You attacked me last time, you remember?

You attacked me last time, you remember?

You attacked me last time, remember?

Hey, not so big of a chatter right now, are you? Hey!

Those guys are terrorizing the streets of Florence. Those guys are making it

unsafe.

For tourists.

Private?

This is not private.

My friend, this is not private. This is a train station.

There's a bit of fear to intervene in some cases. So not kind of bothering us

after a certain hour. Police is scared?

No go there.

I want to say one thing and then we

leave it I don't give a about your skin color your single i don't give a but

your wait your religion i don't give i don't give my religion it's about

behavior and kashin area is the place three months ago

where they threatened me and my friend with bottles glass bottles let's see how

it changed in the last three months

Who throw the bottle? Who? Who?

Okay,

breaking a glass now. Watch out.

Yeah. Take it. Take it.

Take it. Thank you, Richie.

Why? Why tomorrow?

Just chill. I'm chill. I'm chill. Okay. Okay. Okay.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Easy!

Hey!

Mother!

Mother! Leave him not on the ground!

We don't have that message on the ground!

So

these

kind of rocks...

They were throwing at us.

Imagine the damage it could do, guys.

So guys, Florence again.

Let's take a look at what happened last time I visited, about three months ago.

Relax!

Relax!

Relax!

Relax! Relax!

Why are you throwing bottle no you took the bottle why you have to relax you

have to relax you have to relax you have to relax

I am, I am, you're calling me.

You're calling me, you're calling me, that's it.

You are calling me.

Oh,

I can make video everywhere.

To give a little bit of more context, we were filming right next to the Duomo,

the central square, the most touristic square of Florence. And immediately when

we threw up our camera, some African guys got highly aggressive against us.

And don't get me wrong, those are not good guys. Those are not innocent guys.

Because what they do is giving away bracelets for free.

And when the customer doesn't want to pay, they get highly aggressive.

We've seen it multiple times in my videos.

If you didn't watch it yet, watch it back.

Also, many scammers in this city.

And I want to find out if anything has changed after my last visit. Has the

police taken back control of this city? Has the government taken back control of

this city?

Let's check it out. Or...

Is it still a shithole as it used to be?

Let's discover Florence again round two So to be very clear

on the squad that is walking behind me These guys are not a fighting squad. The

only reason they are here behind me is Purely and only because of the fact that

I want to do my job safely That's it. Let's go guys. So let's start this video

of easy and let's not be biased on this video because many things can change

in three months after my last visit let's go in neutral let's just see what

we encounter and just film it basically so let's give Florence

a second chance right now we are walking

towards the monument the big monument last time there were multiple guys

trying to steal the money of tourists because tourists throw money in the

fountain and the stealers the pickpocketers the thieves are yeah just

stealing the money basically let's see how that place in florence is right now

we're walking towards it right now a couple of minutes we are there

and again guys I keep repeating it look how beautiful this Italian city looks

like look at it I keep mentioning it

because it also has to be said the buildings here the squares here not only

in Florence but in all of Italy are beautiful bellissimo I don't know what's

going on here but let's have a look what's the problem

Yeah, okay watch out.

He spit on you. Why?

Why did you spit on me?

Do you speak a little bit English brother?

Okay.

Why? Why?

Why? Why?

Why? Why?

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

All the best.

Yeah, I don't know exactly what happened but apparently one of our friends was

alone on his bike and he got spit on.

Yeah,

but that's the point I think it's very I keep repeating it in every video I think

it's very Sad that those people are using using drugs out in the open next

to the city center next to where families are walking children are

walking I tried to spit you

Well, let's continue, guys. Good start of Florence, isn't it? Very good start.

And again, guys, we are not looking for a fight. Let's be very clear on that

topic. We are not looking for fights.

