Amanda Knox and Italy

#1 - The Italian justice system is fucked up worse than our justice system.

#2 - The information I have reviewed leads me to believe that the Rudy Guede is a low life criminal who has a record of breaking-in, using a knife and had his DNA, prints and more found at the site of the murder. He even admitted to the murder, first saying a stranger had committed it, then changing his story to say he did it, then including Amanda and Raffaele Sollecito did it.

WTF?

Really. The Italian courts can't figure this shit out? Are they completely fucked as a country? Are the toxic wastes being dumped by the mafia causing them to be completely void of any rational thinking?

As of today their courts ruled that Amanda and Raffaele were guilty of the murder, but they already have the murderer incarcerated.

I'm baffled that this is even happening.

 I'm not as familiar with the details of the case as you are but all the repeated trials for the same offense seems as though it is  less a search for justice but instead simply a vendetta against Knox.

It's amazing that Italians put up with this bullshit. I guess they are in a slumber just like many Americans are about their own country.

Italy has far bigger

Italy has far bigger problems. I doubt this is anything the average Italian cares about considering the mess going on in the political arena.

Let us not forget the millions of tons of toxic waste dumped by the Italian mafia.

One said is saying there is nothing wrong (the mafia people) but the US Navy has told all their personel not to drink or use the water. They must use bottled water for every thing, including cooking and brushing their teeth.

italy and greece: it really


italy and greece: it really boggles the mind to think these countries are the cradles of western civilization, art, and culture. it's almost enough to make one believe the white supremacist claptrap that the "original" greeks and romans were "pure aryans" and that today's population is "miscegenated" and inferior.

"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."
