A T-shirt saying "Youth killed in the square i was born" - dedicated to Carlo's that lost his life on Genova G8 Streetfighting war of rights

This photo came after the contest, i havent locate the photo of the event on the web, not the most pleasant thing to see. Carlo's action shows that sometimes such "punks", as many people called him, care more than us about human rights. The majority of us are just viewers facing facts and events like watching TV.

I work with advertising and stuff like that... so I saw those before, but it's always great to remember how amazing pictures can get.

take care,

PS: It's sad how 2 pics in the contest are about a nonsense (religious?) war http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/frown.gif
