Deceases, three

Three completely different personalities have passed away this week.

Donald Neilson, the Black Panther, died on Sunday in a hospital outside Norwich from pneumonia. He was 75. His crime history starts as a burglar (400 homes raided without being caught); then he became a bank robber and ended up as a savage killer. He was jailed for life in 1976 in the Norwich prison. A year before, he had kidnapped and killed in Highley (Shropshire, near Birmingham) a 17-year-old woman, Lesley Whittle, who was to inherit the equivalent today to more than 650,000 pounds after her rich father's death. Ian Hepburn, a former Sun reporter says: "His trial was horrifying. He took a perverse delight in describing things in the most chilling way. He said a cheese wire around Lesley's neck was a saw, not a garrote -then sawed the witness box with it (...). He [was] the most evil man I laid eyes on in more than 40 years of reporting crime".

Neilson was more than a villain himself; and so, Vaclav Havel was more than a hero. He was also 75 when he also died last Sunday. Havel was a true hero and everything said will never be enough, never praised enough.

Someone has underlined the real fight in Havel's life and career: the search and conquest for truth. Fortunately or unfortunately, this very same week we have witnessed the very same example of the other side of the coin, that against which Havel fought his entire life: the power of falsehood. "Falsehood is the foremost of all forces that drive the world", said Revel. The show-off of tears in public scam from North Korea after the death of Kim-Jong-il, 69, cannot be more revealing and disgusting. Destiny has played again one of its tricks and deployed a brilliant and free-of-charge History lesson... Now, beware, the son will make his father good: deep revulsion what I felt watching the face of the kid Kim-Jong-un, ice-cold and granitic. Nothing good can come out from this face... . Brandy and rock-and-roll, and the pleasures of life, tend to make blood-thristy dictators more lay-back at some point. But the boy, this boy, is he even 18? I just hope he likes the wii... . He is the only one who is understood to cry, but does not cry... If the devil is ever to play violin again with Charlie Daniels, he will have the nauseous face of Kim Jong-un before his father's corpse. Oh, my God!
