Italy: Migrants rescued at sea sue rescuers for damages

Feb 22, 2019 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

“A law firm has filed a suit in the Rome civil court against Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on behalf of 41 migrants who were rescued at sea and brought aboard the ship Diciotti…In the lawsuit, the migrants are asking for damages between 42,000 and 71,000 euros for having been forced to remain aboard the ship for several days.”

Reminder: that money would come out of the taxpayer purse.

The response from Salvini: “Allow me to respond with a big laugh.”

Salvini has received a barrage of criticism for his stand against the illegal entry of migrants from Libya. In June, Salvini refused to let a ship carrying 629 migrants to dock. Spain ended up taking them in after a standoff, and Salvini declared victory.

Salvini has clearly laid out his stance as it relates to the EU plan of continued open-door migration:

I want to highlight that Italy every year sends 6 billion euros in cash to Brussels….I cannot give these 6 billion euros to Brussels and then let them damage us on the fronts of agriculture, migration, fishing, commerce and finance. Why am I giving 6 billion to receive nothing in return?

“Diciotti migrants file for damages against Italy,” ANSAmed (thanks to The Religion of Peace), February 21, 2019:

(ANSAmed) – ROME, FEBRUARY 21 – A law firm has filed a suit in the Rome civil court against Italian Premier Giuseppe Conte and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini on behalf of 41 migrants who were rescued at sea and brought aboard the ship Diciotti, sources at the interior ministry said.

In the lawsuit, the migrants are asking for damages between 42,000 and 71,000 euros for having been forced to remain aboard the ship for several days. Sources at the interior ministry said 16 of the 41 migrants in the lawsuit have a birthdate listed as January 1…..

    But these ingrates subscribe to a fatalistic belief system that says everything that happens in the world is Allah’s Will. So, it was Allah’s Will that they stay aboard the rescue ship. Case dismissed!

      Time Europe took a leaf out of Australia’s book; NO ‘boat people’ are nor will be accepted. Detention centres [now offshore] are their temporary home until sent back whence they came.

    The EU is now trying desperately to implement the Kalergi plan of population replacements. Italians are realizing what is going on and they want none of it and have decided to stop it.

    The pope thinks population replacement is the way to go. He’s insane.

      The Pope seems to be more concerned about Muslims than about Catholic children abused by their priests.

    Noting unusual. In Iraq, about 15 years ago, a small group of Saddam Hussains military forces were caught by som Danish troops, who surrendered the Iraqis to some British military group.
    To this day a court case, dealing with the Iraqi prisoners of war, complaints that they were tortured by the British, is still running against the Danish Defence Ministry.
    The Iraqis sue for damages, brought on them indirectly by the Danish troops; with the Danish Government to cough up with some millions in compensation.
    This kind of legal cases constitutes uncessary abuse of the legal systems.
    No wonder that European lawyers become rich, fat and indolent – it is stealing in full daylight of the Europeans taxpayers money by idiotic litigation.

    Illegal migrants (NOT refugees): weakness is to be taken advantage of. Kindness is weakness. Our first mistake was to show kindness. It’s all downhill from there: social workers raped, foster parents murdered, teachers assaulted, governments sued… It will not end until our conditions are levelled, when they’ll suddenly notice the European cold and return to warmer climes, there to rejoin their home chaos as top dogs, rather than bottom ones.

    Illegal migrants (NOT refugees): strength is respected. Harshness is strength. Our first correct action would be to show harshness. Things will *immediately* improve. Keep up and intensify the harshness and something of our civilisation might be salvaged. That is how it works.

    By the way, Meloni is quite right. They’re laughing their heads off at us. They share stories of what they got away with or heard others get away with and it’s hilarious. The funniest thing of all is getting free money to live on. To their thinking, if we’re stupid enough to give them free money (huge sums, by their country’s standards) and a free house (opulent, by their country’s standards) AND we work our guts out to keep this up (it’s hysterically funny that we consider work important) AND we feel bad for how “unjustly” we treat them (coming from societies where violence is a fact of life — and I’m talking about countries at peace here), it’s all too good to be true. All they have to do is go on the rampage (normal behaviour) and we fall over ourselves to give them more. The worse they behave, the more they get. Is there ANY reason ANY of this should stop?!

    But some of our anger must be directed at the lawyers and other who taught them yet another lucrative scam.