We just want to film this city how it is, as a reality. And previous

experiences told us that I'm simply not able to film safely anymore and do my

work.

that's why there is a massive group we will never attack first but it's just

for security so let's be very clear on that guys right now we almost approached

the monument the big monument where tourists are giving their money making

wishes and scammers thieves are stealing that money we saw it in my last video

let's see if that place is cleaned up right now or is it still the same as

three months ago let's go for it

and

as you can see they're still here

but she didn't snatch it yet she's asking that's another story also

Very irritating Can you leave that money, please? Can you go? Can you go?

This is tourist money. Can you go please? This is tourist money. Thank you

very much.

Leave. Leave.

You are plagued. Thank you very much.

Leave.

Leave. Leave.

Go.

so maybe just an incident but 10 seconds were in and someone is doing exactly the

same as we saw three months before let's not judge yet let's wait a little bit

maybe it was an incident to be continued

leave it back back back back

put the money back put the money back put the money back and go please You're

a scammer. Fuck off.

You're a scammer. You're a thief. Please fuck off.

Scammer. You're a scammer. You're a thief. You're a plague to this city.

Fuck off.

Mierda.

Mierda. Go. Go, brother. Go, go, go.

So basically, this is what, why tourists donate.

Donations collected into the Borsellino's pool.

will be used to Opera Madonnini del Graffi's charity.

So tourists think they are donating for charity.

And still, the same as three months before, every two minutes,

thieves are sitting here to steal it. So apparently it was not an incident.

It still exists.

Police, government didn't do shit about it after my last visit.

Let's go to the next spot.

and guys it is to be fair they are harmless they are harmless people they

don't do any violence they don't threaten people they don't attack people

but still they are thieves and i you're admitting it okay okay can you tell me

why you do it wrong but how are you think Okay, maybe find a job. You can

find a job. No, you cannot find a job, bro. No? How can I? Listen to me first,

bro. I will. I will, I will. One year already, I come here, Italy.

Okay. Where are you from, originally?

I am Indian.

Indian, okay. One year already, my fingerprint, already all documented.

Already one year, I cannot get my document.

Already one year, finished.

My fingerprint, everything done.

Already one year.

But what?

I'm not ready my document. Already one year. I think you want a better life.

You're from India. You want a better life here. I can understand that. Yes.

But regardless, what you're doing is stealing.

I just sitting there, bro. What you're doing is stealing. Are there no other

ways to make money?

Bro, I already find here job six month.

But all asking me document.

Already one year my document not ready.

I pay everything, one cent I pay to... But if the document is not ready after a

year, isn't it a smart plan to move?

To go?

To go, big brother, I don't know. Bro, I pay to agent 15,000 euro for come here.

Yeah, okay.

And what's the result?

What's the result?

The result is that you're stealing.

I don't have document.

Yeah, okay, but brother, I know, I know.

I agree a little bit, but is it our problem, brother?

Okay,

let's leave it here. I wish you all the best. I hope you don't steal anymore

because you're scamming tourists. That's what you're doing at the end. You are.

Because the tourists think...

Listen to me. The tourists think they're giving money for charity. And what you

do is take that money. So you're scamming them.

Let's leave it here.

So basically the point I tried to make was that those guys are not harmful

guys. They don't attack. They don't do any harm to other people. But they are

thieves. And how easy is it for police to clean this place? It only takes one

police officer.

but again enough about this topic let's move on to the next so guys another

beautiful square Piazza Signorina look at it guys absolutely magnificent

magnificent beautiful beautiful

so

right now walking towards the

famous Ponte Vecchio and

we all know by now there are many pickpockets it's full of pickpockets

there so let's have a look let's have a look at Ponte Vecchio

guys selling some

paintings here

let's have a look so while having a drink what kind of

experiment would this be never mind so guys last time i visited

florence i miss out on the main train station right there underneath the

beautiful italian flag so let's have a walk here around the main station so

yeah let's have a

Walk here.

Private?

This is not private.

My friend, this is not private. This is a f***ing train station.

Why are you shouting at me? I'm just passing by

Brother

I am just passing by don't make any stress, please

I'm just passing I

am just passing by

No, I'm not going. I'm in Italy. I can just stand here and film the f***ing

station. I was just passing by. The guy is shouting at me. I didn't ask for it.

