Reply #17: I know you've followed this case far more than I have, however, I have to say --

[Whats_Happening]

1) As you are "PNW" mom (pacific north west) I suspect that at least part of your motivation for defending Knox is the fact that she is a fellow local countrywoman to you.

2) Italy is part of western Europe. Do they have problems with their justice system? Sure; every nation does, but I really don't believe that their problems are any worse than ours. I will trust the decision of an Italian court as much as I would trust the decision of any American court.

3) When kids go abroad on boondoggles, they go a little crazy. For most of them, it just leads to a little extra drinking and fucking. Could it lead some of them to violence? Of course it can.

4) Kids are fucked up these days. It's not really their fault - if I had grown up with texting and sexting and the whole electronically malevolent bubble they grow up in, I'd probably be even more fucked up than I am - but they are fucked up. And there are sociopathic women as well as men. I do NOT have a hard time believing that cartwheeling "Foxy Knoxy" is just such a type.






Sorry, but if I was in court in a foreign country accused of murder, I don't think I would look like I was enjoying the attention so much.
