Dear friends, colleagues, acquaintances or not Pistoia, August 12
the beloved city council has passed an ordinance local Pistoia fascist flavor. I was direct and did not waste any time to express my opinion. A public institution that uses the forces of order which is paramount to implement a curfew, which compels citizens to be afraid of being taxed with heavy fines for me is a fascist measure.
was in July that did not go out in Pistoia in the late evening and so I was not familiar with the brilliant new arrangements. I did not take long to learn. See tired of the tavern employees rely heavily Gargantuà ii minutes left before 2 am not knowing if they would be able to clean the room properly, to properly stack the chairs outside bothered me ... but even more has been plagued my status of mind when I saw the Police Station that has to do servile stationed in front of the local strong man ready to engage with those who unfortunately has his hands tied. Police service to citizens?! As often happens, law enforcement officers in the service of some citizens. In fact, this ordinance was a response to the protest of slavery of the City residents of the city center. I always thought that living downtown would mean living vitality that a small town with limited Pistoia to offer. Maybe I'm off track, but what I am certain is that the municipality of Pistoia launched this fascist action to respond to a need for "social cohesion". I wonder ... and I say you create cohesion creating social discontent among the youth age group?
Having woken up this morning perplexed I decided to give me a good morning by reviewing such a measure. There are points, which, like all fascist laws, leaving stunned and then make you want to gall. As warmly invites you to give a reading (http://www.comune.pistoia.it/cgi-bin/primo_piano/pagina.cgi?id=145) will expose the aspects that I consider most important and therefore laughable:
1. there was - from the reports of the Municipal Police, the content of reports, complaints and denunciations of citizens living in the designated area in question - an increasing critical respect for the common rules of civilian life, such as to undermine social cohesion between residents, merchants and
user population [because of]
significant growth of the attractiveness of downtown and in particular the "Fund Hall" - many residents complain of difficulties in this area in maintaining acceptable conditions of living due to excessive activity continued throughout the night, in spite of the checks and penalties, at the commencement exercises of repeated administration of shows and entertainment with music too loud ; the persistence in the patrons who, having often had alcohol abuse, lose their inhibitions, leading to chatter and to seriously unhealthy behaviors;
[therefore]
the issue could jeopardize the safety urban [will become the Bronx]
But what is the purpose of this ordinance?
2. to achieve the goal is also to pursue a more appropriate balance between the vitality of downtown and the simultaneous residence, through the respect of the ordinary rules of civility;
3. the situation that generates the need for a decision made by a judge in matters of urban security is achieved during the night given by a summation of the large number of admissions for the most youthful, the frequent abuse of alcohol, the tendency to degenerate into pipelines disrespectful to the rest of the right of residents and the general rules of civilization, with potentially dangerous implications for public policy since it can also trigger violent situations in the dialectic that can be generated between patrons and residents

Naturally, there are provisions for local businesses: In
waiting to see - even on the basis of the effectiveness of this measure - if it becomes necessary to enable a targeted restriction bands of activity periods of administration of food and drinks ,

You asked for a curfew? us and we give you:
at 2:00 am in addition to cessation of supply of food and beverages, individually liable in case of violation of legal sanctions must be strictly ceased:
1. disassembling any furniture and stacking;
2. When cleaning is the inland areas to the local outdoor appliances;
3. all movements of goods and related activities, related to or dependent on the need to stop the activities within operating hours.
Although possible under the transactions referred to in the foregoing Chapter, continue to be administered until 02:00 hours, the activities therein shall be deemed started at 01:30, with the express caveat that will be considered violation of this order the detention of operators, which are responsible employees, customers and friends for any reason within the year or in its appliances, as well as the hours of 2:00 am.
[the fact that bars and restaurants are to count the collection until late at night is not covered by our lords, as not even consider the local "closed to the public" as a potential space to be used for purposes assembleali, while respecting the peace]
I quote from the peak of my laughter now.
within the heading "Immediate action to contain the effects of over-administration of alcohol" is this pearl:
ensure that the customers and clients who are at the premises or its fixtures or are about to leave those spaces do not pay in a position of obvious intoxication.
If this is not fascism ... so what?!
