A 15-year-old boy who stood up to far-right activists during violent protests in Rome has won plaudits across Italy.
SheffieldAFN One day that little boy going to get beat up and mugged him alone on street🙁
vvop I love this boy. How courageous he is courageous 🇮🇹
Sharp.
Olap_12 Ma in Italia non siamo fascisti! Lo pensate voi da fuori!

'I'm sure that you are a smart person' is more than optimistic, I guess
Media gravitates to extremist coverage because of ratings (conservatives have no reason to feel victimized). So moderates and charitable people let's go out and make video press about empathy and love thy neighbor, and shame fake populates who pick on immigrants and minorities
Why on earth is the decent kid's face blurred out while the facist mob faces are shown? It's as if there's confusion about who should be ashamed.
So true
😍🥰15 years old! 😁There are many more of his generation whose future is being prepared by current events, over which they have no control; they just need, like this young man to speak up. Not as pawns, but as this young man, knowledgeable, informed and articulate💐💐💐💐💐
Suburra in reality.
labourlewis What about congratulating RachelRileyRR for standing up to anti-Semitic fascists in the Labour party, or are you too blinkered for that?
HORASDESIGN Great Simone
Hearing young people talk like that gives hope for the future generation. These fascists and racists could learn from this 15 year old child. Why is it so hard just to live in unity. One race so many different shades of people that's Unity.
TerriCBrown Intelligent, eloquent, and strong enough and brave enough to express it.
I love this young man!!!!
Thanks for show this video. Italy is against fascism.
Fair points
saveriolakadima Quando a questo ragazzo gli ruberanno la bici o il telefonino, chiederà scusa!
A reply that sounds good & makes sense but probably Ill founded. like everywhere else if you look percentagely at the figures for crime you will see a greater amount of crime committed by immigrants.Yes Italians commits crime but they should not be importing crime & criminals.
g1useppecaruso Ma sei la Cuccarini 🤣 A vuò frní? Vir fascismo ovunque 🤣🤣 Pensa alle cose serie e vere, pensa alla Juve che ieri s'è arrubat nata partet... Ohohoho
A Jewish girl, who stood up to fascists, received a torrent of racist antisemitic abuse across Britain and the internet. To see the full story just look at any Facebook page Corbyn follows RachelRileyRR
There's still hope! 🇮🇹
MatthewStadlen why are you exploiting children in tweets who know zero about politics/ economics and history
MatthewStadlen Gullable 15y.o who knows nothing about Italian history ro getting a job yet. he will find out !!!
You missed Simone’s reply to the man strongly complaining about his wife going to work at 4.30 a.m. because of lack of transportation in the area. “And this is Roma’fault?!?” Very proud of Simone.
SebDance Intelligent guy...telling truth to those that don't want to listen. Much the same the world over.....trump using the very same methodology to demonise people who can't speak up loudly enough for their rights.
Noi Italiani siamo Simone💙
“Secondo me,nn deve essere lasciato indietro,ne un Rom ne un itliano ne qualsiasi altro tipo di persona...”fantastico! SIMONE
datomasino ecco il PD gia la tesserato bummmm ! fato il coglioncello comunistello ce la fatta auguri....
Our young hero.
Bravo quel picio!
labourlewis What are your thoughts on yesterday's WEC Report, on inequalities faced by Gypsies, Roma & Travellers in the UK?
OGiannino Si capiscono meglio i sottotitoli in inglese che l’audio in italiano 🤔
Despite footage like this, which crops up with more and more frequency, we are still told by governments to blame the young for the mess we are in!
OGiannino Not in this video but in the last part of the original one, a far right activist talks few inches from the boy face claiming about lack of services for the neighborhood. The boy wins with only few words: 'and is it the Roma's fault?'
OGiannino This little, useless and ridiculous red shit will be considered an hero for the next two weeks, after that he will be forgotten like Greta. Left wing parties rely upon children to survive. This is their end, at last!
I like the way you have to edit out their responses in case people realise they make sense.
Thanks Simone 😘😘 iostoconSimone
Chiaro che il romanesco rende molto di più
OGiannino The guardian dumb newspaper
OGiannino Not all the boys are such a lovely persons. Brunei /Myanmar?