Okay. Okay.

Aggressive, aggressive, aggressive guy.

Two guys here on the right.

Shouting, shouting.

Saying that this is private property.

This isn't private property, is it?

There is no problem. There is no problem.

Why?

Why?

Why?

I am doing my job. I am filming here. I'm just filming here, the street.

No one can... Brother, I'm passing by.

Yeah? I'm just passing by.

Yeah, mentally, yeah. You are mentally. I can film here and it's no problem,

yeah? You making the problem.

Unbelievable. Private property here.

Let me tell you one thing. Hello, mate. All good? I'm just filming myself.

I'm just doing a vlog. Yeah? For me, no.

For me, no.

Why?

Are you security?

Okay, why? Why is it better to go?

Okay,

but you know what the problem is?

No, no, I'm telling you. I'm telling you. You know what the problem is? That

guys like you, with all respect, security, accept that this is normal.

No, no, but you're telling me it's better to go.

So yeah, where was I?

Private property.

I cannot film here because it's private property. We are next to the main train

station of Florence.

And the fact that guys like the security guy we just met telling us that

we could better walk on.

That's the major issue, isn't it? Because that means the city is accepting

it. The city is accepting that this is a zone where you cannot film.

Private property, my ass.

This is Florence.

This is Italy.

This is Europe. Look at the flag. It's an Italian flag, isn't it? Or is it the

flag of North Korea?

I don't think so.

So let's move on. Crazy.

Crazy attitude.

And I was not even filming him. I was just passing.

bye so train station now we got up hello

guys hi we got up and now we are upstairs

here all good yeah okay friendly guys friendly guys

yeah friendly guys all good guys i wish you all the best okay bye bye bye mate

bye okay let's go to the

Duomo again, the place where it all kicked off three months ago.

Let's evaluate the situation there.

yeah ah okay anyone go in or not would you say as a resident of florence you're

a resident you live here i've seen uh cameron wars 33 years living here 23

years would you say would you say it's a safe city right now not so much not so

much only not so much it's becoming worse and worse yes we're going to

question the next what is in casino tell me you can find like many guys from like

okay

not standing guys they are all foreign guys from turkey from algeria okay but

that's no problem what are they doing yeah

the

thing is that the problem is that the entire area is kind of under control

about different areas we know that most likely the nigerian mafia has to do a

lot with the areas over there and what does the police do yeah the problem is

that there's a i think

A bit of both. There's a bit of fear to intervene in some cases, so not kind of

bothering us after a certain hour. Police is scared?

No goes on.

And I don't know if there is some corruption or other things. I don't

know, but there's not a lot of...

There's not a lot of cleaning of that area as it's supposed to be. I think in

the last five years, it's been much more dangerous than it was. Maybe in the very

center, it's not that dangerous, but there are areas like the train station

over there. We just walked out. We walked past some guys.

we didn't even film them and they were kicking off they were getting aggressive

because we had the camera you come down at 1 a.m in the morning in the train

station it's even worse yeah did you see my first video florence did you see it

by any chance yes did you saw what happened on the duomo yeah what do you

what do you think of that yeah no i think it's terrible is that a normal

thing here or because i never had the aggressive ones also

Okay, so they can do whatever they want? Yeah.

So it's a playground for them basically without any know whatever they want, but

in some cases I think they can do much more than they're supposed to do for

sure. Police did nothing last time. Yeah, that's the issue.

Thank you very much.

What's your name again?

Francesco. Tom. Nice to meet you.

Beautiful. Yeah.

Bravo. Bravo.

Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. What are you doing? You're working guys.

Working with the Viber.

Oh, with the Viber.

Hardworking boys. I love to see it.

Very good. I wish you a nice day, guys.

Bye-bye. Thank you.

Bye-bye.

Yeah, we will. We will.

Okay, guys. The place where it all kicked off three months ago.

Piazza del Duomo.

The main square of Florence.

Hi Hello Exactly this guy is

one of the guys attacked me Exactly this guy

You attacked me last time. You remember?

