sorry ive not posted in quite a while, but im looking at the recent events within italy . only in February there was mass outrage in due to the tragic death of a policeman in a clash with fans during a riot. the riot was started because of local hooligans (ultra's) fighting in after a match between Catania and Palermo. after this a ban of football matches in italy took place, forcing UEFA and the italian FA to inspect all stadiums within Italy's top flight leagues and lower devision. so much in italy was domne to stop football hooliganism, but only recently a death of a lazio fan marred all progress of stopping football violance in italy. the fan was shot dead by a policeman after the game between lazio and internazionale (inter milan). what is startling about the whole incident is that the protest because of the shooting took place outside of Italian State TV RAI headquarters, a mnajor television and broadcasting centre in Italy. the general problem that the fans have with the media in italy is the portrayal of "all" fans being suspect to hooligan activities. this is why the police in italy are so "heavy" in dealing with fan problems.
