Italian police release footage of the whacking of a gangster. - Polidicks

[quote]The horrific footage, which was captured by closed circuit cameras, shows the assassin walk up to a man in broad daylight outside a bar in Naples and shoot him three times. As the victim slumps to the ground, the hitman then finishes him off with a bullet to the head and calmly walks away. Blood can be seen spreading onto the pavement from the head of the dead man, who is still holding a cigarette in his hand. He was named as Mariano Bacio Tarracino, 53, and is believed to have been connected to a mafia clan involved in a drug trafficking turf war with a rival group. Anti-mafia investigators said they released the horrific footage of the murder, which happened in May, because they still had not managed to find the killer – despite the fact that the angle of the surveillance cameras means that his face is clearly visible beneath his baseball cap. He even seems to be smirking after carrying out the execution. "We have decided to circulate the video as widely as possible, urging the co-operation of whoever can provide information to identify the killer and his lookout," the Naples' office for anti-mafia investigations said in a statement. His shooting was met with apparent indifference by bystanders who were caught on film outside the bar, in Naples's central Sanita district. A man holding a toddler in his arms looks at the victim and walks away, while a woman is seen rubbing off her scratch-and-win lottery card as the execution takes place. No witnesses have so far come forward. Italy's third biggest city is home to the Camorra crime syndicate – a rival to the better known Cosa Nostra mafia of Sicily – and many locals have become resigned to violence on the streets after decades of deadly feuds. The killing, in the middle of a busy neighbourhood, was "chilling", said a former head of the Democratic Party, Walter Veltroni, who is now a member of the Anti-Mafia Commission. The scale of organised crime and the state's apparent inability to combat it was an "absolute emergency" for Italy. An investigative journalist who wrote a best-selling expose of the Camorra, Roberto Saviano, said the indifference of bystanders was perhaps the most shocking element of the video. "When a city's at war, people stop caring about the things they see around them. This video shows that in some parts of Italy, life isn't worth anything". Mr Saviano, whose book Gomorrah earned him death threats from the mafia which means he has had to live under police escort for the last three years, said the killer's ice-cold composure marked him out as a professional hit man. "First he walks in the bar, he looks around, and then he comes out and starts shooting." The mundane surroundings of the assassination and its brutality could help to "dispel Hollywood myths about mafia violence and show what a Camorra execution is really like," he said.[/quote] [url="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/italy/6462608/Mafia-killing-in-Italy-caught-on-camera.html"]Source (video)[/url] 47 would be dissapointed.

I hope at least he retrieved his suit

err, the video doesnt load for me :c

Wow...He did that pretty quickly. He's so damn calm too.

Video won't load. :(

Disable adblock and it worked for me.

It just looks like he points something at the guy and he falls over :v:

holy shit, that guys a pro

Swift and brutal, as expected.

[QUOTE=Warriorx4;18148485]Swift and brutal, as expected.[/QUOTE] Brutal? I doubt the victim felt much pain. First shot got him down, that probably hurt, but only seconds later the final shot finished him off. He didn't suffer for long.

Thats was shit. I didn't expect bits of head to fly everywhere because of it being on the Telegraph's page, but yawn almighty. Someone post something media tagged for NSFW with blood and guts. I'm utterly disappointed.

You don't really think about these things happening until you see it for real.

The guy's prolly standing there, "Oh man, the girl on MSN said she'd have oral with me if I stand here for 4 hours." Suddenly, a man walks by and says, "I'm going to kill you once I walk back out." The standing man is in shock. But stays true to the girls offer. Remember kids, pussy [b]kills.[/b]

That was a funny comment FreeHat, post more. [editline]03:33PM[/editline] Rated Funny.

[QUOTE=Sottalytober;18148278]Wow...He did that pretty quickly. He's so damn calm too.[/QUOTE] Probaly had years of practise and just doesnt give a shit anymore. Pretty damn cool if you ask me when i say cool i mean it in a way as in calm, cool collected.

Pretty damn cool if you ask me when i say cool i mean it in a way as in calm, cool collected.[/QUOTE] He knows that nobody will try to stop him and that nobody will tell the police what he looks like. The mafia has total control over the people, their main weapon is fear. If you want to read a really interesting book (and/or see the amazing film) read Gomorrah by Roberto Saviano. The guy is probably the most famous reporter in Italy after he went undercover, interviewed mafiosi and got himself into danger for his love to tell the people the truth. He is now on the Mafia hit list and has constant bodyguard protection, unable to live a normal life. He still writes many articles in which he condemns the corrupt Italian regime. Also, the film is my favourite movie of 2008. Edit: Holy hell he's mentioned at length in the article himself even.

Why was that guy just standing there? Who does that?

[QUOTE=john_pelphre;18152022]Why was that guy just standing there? Who does that?[/QUOTE] He was probably told on the phone by someone he trusted to wait for someone outside that shop.