You attacked me last time. You remember?

Hey, do you remember me?

You attacked me last time. Huh?

Hey, you outnumbered us.

You remember?

Yeah, police.

Hello, police. You remember us? Hey.

Yeah,

yeah, one of them.

You attacked me last time. Remember?

Hey, do you remember me?

Do you remember me?

Hey, not so big of a chatter right now, are you? Hey, not so big of a chatter

right now.

Huh? Hey, where's your big mouth now? You attacked me last time. Look me in

the eyes, mother. Look me in the eyes.

Hey.

Hello.

Now you're silent. See?

See, guys?

This guy behind me was with a group of seven, eight, three months ago,

fighting, the two of us.

And now it doesn't do shit, but you only attack when you are in numbers

unbelievable And okay, okay guys, maybe

I'm a little bit too excited, but it's personal for me It's personal because

three months ago. I was on this

Go. Take your time. You're going to me.

You're walking up to me.

Keep your distance.

Keep your distance.

Keep your distance.

Move. Move. Move.

Don't move forward.

Don't move forward. Move. Don't move forward. Move. Fucking.

Move. Fucking. Move. Just go. Just go.

Okay.

Come on.

this is the behavior this is the behavior we saw last time as well as

well

was against us last time same as the guy that inside and

You are walking up to me. Leave me alone.

Leave me alone.

It's no problem.

He's aggressive.

I was telling, this is personal.

And the reason why it's personal is because last time I was at the exact

same spot here, we were ambushed by seven, eight guys.

One of them is still standing there.

Hello, mate. All good?

Nice to meet you, brother.

So, yeah.

it is personal it is personal because those guys are terrorizing the streets

of florence those guys are making it unsafe for tourists and apparently

nothing changed yet if you compare it to last time three months ago

Why?

Why?

I can film whatever.

Okay, but then you can move on.

Why if you don't like, you stay here?

Why?

They don't want to get filmed and then they stand next to us for like 30

seconds. Now there are more guys coming and apparently they are started

threatening my friend, Joran, because of course he's also filming.

And remember guys, it's the most, I said it three months ago as well, it's the

most touristic place of Florence.

And guy after guy is demanding you to put your camera away.

The new Europe? You tell me, guys. The new Europe?

I f***ing hate it.

So you work here? I work here. Is this normal?

No, I live here. I'm from the north of Italy.

Okay. It's probably good if you don't let me know that you know these guys

over here. I'm a tour guide.

Yeah? Here is impossible to work right now.

Is it? Because when you have...

bunch of people you work they come from us come from europe i want to be

everywhere yeah because it's beautiful yeah it is it is yeah i keep repeating

it yeah it's amazing i love my job but it's crazy because in the center now

it's impossible all the time i have to talk with them like the guys say okay be

careful but it's not normal yeah it's all europe it's all around europe but

you are doing a great job thank you very much i appreciate you thank you very

much I appreciate you. You're doing a very good job. I wish you guys all the

best here. And we have to fight all together. Exactly. Because this is a

beautiful continent. Exactly.

And we are brother and sister from Europe. And we are all together in that.

All love to you, my love. All love to you. Bye, man. It's good. Yo. So, quick

recap. What just happened? We recognized the guy attacked us before. We

confronted him. We didn't touch him. We confronted him.

We walked out. Out of that cafe, restaurant.

And then another guy started really threatening us.

aggressive towards us police came I showed police the footage of three

months ago about that guy in the white shirt the African guy attacking us

didn't do anything welcome to Italy guys let's move on

okay

guys let's have a shot all together

okay so after a productive day in florence we decided to go

back to casheen area and casheen area is the place three months ago where they

threatened me and my friend leonardo from big pocket firenze with bottles

glass bottles let's see how it changed in the last three months

let's compare it let's go to

but before we do we cannot miss out on the beautiful

street music good guy while we had that

altercation on the Duomo again this guy Albanian professional fighter saw it all

happen he came to us he said if you want any help I'm here for you so a real

legend in my eyes make sure you follow this guy as well i will put his

instagram below the video and uh let's support him a little bit because he's a

real warrior so as promised

cashina at night last time i was here three months ago it

was in the daytime there were only two of us and we were being attacked with

bottles with glass everything you took the bottle why you have to

relax you have to relax you have to relax you have to relax

i am i am you're calling me

Very, very aggressive people here in this park.

