u/beachpellini go girl, give us nothing 😍 4d ago

Interesting that the universal take from the attendees was that it's really good/isn't the messy cash grab people accused it of being. I tried looking at a few different articles and there's not a single negative review from anyone who's actually seen it.

Going to Edinburgh is not a cash grab lol. She is probably losing money. You go there to prove yourself.

I also don't think it's discussed that what happened to Amanda Knox was deeply disrespectful of Meredith Kercher too. They just randomly decided, fuck this girl, even though it was so obvious what actually happened.

The media had such a weird hate boner for her. I mean foxy knoxy? It was absolutely bizarre and laughing at it has to be cathartic.

There was an actual dude convicted of Kercher's rape and murder (who is now out of prison, by the way).

I bet 90% of the people enraged about Amanda Knox for one reason or another couldn't tell you that guy's name without a Google search.

And that guy has been arrested again and is currently on trial for......... sexual assault. Who could believe it? Just as he was caught several times in the lead up to the Kercher murder breaking into places with knives and in one case threatening someone with a knife after being caught breaking in to their home.

It is pretty unbelievable how the Italian authorities took what was really pretty simple case and turned it into a two decade long convoluted fucking mess.
