What the what? Your generalizations are way out of line. You can argue about or criticize the ruling but don't use it out of context to push your own agenda.

I don't have an agenda, that's my point. I'm saying it's time for certain people to stop pushing theirs.
OK, I have an anti-agenda agenda.

Maybe you don't, but you are implying that this somehow is a failure of social safety nets.
As someone else in this thread mentioned, the italian justice system is based on civil law, not on precedent (common law) so this ruling doesn't have the repercussions many seem to think. I'm not a lawyer however, so don't quote me on this.