The Kashina.

We're not filming you.

We're filming ourselves.

We're filming ourselves, okay?

Okay. Look, he's trying to make a weapon.

Let's return now. Let's see how Kashina, if I pronounce it right, developed in

the last three months.

And of course, right now, we're not with just two guys.

Let's discover.

Some people are chilling here.

Hello, guys. Hey.

Good? All good?

All good?

See here?

Probably... The Dutch guy again?

Yeah, the Dutch guy again, exactly.

The Dutch guy again.

You know why?

Do you know why?

Because you are making this area unsafe here.

That's what you're doing.

And again, guys, I keep repeating it.

We are not here.

Watch his hand. Watch his hand. Yeah. You remember me? Yeah. You remember?

Yeah, I remember. You remember me? You okay?

Yeah. Okay.

I'm helping you.

Okay. The day you fight.

Yeah, okay.

My girlfriend, I don't like this group of babies.

you know why you know why okay i heard so many stories about tourists coming in

let me talk let me talk oh this is my city this is your city yes i cannot i

cannot talk okay okay i just want to let me speak let me speak okay there are so

many tourists coming here okay feeling unsafe okay getting robbed okay because

many people are dealing here

...users here. Okay.

That's why I come here. To paint a complete picture.

Yes. That's it. But not everything people.

I'm not saying everyone. I'm not saying everyone. And not my friend. And again.

Trust me. I'm not here to fight. Okay. I am not here to fight. But this group

maybe is for... Can you imagine that if a woman walks here, she feels exactly

the same as you do now? I don't like this. I know. Okay. Thank you. Okay.

Shake on it.

Clear. Okay.

Okay. Okay.

Yeah, Dutch, exactly.

Have a nice evening.

Hand in the pocket, there. Hand in the pocket.

I just want to film reality.

I want to film reality.

I want to film reality.

I'm not going to take anything.

I want to film nothing.

Okay, good.

Do you want to shake hands? Yes. You want to shake hands? I don't want. You

don't want to shake hands? We're not here to fight again.

I don't care

what

you want.

I just want to film reality.

That's it. Don't talk to me. Don't talk to me as well.

No, no, no, respect him, respect him.

He's a good guy, you're a good guy.

Okay, okay.

Don't throw shit.

You're throwing shit now.

You're a good guy. Again, I respect you. Who threw the bottle? Who? Who?

I just want a name.

No bottles, why throwing bottles?

Why throw?

Did you throw bottles guys?

Did you throw bottles guys?

Okay, breaking

a glass now.

Watch out.

because this is the reality watch out broken bottle here you put

that down now i'll spray the out of you put that down now

Take it! Take it!

Take it!

Thank you, Richie.

What?

Tomorrow?

Why? Why tomorrow?

I'm chill, I'm chill. Okay, okay, okay.

Stand!

Stand!

Okay!

Okay, okay, okay!

Guys to be very clear the only reason

we attack right now is because of the fact that multiple guys were breaking

glass bottles in the hand ready to step that's it

let's

go away

Throwing all kinds of shit right now.

So these kinds of rocks, they were throwing at us.

Imagine the damage it could do, guys. Okay, let's get out.

some of you would say tom the only reason you went there is to provoke

those people with your camera to get your content well it is an opinion but

it's totally false totally incorrect and it doesn't add up that park is simply

especially at night not accessible anymore For families, for children, for

women, without getting robbed, without getting very scared.

And the only reason I, we went there, is to show the reality.

Because if we start accepting that some parts of Europe are simply not

accessible anymore for us Europeans, on a safe matter, what the f*** are we

doing, guys? I think then we are totally lost.

