Drugs And A Toddler Implicated In Mafia Murder Caught On Camera
PSST! Wanna see a man being murdered in Mafia hit in Naples?
Having already brought you the death of murder of Chongkham Sanjit by Indian police, we now present for your enjoyment the murder of another man in broad daylight.
Murder is not to be confused with the images that “some viewers might find distressing” of peoples screaming in pain on the nightly news as they pick flail in the bloody aftermath of a car bomb. This is murder. This is really gruesome. That is merely war.
So here is “the horrific footage”, of a man being shot three times by an assassin outside a Naples bar.
Says the Telegraph, on whose site this is the most popular story right now:
As the victim slumps to the ground, the hitman then finishes him off with a bullet to the head and calmly walks away. Blood can be seen spreading onto the pavement from the head of the dead man, who is still holding a cigarette in his hand.
Roll credits. It’s not real. It’s the media. It might be a viral video for a new detergent or the new shoot-em-up video game Mafia VI: Fukka Yous-a. You are invited to look. Look. Look.
The man on t he pavement – the one you are gawping at - is called Mariano Bacio Tarracino. And, as reported, he is “believed to have been connected to a mafia clan involved in a drug trafficking turf war with a rival group”.
Yes, believed. Naples. Murder. It’s a decent guess that the mafia were involved, and why not mention drugs? It might be something else that killed Senor Tarracino but the mafia element makes the story fly and more than just a snuff movie.
Anti-mafia investigators said they released the horrific footage of the murder, which happened in May, because they still had not managed to find the killer – despite the fact that the angle of the surveillance cameras means that his face is clearly visible beneath his baseball cap. He even seems to be smirking after carrying out the execution.
Seems to be smirking? Might it be that – get this – the person who just pumped three bullets into a man’s head is a lunatic who enjoys his work? Or maybe the smirk is a grimace?
Say the Naples police:
“We have decided to circulate the video as widely as possible, urging the co-operation of whoever can provide information to identify the killer and his lookout.”
Sop her si is on a UK website. Do you recognise the man? Looks closer. Look. Look. Look.
The Daily Telegraph is here to offer its opinion:
His shooting was met with apparent indifference by bystanders who were caught on film outside the bar, in Naples’s central Sanita district.
Apparent indifference might be a euphemism for “terror”, “ignorance” – did they see the killing? – or cynicism.
A man holding a toddler in his arms looks at the victim and walks away, while a woman is seen rubbing off her scratch-and-win lottery card as the execution takes place.
Those Neopolitan toddlers are hard-hearted little bastards. And in case you still don’t know what to make of a man being murdered - good or bad; vote now - the Telegraph invites another hack to explain:
An investigative journalist who wrote a best-selling expose of the Camorra, Roberto Saviano, said the indifference of bystanders was perhaps the most shocking element of the video.
Perhaps it is. But we’d go with the most shocking element being man being shot in the head. Back to the expert?
“First he walks in the bar, he looks around, and then he comes out and starts shooting.” The mundane surroundings of the assassination and its brutality could help to “dispel Hollywood myths about mafia violence and show what a Camorra execution is really like,” he said.
Or it might just be another bit of entertainment captured through a lens…

Oh I loved Keddies! so sad to see that go….. remember the queues for the sales? longer than for a signed Jordan book.
October 31st, 2009 at 9:45 am
Battling your way round, but NOT the china dept, and no guns.
Keddies sales were bad enough weren’t they?
October 30th, 2009 at 11:16 pm
Okay. So that’s the Naples Fl. mall off the list. Gun toting grannies are not for me. I can only imagine if my late mother had had access to a gun….
June, I once caught the tail-end of Harrods sale when loads of stuff was 75% off. Now that was exciting.
October 30th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
Re Cheryl’s post, lets stick to Harrods sale?
October 30th, 2009 at 10:14 pm
Good idea C&C, but perfumes and beauty counters too, just for frivolity and sunscreen.
Actually the topic is so sickening, you need to step back

Interesting, a shooting is reported and immediately people presume it is in the USA! Fair is fair, please - UK has had crimes over there also involving guns!
Anyhow, Mafia murders are at a low over here; as most are busy testifying against each other in Federal courts or sitting in Prison! If it was a drug deal gone bad over here or drugs not paid for, the ‘collectors’ usually don’t make such a clean shoot! They usually use automatic weapons and bullets flying around more times than not hit innocent people standing around.
As for Florida, CoolandCalm, forget about the killings caused only by mobility scooters or 90 year olds driving a cadillac. The law was passed several years ago putting guns into the many ’seniles’ hands inhabiting Florida. Those fine elderly seniles now keep guns in their houses to protect themselves from harm or imagined harm! The first month it was passed a retired homeowner shot the neighbor down the way who came onto their property as they feared bodily harm! Not meaning to scare you but if you PO or scare an elderly driving a car there I do believe they have a law that permits one to apply to carry a concealed weapon under certain restrictions in their cars! If you plan to shop in their malls these days may I suggest you check their guns laws to see if those fine residents can carry guns in their purses! Wouldn’t want to see you get into an altercation over who picked what first from the sales racks!

Can we narrow it down to shoes and handbags without seeming too insensitive?
October 30th, 2009 at 8:01 pm
I like this discussion. We’ve gone from murder to shopping in the space of a few hours with a bit of geography thrown in the middle.
October 30th, 2009 at 7:34 pm
Bat E Bird… you’re getting pedantic like me!!
Joking and pedantry aside, Naples Florida isn’t really mafia territory. You’re more likely to be killed by a mobility scooter or a 90 year old in a cadillac. Very much a retirement/snowbird zone.
Though I did spend many happy hours in the shopping mall there…..

The Times says “The footage prompted a member of the Green party in the Campania region around Naples to offer a €2,000 (£1,800) reward for information leading to an arrest.”
The reward would be in dollars if it was the American Naples.
I should be a detective
October 30th, 2009 at 5:38 pm
and of course there is Mucho Mafia in the US also…… .
October 30th, 2009 at 5:12 pm
There is a Naples in the US. In Florida. and v. nice it is there too.
October 30th, 2009 at 4:57 pm
thats true, but it was the Telegraph…
October 30th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
…and it should actually be Signor, as it is Italy - Senor is the Spanish equivalent, so there…..!
October 30th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Whether its Italy or the US, the tragedy isn’t poor journalism.
They called him Senor , not Mister so it must be Italy
October 30th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
Oops, you beat me to it Mod.
October 30th, 2009 at 3:25 pm
Is there a Naples in America?
October 30th, 2009 at 3:19 pm
Was this in america or italy ? The article doesn’t even mention what country this happened in… pathetic and poor journalism
Moderator - Naples is in Italy, try reading the item

I’m not becoming desensitised - I’ve totally avoided watching the video even though links have been plastered around everywhere.
I can’t understand why anyone would want to watch someone get murdered.
October 30th, 2009 at 2:52 pm
I think we all getting fact and fiction muddled up and becoming desensitised in the process.
Whatever he did, this is a real living breathing person, not an actor, who has been executed in cold blood on the pavement in public in daylight.
It is not an episode of CSI that ends in happy ever after. This is very scary………
Reporting is such crap sometimes!
