Italian uproar erupts after Amanda Knox acquittal
The Daily Caller ^ | 10/03/2011 | Stephen Robert Morse

PERUGIA, Italy — It was silent in the courtroom for a long time after Amanda Knox, the now-exonerated American woman, was led into an Italian courtroom for the last time. A presiding judge spoke. We heard not a word from the jury. And then she was declared “innocenta.”

And then anger erupted in the streets outside.

News crews — mostly Italians — alternated between filming and shouting “Vergogna! Vergogna!” (“Shame! Shame!”) for the first five minutes.

A mass of people took up the calls of “Shame!” outside the courthouse, and in a second gathering area nearby.

Italy's Corriere Della Sera newspaper reported that the angry mob on the streets of Perugia also shouted "Bastards!" and "Bought!"

You have a real hard on about Seattle. Did some tranny make you look foolish there?

Does it mean anything to you that a jury just found her innocent?
At some point it seems like a justice system (even in Italy) has the final word

I don’t know nothing. But I’m waiting to learn about the State Dept’s and White House’s part in this “innocence”, not to mention daddy’s money.

(Before you flame your rage, you might want to educate yourself to the fact that there is always State Dept and WH role when it comes to Americans in foreign jails.)

“Guede, 23, allegedly admitted to his cellmate that Amanda and Raffaele were not with him when Meredith Kercher was murdered.”

His cellmate is a convicted murderer,,gonna be there a long long time. With his swearing to that, maybe his momma gets a big screen TV. Maybe he gets cash or dope. Maybe he’s bored and gets fame. Maybe he correctly notices that trips to court to testify are an improved chance to escape. Lots and lots of reasons a guy in prison for a few decades might say he heard something. (Even if he didn’t heard nothing,, )

Isn’t this enough to take Italy off the list of American vacation spots?

I’m of Italian descent and still have relatives in Italy that have told me for decades that Italy has a huge socialist, communist and anti American following. This is nothing new.

Ok, are you Euro or Canadian? Just confess.
So far im “GROW UP”, a “Soviet”, a “troll”, a “noob
“, and “a bad American”, a “bad citizen”, and a “Texan death penalty lover”.

So why won’t you just admit it? Im gonna go out on a limb,, i bet you are German. Disdain for Italian anything, calling me a Soviet rather than a Nazi, defending Amandas whorish behavior, tangental references to authoritarian child rearing, hating the Texas death penalty, and your brownshirt “shout em down” tactics. It all screams German.

Am i right? Im right arent i? You know im right. You hate me because im right. BUt we are buddies. It actually makes me think you arent so bad.

And we see the posters here who the commies can easily persuade. In spite of truth being revealed, they hold tightly to the commie propaganda. Truth is repellent to them.

I don't hate you, and you're not right.

As I said, I am an American born and raised here.

You have some real issues.

well no she’s not guilty and just declared that.

They have their man..Guede or whatever his name is...all the evidence clearly pointed to him. He had a history of using knives, ran from the scene, had previous charges of breaking and entering, was kicked out of the home he had known for his lies and consistant trouble making...etc etc etc....Additionally his bloody handprint on the pillow...he confessed to one of his family members...and other evidence.

When you look at the actual behavior of knox and her guy...it does not fit someone who has committed the type of murder this was....no criminal history....no behavior issues...and their actions from beginning to the end of the investigation do not fit those who commit such crimes. Not to mention there was no evidence which could implicate them at all.....the police went back 16 hours later to try and find something which would support their theory rather than use the clear evidence and who it pointed to to begin with...which was Guede.

Speaking of projection. You were saying something about gay transvestites?

And hmmm, hadn’t considered Boston. All the same prejudices as a German would generally fit. But now you mention some sort of gay stuff,, so i still think German.

Say,,,did you ever go visit independence hall in Boston?

I guess this makes Amanda Knox Italy’s O.J. Simpson.

Sad to say, you’re wasting your time with DesertRhino...he wants Knox raped, murdered, her family bankrupted, drawn and quartered and pissed on.

“You have some real issues.”

Says the crazed name caller, who is twitterpated with Amanda,,,(and is accustomed to everyone bowing to his will)

The original theory of the prosecution ....that this was sex crazed orgy/ murder hints at it being fueled by drugs....was there ever any evidence that Amanda used drugs and if so what kind?

Nope,, just locked in a jail cell. Shoot, i’d even let her have cable.
And again,,, you have a flair for the dramatic, don’t you?

That fits with your last remark,,,(if you know what i mean)

Everybody is a liar except that psycho skank Amanda Knox.
Some freepers have been an embarrassment today. They remind me of the people who cheered when that other killer, OJ Simpson, was acquitted. Anyway, thanks for bringing some sanity to the thread.

FRegards,
LH
