Do you suppose it was one of the people he screwed over come back for revenge, like in the movie Eega?

Not sure, but I do think there’s a good chance that just before he died he shouted EEEEEEGGGGAAAA!!

From that article:

Security was already quite tight there so I can’t imagine what it’s like now.

Venice had the original Jewish Ghetto (which is where that word comes from) dating back to the 1500s when the city’s Jews were forced to live in a tiny, cramped neighborhood. Very sad history, especially when the Nazis came along. During our trip to Venice my daughter and I stopped by there to see it and when I was taking a photo of one of the historic markers next to a synagogue a plainclothes security guy got very upset with me, asking why I was taking photos and asked me to delete it. I complied and moved on, but jeez, it was just a historic marker and there weren’t any kind of signs indicating that photos weren’t allowed. I’m sure the security folks are even more on-edge these days.

I love this headline.
It’s everything I want for a Tuesday.
Someone at The Guardian is doing a good job playing it right down the middle of “just the facts, ma’am.”