1st they are not 70 ppl, they are 70 families, 3rd (in Italy) it is known that roma ppl don't want to work, they send their children to commit crimes and everyone knows that. I agree with the young man, but ppl don't trust roma (in Italy), because they we know how they behave
For non-italians readers, please, don't believe this because is pure propaganda. Actually the people (the fascists), is protesting for a very good reason. This article by is globalist, pro-invasion propaganda. They lie.
I am sorry to disappoint you but the young guy is not fighting against 'fascists'. Those people are residents of a neighborhood in which there is a gipsy community. They are protesting against the decay of the area. No 'refugees', at all.
💖
Sounds familiar
But there is no rise in fascist in the EU. It's not like they will win any seats in the upcoming elections.........
grannies4equal My God 😇🙏👼make him a world leader.

danielaconti71 there is hope in the younger people!
What an amazing young man, his parents must be so proud of him. He came across so well and spoke so much sense, well done to him 👏👏

Nomadi ladri NON RIFUGIATI.
Nelle periferie di Roma NON SI VIVE PIU' TRANQUILLI perchè ci sono troppi stranieri delinquenti! I rom RUBANO e mandano i figli a rubare. A TorreMaura ci sono famiglie Italiane che vivono di stipendio e se le derubano non possono ricomprare niente. I cittadini sono arrabbiati
Love this kid!!!! He is more switched on and intelligent as well. Give him an award. ❤️👏👏👏
NO! Io sono Italiana e romana, conosco molto bene la situazione e quello che scrivete è un fake! Questo ragazzo è solo strumentalizzato dai giornalisti Italiani e dalla politica Italiana di sinistra! Questo ragazzino non capisce niente di quello che è successo a TorreMaura
Isn't it a shame adults can't do it
Book this kid for next week's bbcqt !!
Cool cool cool
This makes me a proud Italian. Bravo Simo'! nunmestabenecheno Anche in versione internazionale.
Italian government justify fascism.
What a mature & knowledgeable response. Fantastic at any age but at 15...
Love you ! brave boy!
The italian teen should take all gypsies under his protective wing , and work for all of them . Wait... that means they will teach him to steal as well 😂😂😂. Another thief of hopes on the street.
GeorgeFoulkes Brilliant young man
I don't think Roma are Refugees. They are EU Citizens too.
What happened to British education?
There is hope! iostoconSimone nunmestabenecheno
Why have you greyed out his face and not the fascist? I think this clearly articulated human being needs to be celebrated. You should track him down and give him a podium to express his generation’s view not ‘grey’ out his face.
So young but so clever on the root causes ! 💪👍👍💕💕💕
He makes me think there is an hope. He's a young hero. Thanks, Simone 💙
non abbasseremo mai la testa davanti ai fascisti, oggi come nel 1943. Resistenza NonMeStaBeneCheNo
nobodyleftbehind. 😎💯
I also love the fact that the other person actually stood and listened instead of getting aggressive
There is still some hope on Italy.
The wrong persons face is blurred out.
Proudly Italian
Thanks for sharing! Italians are not racist!!
OwenJones84 Bravo, Lega nord e Cinque Stelle sono i ladri. nosticazzi.
Proud of you. Daje, Simone! 👏👏👏👏👏
Lady_ofShalott_ Many think that boy had his parents put those words into his mouth. Could be. But standing that way in front of those fascists, staring at them and continuing defending those ideas, well, this was HIM. Great example. And now we all should go kicking asses to all fascists.
bravimabasta You left out the best bit, when they tell him “you are one out of 100 who thinks so” and he say “at least I think!”
guffanti_marco Good job! Mate
Good lad
Bless you young man
sbrumali Fascist guy doesn't know the meaning of the word he uses: minority. How can he be Italian citizen?
👏👏👏 well played young man
nilocram a pitty it's face is obscured in this video, his quiet eyes and deep gaze are inspiring almost as his clear words
Hey kid. Roma steal, that is how they survive. People have a right to be angry. Neighbourhoods where Roma live do experience a higher level of crime due to Roma people. It's in their blood. Irrespective of whether they area minority people have a right to be heard.
