A fundraiser for the purchase of a new scooter but also to offer him a job. It is the solidarity contest that is uniting all of Italy in aid of the fifty-year-old victim in recent days of an attack in Naples. The man was aboard his scooter making a delivery. But he suffered an attack by six kids aboard two scooters, as evidenced by this video, made by a resident and disseminated on social media. The attacked rider expressed regret.
Rider attacked, the solidarity race
A video that soon made the rounds of the web enough to cause indignation and compassion towards the rider, Gianni, 52, married and with two children. The kids beat him and eventually took his scooter away. Those responsible for the attack were then stopped. Also found the moped. But the bitterness remains. Thus, a great solidarity competition was launched, thanks to which about 10 thousand euros were raised. The money will be used to allow the XNUMX-year-old to buy a new scooter but also to find a new job.
The gesture of a Lazio player for the rider
Among the gestures of solidarity for the attacked rider is the one who comes from the world of football. Mohamed Fares, Lazio defender, donated 2.500 euros by participating in the public subscription to raise funds for the rider. The amount paid in total confidentiality, then made public on social media. Through the gofundme.com platform, donations continue. "The Neapolitan people will never forget your gesture "," Endless applause for Momo Fares ", are some of the phrases written on social networks by many Neapolitans.
"On my Fb page - says the regional councilor of Europa Verde, Francesco Emilio Borrelli - there are already many demonstrations of concrete solidarity. There are several Neapolitan entrepreneurs who, despite the period of crisis, have offered jobs". Many were indignant at what happened. Not only in Naples but also in other cities.
And the same rider, after telling what happened, saw the video of his assault. Among other things, the stolen scooter belonged to his daughter. And to continue working in the following days, the man used a car that was loaned to him. "I am angry - said the fifty-year-old rider - but I'm sorry for those guys who carried out the robbery. They are kids. When they told me to hand over the scooter, I tried to resist screaming but I was not afraid because I only tried to defend something of mine, useful to my family. How much cruelty. They are kids but they shouldn't act like that".
