Download Das kurze Leben des Giuseppe M.: Ein Opfer von Jugendgewalt by Roswitha Quadflieg PDF

By Roswitha Quadflieg

Ein authentischer, genauer Blick in die Jugendszene von heute: Träume, Wünsche, Enttäuschungen und immer wieder Aggression …

Fast jeder junge Mann ist auf dem nächtlichen Heimweg in der U-Bahn oder zu Fuß auf der Straße schon mal von einer Gruppe anderer Jugendlicher angerempelt, angepöbelt oder aggressiv angemacht worden. Wenn er sich ­diese Menschen ansieht, vielleicht stehenbleibt, heißt es: »Was guckst du so, adjust, was once willst du?« - und das ist oft der Auftakt von brutaler Gewalt. Alltag in Großstädten...
Als die Autorin Roswitha Quadflieg nach Berlin zog, las sie in der Zeitung von Giuseppe Marcone, 23, Sohn einer bulgarisch-griechischen Mutter und eines italienischen Vaters - und dessen Geschichte ließ sie nicht mehr los: Er will mit seinem Freund an einem frühen Samstagmorgen mit der U-Bahn nach Hause fahren. Auf dem Bahnsteig werden sie angepöbelt, als sie den U-Bahnsteig wieder verlassen wollen, verfolgt. Giuseppe wird geschlagen, rennt auf die Straße, wird von einem automobile erfasst und gegen einen Ampelmast geschleudert - er stirbt.
In Gesprächen mit der Familie, mit Freundinnen, Freunden und ehemaligen Lehrern, mit Zitaten aus Vernehmungsprotokollen, Zeugen- und Anwaltsäußerungen sowie dem Gerichtsurteil (die angeklagten Jugendlichen äußern sich nur über ihre Anwälte, auch deren Familie verweigert sich einem Gespräch) entsteht das genaue und exemplarische Bild eines Gewaltakts und seines Opfers, das Bild vom Leben eines jungen Mannes mit all seinen Sehnsüchten, Fehlern, Wider­sprüchen und Eigenarten - ein Leben, das sinnlos und abrupt beendet wurde.