I figli sono migliori dei padri! There’s still hope 🌈
Like the fact it's obviously a dialogue where both sides can speak - don't see much of that with the 'yellow vests' or far right Yaxley - Lennon type supporters in the UK... 🤔
Pacelli1958 He and egg boy should be allowed a holiday swop
Blaming minorities for what’s wrong in your neighborhood / city / State and trying to gain political power by igniting intolerance. That’s the fascist mindset.
Where's the evidence? How can anyone say from that video anyone is anything?
A voice of reason & compassion amongst the fear & hatred...brave and clear young man!
Brilliant!
well said, the kid
mmaher70 Well done, kid. 👍🙌
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
OwenJones84 People like him give me hope for humanity
Dear those aren't Roma refugees but Italian citizen of Roma ethnicity. Please, pay attention. The ones protesting are fascists cc OwenJones84
He shouldn't be doing that, though. I mean, he shouldn't have to be doing that.
Little big Simone. Young people is our best hope, let' s support them. IoStoConSimone
OwenJones84 I think the boy is saying the truth, that things would be better with LGBT's stoned to death, bikini ads & fast food banned, nightlife and drinking banned, segments on TV of how to beat your wife, all women covered in drapes, and generally things sunny with Sharia Law imposed.
There is hope in the world.
andrewfeinstein Goddamned right kiddo. Man I'm proud of the youth of today sometimes, they've got their shit together.
OwenJones84 I love how that brilliant young man wiped the floor of the bigot with logic and calmness
It should be obvious, but the real tragedy is that it' s not. Only a mistake: you twice translated 'Rom' (Gypsies immigrants) writing 'Roma': it' d be good if you corrected.
williamcrawley 👏 Well done young man! The world needs more young people like you 👏
Wow, what a lad. Though for the other guy was very respectable in listening. Suspect he won't always be a fascist
OwenJones84 Maybe because one group of people commit crimes disproportionately?
Why did you feel you have to cover his face?
OwenJones84 Edited garbage
SebDance Also amazing is how the activist stood and listened to the young man. If this was in the UK I doubt the young guy would have even finished his 2nd sentence before being shouted down or worse.
SebDance Young people now read from many news sources and are learning to more extensively analyse and distinguish fact from noise in a way that older generations never did. My oldest son, 16 at the time of the Brexit ref, could have out argued/analysed most Brexit binary voters. Fact.
Well done young man!
RNiallDMartin No idea why people support such scums nowadays. Some people like them take part in war against my homeland on side of agressor, as well as commit terrorism on our territory to provoke interethnical problems.
Grazie Simone , grazie mille ! Il y a en Europe une merveilleuse jeunesse . Solidaire et responsable. Ces images sont magnifique et redonnent de l'espoir.
The millennials are looking for solution to the problem the problems for a solution! teammillennials
What a star.
OwenJones84 Such a brave young man, intelligent and compassionate..
OwenJones84 Italian Hero
Brave principled person. There are many like him in UK
Ai mortacci suoi, quel ragazzo e un eroe!
It’s good to see the young being so intelligent and articulate. There is hope for the future.
OwenJones84 Good lad! What a boy! So intelligent and mature for his age! All of us need people like this kid to talk sense!
Some Italians seem to have forgotten what the consequences of Fascism are. Protip: it was humiliation.
Hope his parents are proud of the way he expressed himself so articulately.
What makes them 'far-right'?
Basta usare la testa...non è difficile. Bravo.
Young people are just as angry as older people, they just can channel all that anger to try to switch the point of view.
goblin_79 Ungi tanto si trova ancora un Italiano che ci fa fare bella figura all’estero.
AndrewRm
giuseppegenna SO FUCKING PROUD to be his fellow citizen TorreMaura
Unfortunately, the Guardian video cut the best part: - one of the fascist: 'You are the only one. One person among hundreds'. - the brave kid: 'Maybe, but at least I THINK!!!'. Cogito ergo sum Simone
bravimabasta Finally somebody who calls Lega Nord and 5 Stars for what they really are.
Nice in theory, but the gipsies do steal more. We were robbed six times. Totally cleared the house out, down to taking toilet brush and dog’s blanket. 6th time we had nothing, so they set the place alight. Police said it was the local gypsie camp but didn’t want to intervene.
geor97 Bravo 👏
Grande Simone, sei un mito, subito capoclasse! 🤗
He's a hero for me and for many other people. A young boy we must protect and encourage, one of those who will help us building a better future.
