their votes. Similar protests took place in other parts of the country.

[TheVisionary84]

Yeah and I tried searching for them in America but nothing.

[TheVisionary84]

I know it makes me sick. And to think they're actually proud of that too. They brag about it and where their love for the abusive authority as a badge of honor. I live here and do not wanna take it. I'm seriously the only one I know who feels that way. Everyone here is a fucking pussy retard who doesn't even know anything about the world and only cares about posting pics of their dinner on Facebook and the latest lil wayne song. Fuck I hate this country. U have no idea. GO TEAM AMERI-TARD!!!