So, just to clarify.

I met two guys, this one and this one. They came up to me out of their cells.

We were walking past the hotel. They came up to me. They said to me, I

respect your videos.

We are not all the same. Tell us, guys. Tell us. Yes, we are not all the same.

This guy.

i saw him i watched this guy every time understand people are not the same but

some people what some people are doing even me i don't appreciate it honestly

some people are doing a good way some people are doing a very powerful europe

we don't come here what do you think when i have a conflict uh 90 of the

times those guys are from outside europe what do you think of that outside europe

yeah like senegalese people african people uh north african people what do

you think of that

For people to come to Europe or... No, no, no. What do you think of the fact

that when I have fights, when I have altercations, mostly it's with people

from Senegal or people from Morocco, people from Algeria.

What do you think of that? What's your opinion on it?

My opinion of that, understand, you are fighting for your country, you are

fighting because you are European citizens.

Brother, brother, brother, brother.

You are a killer.

You are a European citizen. You are fighting for your right. You are

fighting for your right. Me, I appreciate what you are doing.

You know what I appreciate?

Guys coming from other countries, being respectful to me.

No, I was telling him, you know what I respect? No, no, no, listen, let me

talk. You know what I respect? People coming from, where are you from

originally? I'm originally from Gambia. Okay, wait, wait, wait. West Africa.

What I respect, people coming from Gambia, showing respect to me, working.

Probably doing that thing, not being aggressive. That is what I like. Yeah,

and one thing also, you know, like you asked me about people from Morocco and

all those like Algeria.

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. Even Tunisia.

You know, I was finishing at work like 10 o'clock.

That place, I can tell you, many people from Tunisia.

We are all not the same, brother.

No, listen to me. I'm not against you.

No, me too, man. Me too, man. You know what I do, huh? I know what you do, man.

You are walking your life.

I want to say one thing and then we leave it. I don't give a f**k about

your skin color, your skin color. I don't give a f**k about your religion.

I don't give a f**k about my religion.

It's about behavior.

If you behave good, you're a good guy. If you behave bad, you'll be bad.

That's the good thing, what we have to learn.

These people are fighting for bad people. You're not fighting for good

people. You're fighting for bad people. I agree with you, brother, but you have

to think both sides. We are the last people who came to Europe.

Europeans go to Africa first. When we came here, for me, I have to work, man.

That's my dream, man. I came here for work, but I don't come here for

bullshit, man.

This is my friend I met here, but it's a hard work at 925. But I can also imagine

that other guys, no, no, wait, I can also imagine that other guys from, for

example, Gambia, that are fucking it up, it's frustrating for you, because you're

a good guy.

Frustrating, isn't it? Yes, because even me, some videos, if I saw some, because

every time I wake up at 6 o'clock in the morning, I watch news.

If I see some crime from African people, I get crazy. I

say, why those people do this? I can't imagine. Because me, I cannot do it.

Because me, I know myself.

So again, people, I keep repeating it. We should not generalize. Because those

guys here from Gambia are simply good guys. And also for them, it's

frustrating that other African guys are fucking it up.

I keep repeating it.

Don't generalize. It's about behavior.

Bad behavior is a bad guy. Good behavior is a good guy.

That's it.

Finito. So guys, this was Florence and what a trip this was.

Initially, we came here because I wanted to compare the situation now with three

months ago after our last visit. And unfortunately...

Florence is still full of thieves, full of begging gypsy people. And we even

encountered one of the hostile African bracelet seller guys who attacked me

three months ago. In the evening, we decided to go to Cachin, if I pronounce

it right. A very famous, notorious park in Florence. Because according to many

of you, it's a very dangerous spot, especially at night.

And the reason we came there...

It's very important to tell this as well. It's because we wanted to show

reality at night in that park.

There were some good guys. We encountered some good guys. It's also in

the video. But the majority was highly aggressive, throwing bottles, shouting

at us. Yeah, well, the rest is history.

Thanks for watching again.

And as promised, we will see you next week.