True manhood.
A young person seeing and saying it as it is. Racism isn’t needed by the fair minded. Fascist use it to stoke up hatred so it works in their favour destroys a community and then they blame immigrants. Convenient!! Look at yourselves & sort yourselves 1st and leave others allow🤬
UKDemockery What a young hero
Yea. You tell 'em, son.
momodellacasa
beautiful
artoflabour Love that boy
bravo
How proud would any of us be if that was your son grandson brother nephew?
Full video in the link below. Go Simone italianboy Fascists iostoconSimone
Hero 🌟
People have been fed up with ' political correctness'.
The heart and wisdom of this kid...
First thought? The fascist is Voldemort with a fake nose!
Quite brave though emotional. Like the guy!
This shouldn't be just viral, this thinking should be permanently instilled in our minds. That anger is not the solution to the problem. Be a part of the solution and not add to the problem.
This literal translation pisses me off, though. Like, c'mon guys.
johnrutledge Hey...let’s honor the many Italians who give jobs to refugees.
This is wokeness.
I'm so glad this is going viral
That woman in glasses has a lookalike somewhere. One of the walking dead i think
You see, he ENGAGED them. Not shut them down, tried to have their twitter suspended and their free speech removed.
Pleased , that it was translated, well said young man
All to often the extremists steal the light while the majority are left in the shade. The young man was the voice of a majority never given exposure,
'Stupid millennials with their avocados!'
Wow! Such empathy and smarts! God bless that young man.
Italy just found their next PM
I remember when I still felt hope
Bravo!
Warrior , we need more
alinatede Simone star internazionale. Grande💪 fascistidimerda
And people want kids to vote. Fucking hell.
So proud of Simone He's not the only one. Some time ago while in Sardinia for local elections teenagers have been a nightmare for Salveeny... trolling eroes every where! 'Merda letale' Letal shit 😂😂😂 facciamorete fbpe theResistance nofascismo
there is no extremist at the left side, no far left, only far right.....🤔
He is not italian
he is blathering on and on and saying absolutely NOTHING, other that taxpayer money should fund immigrants and you have the nerve to say that the people who oppose massive immigration are fascists. What a load of BS, you take care of your citizens first, NOT people who invaded.
Nicandfartin He's brave.
Right before he gets knifed to death.......
hope
Bravo amico mio !!!
“you are deviding us on purpose for your votes and attention”...is the kid talking about a Guardian Reporter?
Our future is looking distinctly brighter, when such as this young man are speaking out for a kinder and more inclusive world.
There is hope for our future, Orwell's Fury rings out through a new generation
Idiot boy...
Young people are changing the old way of thinking, these rotten politics based in hate that state who is against who or what. We are a global community beyond nationalities or cultural differences. Take a look.
Hope that young man runs for office 333
He's a brave lad for standing up for what he believes in. But in general, most people still want mass migration to stop. It is said to affect poor communities the most.
Young boy who talks logic & sense with passion & strength of character summing up the far right’s exploitation of minorities !! 🇮🇹✊🏼👏🏻
The millenniums will save bravo❤️
Sickeningly ironic how the fascists try to whip up the wider public to drive out the Roma when the real threat to society is the fascists themselves. Well done to that young man for calling them out on their hateful bs. Never let hate go unchallenged. Always be antifascist
grazieSimone iostoconSimone 👊
And here is why 16 year should be given the vote !!
👍✌️
Fascism can be left or right It is always totalitarian, and fosters hate to different legit views about different issues Obviously it doesn't promote and respect any Intelectual Property on any person with rights
Wonder why Sinti and Roma have a reputation everywhere to be thieves, to steal whatever comes in the way? It must come from somewhere or certain incidents. That dogma does not come out of the blue.
And what is doing to support 30,000 British citizens in Gibraltar stand up to Spanish aggression, borne of a fascist claim to our land? Do you need me to face gonzalezpons for a photo opp?
In Italian language Roma is the name of the city while in yours Roma means Rom people: weird to read it of one is italian
Bravo. What an erudite young man.
Random Italian kid for President: 2020
Roma antifascista!
