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

What about the Italian boyfriend?

Actually, most Brits think Americans are soft pussies who can't handle a fight.

wtf is the point of citing an article if it doesn't support your conclusion?

The Italians were right, undocumented workers ARE trouble! Fucking Americans!

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 just wish they would stop saying she is a Seattle native. She's from West Seattle, people.

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

I agree wholeheartedly Charles. 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.

There are at least 3 recent Cate Blanchett movies that have more than a little something in common with this murder. Cate Blanchett should be in the movie they make out of this. Charles Mudede should write it.

...and one of the boyfriends in the movie should be played by a horse.....

I agree. 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.

I'm not entirely sure that the Daily Mail necessarily equals the feelings of "Brits"...

One thing I have always admired about Marxists is their ability to read minds on a massive scale.

meanwhile, throughout all of europe, it's the brits who are known as the easiest lay in the western world.

charles, read your posting from start to finish. It makes no sense. You should be fired from the stranger.

Amanda Knox has been called a "dirty Jew" and it's claimed she doesn't flush the toilet after she's done.

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.

I'd hit that.
