You don't block an entire tram line just because there are pickpockets on board some trams The "solutions" implemented here in Italy are not solutions, but abominations imho

This thread is meandering into Russian examples of government malfeasance which is cool but does everyone know about Operation Gladio in Italy itself?

Nah you fill it up with poison gas because you don’t negotiate with terrorists.

This isn't a good analogy because the people being pickpocketed and the people on the trams are the same people.

A better analogy is blocking the tram line because it interferes with some guy's antiquated business model.

That is not an useful analogy, because as far as government is concerned, you just made an argument in favour.

So police should not close entire co-consignment flea market if a stall is found selling drugs there?

[asah]

Correct. A single stall is a single stall.
