I didn't know Carlo but I was there when he was killed and will, at some point, testify to what happened that day if the case against the security forces goes through. This decision is in the hands of the public prosecuter at the moment, who has clearly chosen not to announce his verdict until after the anniversary of Carlo's death, presumably with a view to minimising the outrage that should rightly ensue when he declares that the findings of state forensics/ballistics are genuine. These, simply, are that the round that went through Carlo's left eye from a few feet away was actually fired upwards into the air, in warning, and that the round unfortunately collided with a stone that was also travelling through the air, having been thrown by another demonstrator. The round ricocheted down, the rest is as we know. I apologise to Carlo's family that I can't be in Genoa for the day, or even on the demonstration in England, as I'm in Palestine right now, but I urge everyone who can to mark the occasion, and when the verdict is announced, to make enough noise to raise the fucking dead.
