Contrasting The Dishonest, Demonizing Knox With The Real Victim And Victim Advocate Elizabeth Smart
Posted by Peter Quennell
1. Amanda Knox
Read here for the warnings Roanoke College management received.
We are told none of that was ever shared. College management did their students no favors at all by lying by omission about Knox.
College management KNEW that Knox lies on an epic scale and has no real respect for truth. They KNEW the case against Knox was actually one of exceptional strength. They KNEW Knox is a felon for life for framing an innocent man and that she rightly served three years.
They KNEW Knox in Perugia had been heavily on drugs. They KNEW she was not an exchange student and was a growing nuisance to those around. They KNEW that Knox demonizes Italy and its fine, fair justice system and staff, and that she encourages bigotry and dangerous hate.
They KNEW the Supreme Court’s final verdict was provably bent and the Ndrangheta played some role.
Wrongly demonizing police and courts, and wrongly demonizing foreigners, are very dangerous games which if absorbed as lifetime lessons will cause serious psychological and social disarray.
WHY were fee-paying Roanoke students never provided by management with this reality check?
2. Elizabeth Smart
The only other American in victim mode so prominently making herself available for speakers gigs is the REAL victim Elizabeth Smart.
She is the Mormon girl abducted from her Salt Lake City home when she was 14 by a fundamentalist pair. Although some do believe she may have been kidnapped willingly to get out of a suffocatingly regimented home, she has won just about everybody over, because she is so cool, frank, funny, self-effacing, and genuinely nice.
And because she has chosen a really noble cause, instead of a divisive one.
To general admiration, she is trying to slow child kidnappings and kidnapping-deaths, which are at epidemic levels not least in Utah where the polygamists want second, third and fourth wives and are in the habit of helping themselves.
She has systematized her advice - a number of pointers for kidnap victims to help them come out alive, and a number of pointers for parents, police and political leaders which end up in law and handbooks and training and are filling a real void. She unquestionably is saving lives.
3. Bottom Line
In contrast, what is Knox’s cause? Fanning bigotry and trashing Italy and Italian justice through extensive lies? Mischaracterizing why she is a convicted felon who served three years and nefariously escaped much worse? Demonizing hundreds while seeking to make herself a saint?
So. To best meet their students’ lifetime needs, out of these two, who was it Roanoke College management chooses to expose them to? Really? Amanda Knox?!?!

“An American Student Kills 62 Years Old Retired Bankteller”

Corriere reports that this crime took place yesterday.
The American student was under the effect of psychotic drugs. He was wandering through the streets of Florence. He tried to force entry through a garage door while the victim was in the process of locking it.
The student attacked the retired bankteller and cut his throat with a mirror sliver. He covered the body with a piece of cloth and then left.
Police found him sitting on a bench nearby, a few hours after the murder was discovered. He has already confessed the murder.

Destructive Partying Of American Kids Leaving Italians Seriously Baffled
Posted by Fiori
George Lesser reports on a wild student scene. Click above to read his report
1) One incident: a callous and unexplainable death
In a bizarre incident, criminal charges have been filed against an American student in Florence. According to the police, she and a friend tried to trespass onto the grounds of a large, private villa.
A guard tried to stop them. There was a scuffle, and the friend received a knife wound in the leg. There was no firm indication whose knife it was.
The student and her friend walked a short distance to a public bench. He laid down, and she sat beside him. He slowly bled to death, with her sitting beside him with an unused cell phone.
Apparently she made no effort to help him, and she now claims she was so drunk she cannot remember anything.
The Italian authorities don’t know how to deal with her. Her inability to aid in her own defense is something they have not experienced.
2) And one insight into what might be going on:
A lawyer in Florence for one American college is asked about the problem.
The answer: “You think alcohol is the problem? I’ll tell you what the real problem is. They’re all on [prescription medications].
They’re all on Ritalin, or lithium, or anti-depressants, and they stop taking them, or they take them erratically.”
[And] they neglect to follow up on their referrals to local psychiatrists, raising liability concerns.
Smartening up over liability concerns? Yes, that might save some American parents some very big bucks.
And have them riding herd on behavior….
