Attack on Berlusconi is an attack on democracy

[Hedgehog]

Even if you don't like Berlusconi, who IMO is a corrupt thug, when he's attacked on open street it's an attack on the whole democracy.

Just like the assassinations of JFK, MLK, Palme, and attempt on Reagan, et al.

All we get is even more distance between politicians and voters.

50 years ago, a politician could walk the street like a regular bloke.
