N. Carrera, What you are asking belongs to a different world, not this world. I am surprised that you do not understand the problem, even though you are from that area. The problem is cultural incompability between foreigners, especially Americans and Poles, and the people from the Mediterranean! This incompability causes that a Pole, or American, is utterly unprepared how to react, when insulted or threatened in any way! The people from Cyprus, or Italy, start "working on you" soon you come into their orbit of influence! They will yell at you because they know, that in your country this degrades. They will bring you psychologically down in an instant. Then, they will repeat the same a hundred or thousand times ... until you leave, feeling less than a person, castrated! These rotten snakes win because no one has challenged their rotten culture for thousans of years. I tried ... but even the police refused to act when I asked them. I had to tell the Italian carabinieri that they lacked balls. I told them that several times, with words and gestures. Only then, did they act ... but sided with the Italian bar owner. This case will end in the same way lest the government of Poland files a lawsuit to defend this dead Pole!

There is no question in my mind that the Pole was brutally murdered! I know the cowardly race of the Mediterranean! If they are not Mafia, they are treacherous like the Mafia! I have studied this people for almost six years. They always carry a weapon of some kind. They always provoke you to anger, so that you try to hit them. But they are prepared. They always are accompanied by a witness ... and you are always guilty! First, they insult you by throwing water at you. Then, they come out always standing against a wall that is made of Italian type finishing which is very rough. If you throw a blow, they move and you destroy your fist. Then they attack you with some sharp object. They always have at least three witnesses, and make sure that you are alone. People who go to the Mediterranean, Cyprus, Italy, etc. must know what they are in store for! I was poisoned to the brink of death two times in six years. A woman fell as I was passing by at nigh on Metro steps, and then her compagnion accused me of pushing her and "destroying her expensive fur." He wanted money, which of course he didn't got. I witnessed Poles either shot dead, working as slaves in tomato harvest, or simply dead from hunger in Aosta, and so on. The Polish embassy does not do enough, even though I had repeatedly asked their help. One Pole died sitting in the woods near Anzio. The foreigner must be prepared, better be!

It's a sad state of affairs when someone dies for such a trifling little incident as a dog! One life ended and another ruined.

Unfortunately I can only see these things occurring more frequently - often as a result of a misunderstanding, a slight or plain ignorance.

You may not like it but to many Cypriots dogs are seen as unclean and to have it in a restaurant would cause offence - it does not matter if dogs are taken into restaurants in Paris or where-ever, you just have to go with the flow with however they do things in one country or another and show some respect with the way you behave and act towards individuals of those countries as they often react totally different from the way someone from your own contry of origin reacts.

You should try taking a dog into a restaurant in Turkey or other middle eastern countries and see how they react. For god's sake the only dogs you could take into a bar or restaurant in England are guide dogs and even those individuals are given a hard time by the owners especially if they are asian or chinese.

Show some respect and you get it back - unfortuantely all I ever see on this site is typical stereotypical and racial slants all the time -it most surely make you feel good to rubbish an entire country on the actions of an individual.

Iv, so sorry, so sorry that he had to fall victim to this scrupulous land..

True about the comment on how RIK portrays foreigners; it still uses derogatory racist terminology that unfortunately reflects the nature of Cypriot society at the moment.

Sadly this is another tragic case that is happening all too often.

The crime has already happened... but what annoys me the most is how RIK (CyBC) would constantly refer to the poor dead boy as 'o allodapos' or 'o xenos', as were the people that were being interviewed.

What difference does it make that the murdered boy was a foreigner or alien? What matters is that the other beast killed him and must be severely punished for it. An example needs to be set by the judiciary and any sentence should include a racially motivated uplift on the time the beast must stay in jail.

Incidentally, I speak Greek but pretend not to most of the time just to hear the xenophobic verbal diarrhoea that comes out of Cypriots mouth, and it is always priceless then insulting them in Greek :)

I think this is because Cypriot started to feel threaten by the foreingers and the so called government doesn't do anything about it people are reacting.
I remember my neighbor had a dog barking day and night and the police wouldn't do anything about it so i did.

Shit happens. I can realize, why someone can do such a terrible thing? In the name of what? Dog in the pub? He should call for police, and let them do their job.
End of story. Young guy is dead, and nobody can turn back time.
