I realize that Amanda Knox is entitled to her own feelings, interpretation of her experience, and speech. But being that she had to know how painful publicly writing this would be to the Kercher family, could she just not have? Just because you can do something, and that something might be cathartic for you, doesn’t…

I don’t think Knox murdered Kercher but she (Knox) knows the truth and will never give up the ghost as long as she can continue this for years to make a buck.

I’m seriously with you on this. “She can’t be guilty, she’s white and purty.” She was drugged out of her mind, she probably still doesn’t know what she did.

I don’t have much of an inclination either way for guilt or innocence, but from a basic human perspective, this isn’t a good look for Knox. She knows how the family feels, and she’s not a dumb woman - she knows exactly how much stirring of the pot writing this would do. This is just opening up a wound on a grieving…

He was not a drifter. That is a lie publicized by Knox’s PR. He was in fact raised in Italy, and lived in an apartment just down the street from where Sollecito lived. Yes, he was a known burglar and criminal, but he was not a drifter nor a recent immigrant.

If she doesn’t know, she is the dumbest person ever, lying to the police repeatedly. Well, Sollecito too, as he also lied.

I don’t think it is fair to say people are manipulated. I believe in the end, there isn’t enough proof that Rudy Guede acted alone without any help. Yes, the investigation was bungled. Yes, Rudy Guede is definitely guilty. But a lot of the “absolute proof Amanda Knox is innocent” is 100% made-up by her PR company,…

You write this like you’re her bestie and you’re so sick of her being maligned. I’m with her family, she should shut up about it already. It’s not helping ANYONE.

FWIW, I still believe she knows how Meredith was murdered and who did it, and I feel no particular sympathy for Knox.

I really hope she didn’t kill her.... because if she did and is still jumping thru these hoops and bringing the family pain and anguish, that’s a special kind of evil.

Despite the cruel and heartbreaking nature of it the Meredith Kercher case is fascinating in regards to how utterly at opposite ends of the spectrum the view is between the UK-US when the two countries are usually so in sync, largely it seems because of the Press on both sides whipping the case up into an…

Innocent or not, I think it would have been better if she kept this remembrance in a private journal.

I’m assuming this is a Gen Admin show. Even so, if I spent hours waiting in line so I could get a good seat, I’d be pretty pissed if someone told me to go to the back of the room. And if someone paid for more expensive seats up front, telling them to move to the back is so not cool.

Her intentions are good, but I can imagine a whole lot of brown/black people feeling incredibly uncomfortable being asked to come to the front. What if they’re happy standing or sitting where they are? They came to a concert, not be used as a prop.

I don’t see what she is trying to do... are we saying there’s systemic racism at concerts with General Admission?

I can see what she is trying to do, but it’s awkward, and just very easy for right wing publications to make a big fuss out of. It’s well intended but it has sure backfired. You should see the headline that the Dutch right-wing news site geenstijl.nl ran with this story.

This reminds me of one of the more concerning aspects of Chelsea Manning’s defense during her trial, in which she basically claimed that living as a closeted trans woman in the military is what pushed her to do the things she did.

I’m not defending sexual harassment - if you have to still say that - but this idea that you have to call out every single guy that’s ever done anything sleazy is a slippery slope.

I get why people need to view things this way, it helps them cope with their own or their loved ones breakups, but the reality is if two people were together for 22 years it was because they were aiming for a lifetime. No rational human being wants to start afresh after 22 years unless the relationship is…
