They believe we are idiots and we have no brains and therefore we cannot think. And then us... I wonder what can we do? We live in times of hidden dictatorship and although we THINK they allows us to think we in fact are forbidden to any of those things. Because we know what is right and wrong and despite that we have absolutely no saying on anything.Roula Markakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253885194984093802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548968653078517961.post-34725340133352011382011-10-05T09:36:20.281+02:002011-10-05T09:36:20.281+02:00You know what, Roula, your impression is right. Ma...You know what, Roula, your impression is right. Many Italians believe that Amanda's release is due to all the media and political pressures. There was a huge campaign about her innocence, family members have played a decisive role from America. So many cry and feel the shame that in this case Italian justice has been servant of the United States. Hilary Clinton herself intervened in favor of Amanda. <br />I share your views on the authority of Italy. This second appeal was based on results of DNA, which were completely different and my doubt remains strong. The proof key is a hook of the victim's bra. The second time around it was analyzed and didn't contain fingertips anymore. Too long time had passed, of course. So I wonder how can you base your evidence on the second test, while the first result spoke clear. <br />In addition, I've a terrible doubt about Amanda's behaviour. Okay, she was manipulated and forced to speak by police on those first days when she was heard by police. I can understand the lies she told. But the fact she went shopping as nothing happened 2 days after her friend was brutally killed leaves me baffled. If I were a parent and knew a disturbing thing like that, I would ask a lot of things to my daughter! Because, hey, being beautiful doesn't mean you're good too!Eldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119379554150902045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548968653078517961.post-16768896002553838682011-10-04T23:00:53.024+02:002011-10-04T23:00:53.024+02:00I have been tracking this case a long time now and...I have been tracking this case a long time now and I am really baffled. I was shocked to read about the crime and was glad they had caught the people responsible-or at least the ones they thought they were responsible. Today I read about the acquittal of Knox and her then boyfriend. I have to tell you I was surprised....<br />You may not follow the case you you are in a position to know and sense more since you live there and after reading your post I also think if this is a "game" Italy had to play....<br />One thing is for sure. Americans cannot doubt the safety of Italy. I would advise them to open their eyes and see what happens in their home before they start "shooting" Italy. My mumble opinion of course....<br />As for me, I am coming again and again and again so have this Margerita ready! :-)Roula Markakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253885194984093802noreply@blogger.com
