Due To Hard-Headed Residents, An Italian Official Said: “We Will Send Police With Flame-Throwers”
CORONAVIRUS IN ITALY – An Italian official got fed-up with violators of the lockdown and said: “We will send police with flame-throwers”.
Italy remains the hardest-hit country of the new coronavirus. As such, it is now the world’s new coronavirus epicenter with China’s cases dying down.
With this, the Italian Prime Minister had placed the entire country under lockdown. However, there are still stubborn residents that choose to leave their homes.
According to an article from the National Post, this led to mayors cussing out their residents.
Massimiliano Presciutti, Reggio Calabria’s mayor had gotten frustrated with lockdown violators – specifically, those using their dogs to leave their homes.
Meanwhile, Vincenzo De Luca, the president of Campania stated that he got word that some students would like to throw a graduation party.
This ticked-off De Luca which led him to say that those who dare create such an event would be met with “police with flame throwers”.
A Netizen on Twitter even made a compilation of Italian mayors losing it over people violating the quarantine.
