Further proof that reading secondary literature is for criminals.>>25253480YOU VILL READ ZE PRIMARY SOURCES

>>25253472Europeans bitch about gypsies all the time but this shows that even if they're shitty humans, they're still human. (I'm assuming it was a gypsie because that's who euros seem to think is the most criminal element in their countries, them or arabs)If this has been Nigger Americanus, the only reason he'd have reached for a book on the table is to beat the elderly homeowner to death with it.

>>25253525It's someone from Naples, not a gypsy or an African or an Arab. They all have completely different features and behavior.Arabs would steal but also descecrate the house, they are primarily moved by hatred and resentment. Africans would just steal and leave, they are neutral and see it as just a means to an end. Gypsies would be more systemic, and while burglary isn't really their modus operandi if they would engage in it they would go in with a very specific plan and enact it professionally.Someone from southern Italy however (most likely Naples) would be a criminal and thief but would still be able to appreciate literature. They are cultural thiefs like the raiding culture of the Vikings but can still appreciate culture and literature when they see it.I sadly lived too much throughout Europe to know the very specific flavors of crime and criminal mindset.
