Italian Fathers' Rights Activist Attempts to Set Himself On Fire
Priority News Exchange Program News Item (PNEP)

For Video of Act Click: http://www.mrausa.net/showthread.php?t=1402

An Italian Fathers Rights activist, who hasn't been able to see his son for over 15 years (despite the courts' endless bogus posturing), attempted to set himself on fire live Italian TV to protest the abuse men are suffering worldwide due to the system. It seems the movement is slowly coming to see that peaceful protest gets little attention from the Main Stream Media.

I think he really needed to be a bit more motivated.

Nearly setting yourself on fire shows a certain lack of commitment.

I get it though, that the fathers are not getting fair treatment judging by the number of publicity stunts they perform.

Still, a match... he should have brought a lighter.

This would go well in the ODD NEWS in General Banter.

Some fathers do seem to have problems asserting their rights, whether this is a result of cultural bias in relation to childcare or due to individual circumstances can be hard to tell.

in this article http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail...h-men-em-em-wanted-stay-home.html it details how one man, having given up his job to look after his children following discussion with his with was then cast aside and left in real trouble.

There are millions of stories like the one you smartly pointed out in the Daily Mail. Upsetting the family is the goal, for it makes a population more easily controlled. Stats out of the US, Australia, Canada and the UK show women up and leave relationships, egged on by the media, by upwards of 80%, and then take the wealth, kids & home and then the media paints the fathers as the ones that are leaving for a younger women like this is 50 years ago. It's all upside down.

I'm probably shooting in the dark here, but did all this clearly awful situation for the fathers start with Thatcher making the fathers pay ridiculous financial support payments ?

I actually think that the real problems began when it became an economic imperitive [for the majority] that both parents work in order to maintain some sort of standard of living ...
