#63http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davide_Cesare
"Davide Cesare, also known as Dax (1977 - March 16, 2003) was an Italian anti-fascist activist from Rozzano (Milano), who was stabbed to death by two far-right activists in Milan, the night of March 16, 2003. Cesare was brought to the hospital but died in the ambulance. Immediately after his death, members of his group tried to enter the hospital but were blocked by the police. This resulted in new riots with several people being injured, damage to police cars, and the emergency department suspending all activities for the whole night."

That reminds me of this timeline on when we're going to exhaust certain natural resources (which has antimony running out at 2020): http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20120618-global-resources-st... A bit of a downer, but interesting to think about.
Why all the hubbub about rain forests then?? Running out of phosphorus would be scary!

Interesting that he was American but served in the RFC (predecessor to the RAF). I didn't know that you could do that. It seems that back then nationality was a looser concept? We didn't yet have the closed border regime that we have now across the first world. But there had to be limits, especially given the war. Inquiring minds want to know...
i've heard of many the european that served in another european army. maybe it's just the u.s. that's missing out.
