Slog - Comments on The British Thinking http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/11/the_british_thinking The body of slain student Meredith Kercher was returned to Britain on Sunday, despite a request for a second post-mortem from defense lawyers. Seattle native Amanda Knox, who was Kercher's roommate; Knox's boyfriend Raffaele Sollecito; and Diya "Patrick" Lumumba, a 37-year-old Congolese immigrant who owned the bar where Kercher worked, have been detained as suspects in the Nov. 1 slaying. We know what the Brits are thinking: Knox (the American hussy) is amoral to the core and (like the culture that made her) has the ability to tolerate extreme levels of violence. That African beast? Nothing to an American babe....

It's true! I read about it in one of Jonathan Swift's essays.

Overseas, they very well might spin this as a "loose American girl" type thing, a lot of the world - Italy especially - thinks it's true... but could you imagine how American media would be spinning it had it happened in this country, with an undocumented worker involved?

I mean obviously she would be. But they need to say it.

This whole thing is so full of tabloid storytelling it's not even worth following... except that it's so international. There will be endless miscommunication and distorting of the facts such that it can't help but be read as you have outlined.

Cate Blanchett should be in the movie they make out of this. Charles Mudede should write it.

I also think it that they take a certain delight in the notion of that dark inner core hiding beneath a cheerful, extroverted all-American girl. They can't stand that shit.

It's anti-semitic to mention the religion of this murderess. Her being Jewish has nothing do do with her perverted sexuality or her violent actions. Judaism is a religion of righteousness.

My guess is some perverted Christian forced Amanda Knox into this crime. Christianity always creates sex perverts.