      Finally, someone said what IS the norm of “their” society. You articulated the truth. Thank you very much for explaining it all to the do-gooders that are too weak to face the reality. Let’s keep trying to explain it. I’m certain that we have a lot of ‘splainin to do, Lucy, to convince them but, don’t ever give up.

    They probably wanted to stay in a luxury hotel instead of a ship.

    Well done, Matteo! Keep laughing at them, disregard the screamers! Don’t give in to all those greedy, sleazy enablers from the asylum industries who, unwilling to earn a living by doing a decent job, just want to cash in on taxpayers’ money. Don’t be impressed by all those shifty and shady frauds who call themselves immigrants. They only try to force their way into Europe illegally, Keep them away from our homelands. Stay the course, Matteo Salvini, history will prove you right!

    I suggest that their legal fees are considered a loan. They should be made to clean toilets until the loan has been repaid. Use minimum wage to calculate how many hours they will have to work.

    Then Italy can sue the migrants for trying to come to their country without permission and for trying to destroy it as well as often is the case. These countries that take them and fund them are fools. If anything they should put them in an intensive labor detention center to earn their ‘keep.’ If I were in charge I would also make mandatory Bible studies for all of them to… you know… help them assimilate and integrate. If they are not willing, then they can be shipped right back. Beggars are not choosers. People may rail about the lack of religious freedom in that, but I say that if muslims knew that the West had compulsory Christian education for all, they would never have been willing to come here in the first place! We would not even be having this discussion right now. But alas….

      The same thing is happening in the USA, but instead of muslims our invaders, users, scammers, exploiters, are poor people from third world cesspit countries and the countries are a part of this becsuse they benefit in the tens of billions annually from remittances of US dollars from their citizens living here at pour our expense. BUT, there must be a ruling cadre of our congress/government benefiting greatly because they are actively helping this invasion of our country by ignorant foreigners by REFUSING to do ANYTHING about immigration EXCEPT increase all aspects of it. These so-called leaders in our government are committing reason against the USA and American citizens by replacing our citizens with pliable ignorant foreigners, thus stealing America right under our noses without a shot being fired. These American leaders actively pushing and helping this cause MUST be being paid big time.

        The USA gives immigrants the vote. They vote Democrat. Which is why the Democrat Party no longer cares about white male workers.

    So the lesson is: don’t rescue them next time and you won’t be sued. EASY.

      And by not rescueing them, you rescue your own country from islamic slavery.

    That’s what I love about migrants. They are so grateful to the country that helps them. They show this appreciation by raping, murdering and assaulting citizens of the country. They reject free food and accommodations when the conditions are less than the high standard caves they are used to. The rejection of these generous gestures take the form of riots, arson and property destruction. Oh, and violence. Always violence. Tell me again how migrants benefit the country in sooooo many ways.

      Some migrants *are* grateful–not Muslims, though.

    In this case, the law firm representing the “clients” should be fined and pay court costs for bringing a suit without merit. Make an example of these ambulance chasers.

  15. Linda Goudsmit says

    Feb 23, 2019 at 8:10 am

    The question is who is paying the law firm on behalf of these illegal immigrants? Which open borders advocates are paying the lawyers? George Soros? One of Soros’ global Open Society Foundations? The illegal immigrants are not paying the bill – that is for sure.

    • gravenimage says

    The “criminal mind.”

    A guy was attempting to siphon gasoline from the tank belonging to another guy. The other guy had been victimized before, so he put a razor under the cap. When the guy with the “criminal mind” attempted to remove the cap, he sliced his fingers. He sued. He won.

    A guy was attempting to break into another guy’s house. The other guy had been victimized before and had taken precautions against burglary. The guy with the “criminal mind” injured himself on the trap set up to prevent him from profiting at the other guy’s expense. He sued. He won.

    A guy is choking. Another man does the H maneuver and accidentally breaks a rib. The man who was choking to death sued the man who saved his life because he suffered a broken rib. He too had a “criminal mind” as he wished to get even as opposed to being appreciative and thankful he was still alive.

    The moslims are criminals….they all have “criminal minds.” They seek to profit off the efforts of others, whether it is to assist them or to protect themselves from being victimized.

    Justice says they don’t win. But justice is being silenced along with the freedom of speech and is in short supply these days.

      Insanity.

      And I would *never* sue anyone who was trying to save my life.
