Again, I was referring to the Cadinal's statement in the article. I again suggest re-reading the Cardinal's article, slowly.

The only evidence we have to go on is the picture and I cannot see people picnicking or sunbathing around the children’s bodies.
You have 5 or 6 links in the above posts to articles, several with eyewitness accounts.

Noma, you're waffling dear. Let's see if a picture paints a thousand words.

We are looking for people picnicking or sunbathing around the childrens bodies - we are looking for a lack of concern by those on the beach at the time - for hordes of people who didn't act and didn't feel remotely concerned - we are looking for the people who were irritated by the sight cluttering up the sand. We are also trying to establish how far away the couple are from the girls.

What do we see?

More photos.

These must be the hordes of people sunbathing - everyone sunbathes standing up in Naples.

There was no one to look after them and keep a respectable vigil

Perhaps picnics, indifference and lack of concern was confined to the left side of the beach only.

Here is a videoclip, which makes it pretty clear that the other users of the beach were acting respectfully. Somebody had even managed to place some flowers near to the girls.

Thank you very much for posting this videolink Charles. Apologies for crossing posts.

I knew - I just knew it was impossible for Neapolitans to behave in the way they have been accused of and I only hope the parents of the girls and the Rom community also know this.

Racial tension has not reached the point of indifference and disrespecting death in Naples - and never will.

I think that it makes us feel much better to realise that this was a classic case of manipulation by some media. This reconciles me with humanity, however, the press should be more careful about their releases. Don't worry, Sally, we were all so upset by what we saw and the claims published, that even the Catholic Church had to say something officially. As for the media, they acted like vultures.
