Did the Milan court of appeals find his blaming of Matteo Salvini, who opposes mass migration into Italy, appealing? If Ousseynou Sy had been a “right-wing extremist,” would he have had his sentence cut? What do you think?
“Term cut to 19 yrs for man who torched school bus,” ANSA, April 9, 2021:
(ANSA) – MILAN, APR 9 – A man who hijacked and later torched a school bus with 50 children, two teachers and a janitor aboard near Milan in March 2019 on Friday saw his sentence for attempted murder cut from 24 years to 19 on appeal.
Senegalese-Italian Ousseynou Sy, 48, was found guilty again by the Milan court of appeals after a first-instace trial last July.
The crime was committed at San Donato Milanese.
Sy had told the court he is neither a killer nor a terrorist despite his apparent attempt to kill the occupants of his vehicle.
“As an Italian citizen and an African, I accuse” (anti-immigration League leader Matteo) Salvini, (who was deputy premier and interior minister at the time of the hijacking), “and his government of crimes against humanity and genocide”.
Sy argued that Salvini had condemned many migrants to death and torture by blocking Italian ports to NGO run rescue ships….
Sy, a man with a criminal record who is originally from Senegal but has been an Italian citizen since 2004, got off the bus after it was stopped by police, who were alerted by students on board.
He had just set it alight….

The death penalty would have been more appropriate in my opinion!
This man is evil to his core and deserves no mercy .

19 years for trying to murder kids by burning them?
This animals sentence should have been 19 years per person on the bus!
Giacomo Latta says
Absolutely. But I was sure that the volume discount for attempted murder of more than one human being was a concept limited to the Canadian justice system.
Keith O says
19 years total?
Should have been sentenced to 19 years per person on the bus!

Italy: Muslim migrant who set bus full of children on fire blames anti-mass migration pol, gets sentence reduced
……………….
So if any leaders say that it is a bad idea to mass import the kind of Muslim thugs who set school buses full of children on fire, then Muslim thugs who set school buses full of children on fire get a break for setting a school bus full of children on fire…
This is the “logic” of suicidal madness.
St. Croix says
Yes, isn’t that the truth. Just how they are able to spew such foolishness and be taken seriously blows my mind. He attempts to murder children and their teachers by burning them alive. He is hauled before the court. Then he blames the leader of the country for genocidal crimes. That’s his…defense. Makes sense.
Everyday life is becoming an episode of the old sci-fi Twilight Zone shows I used to watch as re-runs. The theme often is that one person can see the absurdity and everyone else tries to “bring them around” which means turn the sane ones into the same robots as they are.

Yes–just crazy.

People like to call islam a religion of peace when in fact it is a religion of diminished responsibility as even though this savage burned up a Bus full of children, and there is not doubt about that, however this piece of pig shit blames Salvini for the Bus being set on fire…. WTF!!!
I hope some Italian thugs in Prison make this scumbag pay for what he did to wee Italian children.
This is a perfect example of what has been allowed into Europe, scum like this that bring us nothing about pain and suffering on a daily basis.
I wish Europe would find a leader that can start deportations and also have the backing of the people, but I can see that any leader that stands up strong and proudly European is dragged down by his own people and called all kinds of awful names for trying defend Europe for savages such as this scumbag.
My Father, who fought in WW2, must be rolling over, as is all of his generation.
islam is the new nazi.

Boy, another victim! How many victim cards do these evil thugs get to play?
The idea that this monster thought he would be rewarded by playing this card reflects the lack of compassion the Italian judicial system has for its own children.
He knew they would be prepared to sacrifice the children like lambs to the slaughter on the alter of political correctness. I am almost certain that in America this creep would have been assigned life without the possibility of parole. But, one must remember that America is the home of the free because
of the brave.
St. Croix says
They will play that card over and over, because that’s all they have in the deck.
libertyORdeath says
Seems like an obvious question that will obviously be ignored by the globalists, but what the fuck does italy’s immigration policy have to do with hijacking a bus full of kids and trying to set it on fire? Other than the fact that those same policies could have stopped this crime from ever happening, how does it pertain to the case at hand? And why would a judge be so gullible as to let it affect his judgment?
I think we need to start treating the left as the hysterical mob they are. Maybe we should even emulate the American left and declare it a “public health crisis.”
St. Croix says
Yes, it’s a virus, the same kind of trending “public health crisis” as the mental illness that befalls converts to Islam. You know the ones. They get the idea they are supposed to strike infidels in the neck, and run their car through crowds of pedestrians, attack police and armed forces personnel at random, etc. etc. It’s rampant in the E.U. and the U.K. and is now rapidly spreading to North America. The attack at the capital recently being one example.
