"Surveillance footage showed two people dousing a vehicle with gasoline and blocking the doors as the vehicle and its passengers burned."

"One person managed to escape the vehicle and has been speaking to Italian news media about the harrowing event. Mohammad Taj Alamyar, 35, who is originally from Afghanistan, told investigators that he and the four others, who were from Afghanistan and Pakistan, had been working on the region’s strawberry harvests. He said they had asked the men who had arranged their work and accommodations, and who were driving them back from a shift on a farm after work, about wages that had been withheld, prompting the violent response...."

How horrible!

This will be twisted into an anti-immigrant story, when it should focus on the human trafficking and abuse. Those doing the trafficking and abuse protect their business by calling those that question it, “racists”. Even if not as violent as this particular event, the people were brought into a western country to perform low cost labor below what local workers would command for wages. It is no surprise that business interest that would do such, would also attempt to withhold payments, and then when pushed might push back.

I can’t read the NTY story, so I went to the BBC. Turns out the perpetrators were also Pakistani migrants - it’s all a big “inside Mafia” killing, not some kind of anti-immigrant (legal or illegal) action by native Italian as implied by the NYT headline.

Two arrested after four migrant farm workers killed in Italy minivan fire

Police in Italy have arrested two Pakistani nationals for the alleged murder of four migrant workers found dead in a burnt-out minivan, according to Italian media reports.
...
Reports said there had been 14 cases of arson involving cars and minivans carrying Pakistanis in recent months in the area, where there are tensions between migrants over the division of farm work and accommodation.

The open borders globalists and democrats want this human misery. It serves many purposes for them but there are 2 major ones.

First it gives them wedges to attack their political opponents.

Second it keeps their slaves in line.

The democrat party was founded on slavery and nothing has changed since then. The democrat party is still based on importing cheap foreign labor and exploiting them for financial and political power.

I wonder about the economics of this evil. Apparently they owed them some wages so they burned them in a van. Was the value of the van less than the value of the Back wages? Why destroy an asset to keep from paying wages? Sounds like evil murder for no reason. I guess evil people are stupid.

The NYT does say, "The men who set the vehicle on fire were Pakistani drug traffickers with ties to Italian organized crime, said Mr. Alamyar." Only 5 paragraphs into the story. I was surprised, I would have expected that to be in the second to last paragraph.

Italy needs more stories like this to get out. Terrible place, Europe. I wouldn't go there to live unless I was rich. It's a death trap for immigrants. Tell your friends.

" I guess evil people are stupid."

If you're stupid, evil is a shortcut. It cuts through a bad neighborhood, but it will get you there quicker than your feeble mind using the common road.

I was expecting it to be the Joos. I'm told they are behind everything. Probably Pakistani Joos, if look into it.

Last night I had a dream where I was in my twenties and lived with two other young guys. One day, one of them tells me how he stabbed our other roommate to death the day before. The rest of the dream was me trying to figure out what to do. I went through all the options: running away, pretending it didn't happen, helping him get rid of the body, calling the cops, etc. The dead roommate was a good looking American, but was also a real pain in the ass, so I kind of understood the motive. The killer was one of those skinny Somali guys, and was very untrustworthy, so I knew if I told the cops, he was goin to say I did it, or at least that I helped him, and I was worried I was next either way. I was on my way to a lawyer, when I woke up. That dream was unusually cliché for me. My dream world is usually better written than that.

Between the two parties, which of them is/was present in Italy illegally? Between the misuse of pronouns for the trannies and the artful use of descriptors for 'immigrant' that omit the reference to lawful compliance, one always has to remain skeptical. Funny how the institutions of government and the fourth estate use words to hide things we should be aware of.

Of course the democrat NYTimes blares this out while basically ignoring all of the immigrant murders.

Reminiscent of the "Chinese Payday" legends of railroad construction in the US west.

In this case, immigrants are doing all the things the natives don't want to do, including murdering immigrants.

I have recently been astounded at the number of Silicon Valley locals who complain about fresh food prices and openly blame anti-illegal-migrant policies. And then, without missing a beat, advocate for whatever the latest pro-labor regulation proposal happens to be.

If they had stayed home, or if the Italian government kicked them out/prevented them from entering, they’d still be alive. Afghans/Pakistanis and every other non-European belong in Europe only as tourists.
