| 'World peace' hitcher is murdered | |
| 2008-04-12 | |
| Surprisingly the Beeb put the quotes in the title. An Italian woman artist who was hitch-hiking to the Middle East dressed as a bride to promote world peace has been found murdered in Turkey. The naked body of Giuseppina Pasqualino di Marineo, 33, known as Pippa Bacca, was found in bushes near the city of Gebze on Friday. She had said she wanted to show that she could put her trust in the kindness of local people.
Ms di Marineo was hitch-hiking from Milan to Lebanon with a fellow artist on their "Brides on Tour" project. They had separated in Istanbul, planning to reunite in Beirut. Ms di Marineo was last seen on 31 March in Gebze. An Italian embassy official told the Associated Press news agency police tracked the man when he put a new SIM card into Ms di Marineo's mobile phone. Local media identified the suspect only by the initials MK and said he had a previous conviction for theft. Ms di Marineo's sister, who had gone to Turkey to look for her, identified the body. An autopsy is being conducted in Istanbul. "Her travels were for an artistic performance and to give a message of peace and of trust, but not everyone deserves trust," another sister, Maria, told the Italian news agency, Ansa. | |

| #20 She was lucky this hadn't already happened to her in Italy. Darwin in action. It doesn't sound like her family is surprised, although I'm sure they grieve. tipover, had a man attempted to hitch-hike the same route in a wedding dress, I suspect the outcome would have been similar. |

| #15 Looking at the map, she didn't get far into Turkey before this happened. This should be a lesson for some moon bats about how safe they are in the west. |

| #14 This could have happened anywhere. These folks are raised in societies where the "Rule of Law" holds, especially for the well off. For some strange reason they think that everyone has their world view. They are shocked, shocked when their faith in mankind is disproved. If they are lucky they are still alive after their educational experience. It amazes me that the current crop of young females think they can go off by themselves without anyone else with them and that nothing will happen. It is so sad that they so often learn otherwise the hard way. |

| #13 We can set her idol up on the shelf next to St. Pancake. Nope. THis girl was merely a dreamer and the little we know about her, she was probably a good person. An idiot but a good person. Rachel Corrie, was full of hate. You just have to look at her face while she burned an American flag. In front of the Paleos an,d wearing a burkha. Also she didn't go to Soudan in orderr to help people who really suffer, people who are enslaved , raped, mass-murdered fior the crime of not belonging to the masters race. He went to help people who are well fed, who are themselves to blame for the little action takes against them and who want to perpertrate a genocide. Not the "aseptic" genocide of the gas chambers but a sadistic one like in Rwanda. And Rachel Corrie sided with them. Tell me with who walk and I will tell you who you are. Rachel Corrie walked with murderers and genociders. |

| #11 Usually these people (the term used solely for purposes of reference) get others killed. |

| #10 I also wonder how many of these starry eyed dreamers have to be murdered before they wake up and realize that they're wrong. All of them unfortunately, there have denied evidence so long it's a religion now, Starting with "Saint Pancake" and including too many others to name. This gal is just one of the blinded to reality flock, no cure possible. |

| #9 "I also wonder how many of these starry eyed dreamers have to be murdered before they wake up and realize that they're wrong." Many. It is evolution we are observing, that is some of each species prefer learning by mistakes. Besides, it is an indicator that it's allright with the world. I would become very concerned (and suspicious of the total control over people) if such naivists disappeared. |

| #5 Islam is barbaric. They are a murderous ideology. Hopefully other moonbats get a clue from this, but I doubt it. |

| #4 So would this be "irony"? "Her travels were for an artistic performance and to give a message of peace and of trust, but not everyone deserves trust," sister, Maria, told the Italian news agency, Ansa. At least it looks like somebody learned a valuable lesson from this. |

| #3 Probably another idealistic trust fund rich kid attempting to get "the universe" to manifest world peace by sending "positive vibes". Sadly, the world doesn't work that way. |

| #2 The crime is a sad end. Sad too, is the criminal stupidity that led up this. True, but not unexpected. I wonder if she had an epiphany of sorts right before they killed her. I also wonder how many of these starry eyed dreamers have to be murdered before they wake up and realize that they're wrong. |
