Comments on: Vito Roberto Palazzolo http://www.vrpalazzolo.com The story of Vito Roberto Palazzolo who for more than a quarter of a century has suffered from the arbitrary injustice of the Italian State Tue, 29 Mar 2011 07:32:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Sandra Gizela http://www.vrpalazzolo.com/comment-page-1/#comment-553 Sandra Gizela Tue, 29 Mar 2011 07:32:50 +0000 http://www.vrpalazzolo.com/?page_id=2019#comment-553 Dear All, When i first read the Wikipedia article on Roberto, i could not believe this is the same man i met in Angola circa 1996 and much less does the warm hearted man that always offered his hospitality to me and my German/Angolan family whenever he would be... I am so glad that Roberto and his family took the time to "set the record strait", it was imperative to hear his side of the history, after all a coin has two sides! Regards from Hamburg, Sandra Gizela Dear All,

The sad thing about our humans are that they can't stand it when other people are successful and would do everything in their power to run them down. I am on your side. Kind regards Louis de Jongh Dear Mr. Palazzolo

The problem of course is that there has been tendentious reporting on your case: from the first court to the most recent, the media has reported the accusations, but never the outcomes. And what is most shocking about this is that the newspapers, when alerted to this, simply refuse to hear your side of the story. Question is, why? Is it that they (the newspaper editors in question) have a hidden agenda, or simply a case of miss-placed false pride, that they cannot say "sorry, we weer wrong, we're sorry?" I am sorry for my own tendentious reporting - and will keep kicking this door until something gives...

I have always found it personally appalling that simply being of Sicilian decent automatically leads governments and people in general to believe a person is a member of mafia. My father, may he rest in peace, was originally from Partinico, Sicily and shared many stories with me regarding this stereo typing of Sicilians. As my late father said there is nothing more important than a person’s “onorabilità e la dignità”, to that end I commend your fight against your wrongful accusers and wish you the best of luck. Sincerly, Giuseppe Lo Piccolo New York, New York Mr. Palazzolo,
