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!"

As I have no German heritage, you’re simply continuing in your quest to be the most idiotic poster on this thread.

As a chick, im sure you don’t know how to smoke out Germans in American uniforms. You ask em questions that trip em up,,, like about Boston winning worlds series last year.

If the MP agreed and it was in the 1940s. You knew you had a Kraut on your hands. Or for that matter, the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, etc etc,,,see?

I think you might be right from the posts I’ve since seen.

It is pretty amazing when you read about how profilers look for certain behaviors common to those who commit murders...both before and after the crimes. In this case it was a brutal murder and rape of the victim...lots of blood and messy.

Guede hung around for a time before fleeing, whcih is why he covered the body up...he couldn’t look at the gruesome sight. During his trial he repeatededly said there was “just so much blood everywhere”...which of course was still bothering him even then.

Also the knife they tried to claim had Knox’s DNA on it was not the weapon...it didn’t fit the knife wounds even close. It was not the weapon used. An dinteresting that Guede was known to carry knifes.

Ok,,,look kid, it’s all outta hand between me and you. I was raised in a different world than you. And i guess i kinda am a noob.
When i was young, women like Amanda were not respected a single bit. I guess it really isnt right, but it’s hard to lose old ways of thinking.

You were raised by animals. You’ve proven it on this thread.

I have no idea about the supposed evidence that came from the corrupt prosecutor. I haven’t been following the case.

Now it’s over and the killer is/has been in jail and his DNA was all over the victim inside/outside. The truth that was there all the time was finally allowed to be revealed because Rafael’s father hired investigators to get to the truth for this appeal. So the judges/court finally got to hear the real story and it was a slam dunk - both innocent!

Well, in a sense, yeah, i guess i was raised by animals. I never knew my parents, and only went to school up to 9th grade. The peoople i lived with meant well i guess, but in those days, people didn’t educate kids like me. We were expected to help out, mouths to feed and all.
It wasn’t until later in life that i learned to read very good.
And to be honest, this kind of exchange is such a success for me that i guess i go too far sometimes.

Im feeling pretty bad about this.

No mister, im really not a scumbag. I’m just an old man, with a small life. I guess i get causght up in it all sometimes, the computer feels like an outlet.

I try to relive my glory days too much. Communicating in the written word is so exciting that i lose the big picture. To be honest, im not proud of everything i say, but im so proud to be about to type so good, and to get my thoughts down, and to use a computer on the internet,,,,

Well, im glad you’ll never have to have this feeling, but i feel 10 feet tall.
