Death in Perugia

EVEN THOUGH HER FRIENDS IN SEATTLE PAINT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PICTURE OF THIS GIRL, REST ASSURED THAT LOOKS CAN TRULY BE DECIEVING, ONE LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF HER AND HERE BOYFRIEND TOGETHER WILL TELL YOU ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW, HE LOOKS DOWN AND SHE GLARES AT THE CAMERA, SCARY IN A WAY, MOMMAS GIRL IS ALL GROWN UP NOW.

i hope for understanding this planet in perils. we are society, should we not hold some sense of responsibility. look around there is distruction and ignorance all around us. we are too busy to notice this or that until it ends up on our doorstep.... well it's too close now... and still we continue as if it is all meant to be. we are all responsible for this.. we are society.

yep she did it alright

This is a very scary world in which we live.

simply a sad story , sex can be a very dangerous game, especially with numbers, it can change people into aggressive animals instead of rational thinking human beings, if they all were into this kind of sex and she wasn't then she didn't have much of a chance, i'm sure they went further than they anticipated but they lost all form of reason once they all agreed to hurt this unfortunate soul

It is horrible thought that a female would do this to a fellow female. Her friends from Seattle claim she is a nice geeky gir.l. They don't know her anymore. And she is a whole different perverted person. I hope to gets life in prison for what she and the others did.

Why are people blaming TV and media for everything? Heinous murders have occurred since the beginning of time. We all grew up with TV and most of us could not conceive of holding someone down and slitting their throat to add "excitement" to our sex lives. Please put this crime into perspective. These are sick individuals we are dealing with.

i think she had something to do with it or she did it or she knows who did it.

In most societies (most countries I am familiar with) blaming is a great way to avoide the truth. It is quite funny to know that if we all could be raised in quality circumstances (ie, balanced families, behaviourial training, life planning using well founded principles such as honesty, truth, love, health, respect, and so on that in the long run we probably could reduce or even remove the need for police, lawyers, accountants, jails, armies and other industries we have today. But that is too difficult, isint it. most people would lose their job! So, for the survival of the human race, keep going as we are so we can create more jobs for police and prisons....

i think she did it

simply a sad story , sex can sometimes get out of ones control and the mind changes to an aggressive animal instead of a rational thinking human being, if i'm reading this story correctly, i think it went much further than they anticipated but if they all agreed to hurt her then unfortunately she didn't have a chance.They were probably all into aggressive sex and this poor girl suffered their consequenses.

I agree with those that feel that the media and what they air contribute to ALOT of where our children get some of their desensitation. Children learn from what they see, hear, and experience. And they WONDER why their precious child all of a sudden spurts out some of the trash they are seeing and hearing on television! That television is being used as a BABYSITTER by alot of parents who do not seem to realize that their children are slowly learning day by day......that this is OBVIOUSLY how it is in life! That's a scary thought! If we continue to allow our children to THINK....that this "ANYTHING GOES LIFE"......lifestyle is the norm....then don't expect them to be any other way. If they never watched television at all.....then they'd learn it from the MAJORITY of kids who DO! And if it isn't that.....they'll learn from what they see AT HOME! If you have parents who do nothing but fight to solve their problems.....that's how that child will think you take care of problems! A parent HAS to teach that child right from wrong....and that's STILL no guarantee that all will be just PEACHY when they get out on their own. Life is HARD.....our children today have MORE to contend with than even "I" did. This world is rapidly changing. While we're gaining technology by leaps and bounds.....the morals and family ties are taking the back seat. We've become a materialistic society where family and principals are disappearing. That's truly sad. We're going to have a society of young people who have hearts that are crusted over that will lack being able to feel anything meaningful. You have babies having babies....and then most of the grandparents end up raising the children who have their OWN needs to be met in their old age. And we wonder why our children are troubled? They can't learn what they don't experience, see or hear. I'm not saying that ALL parents have faltered by no stretch of the means.....but you know how the old saying goes......the majority rules. All we can do is teach our children right from wrong and set the example. And control what you can AT HOME until they get of age......and THEN still be there for them in their lifes struggles to help. We all struggle and want the best for our kids......but it takes effort to do that.

YOU CANNOT BLAME SOCIETY, THAT IS LIKE BLAMING BUGS BUNNY AND TOM AND JERRY. WE EACH CHOOSE ARE OWN ACTIONS WE ARE IN CONTROL OF OURSELVES NO ONE ELSE... AGAIN, I PRAY FOR THE VICTIM AND HER FAMILY!!!!!

we are still breathing, why? why is it that this young girl isn't. it could have nothing to do with us, right? i cannot honestly say this. we are to blame, we did this, our society is the culprit and whether or not we want to look at it, it is a part of each and every one of us. look around... what do you see, come on, we see the evil and the ignorance.. and we allow it to be... why, because we cant be bothered.. but this bothers me and it will get worst.... God Save Us.. all...

Am I the only one who is reminded of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka? Just like Homolka, she had absolutely no indications of rule breaking (other than minor slaps on the wrists) prior to extreme acts. I have a feeling that despite her villification, that it's not just Knox, but her combination with Sollecito that brought this about. For those who don't know Bernardo and Homolka were the "Ken and Barbie" serial killers in Canada in the early 1990s. I have no doubt that if they hadn't been caught after the death of Kercher, Knox and Sollecito would have repeated this ritual, perhaps escalating (I suppose that's possible). To what extent, if any, Lumumba is involved and why, I don't know. What I'm saying is I don't think that this was imagined solely by Knox herself, nor do I think Sollecito was a puppet on a string helplessly waiting for this vixen to tell him what to do. Men who commit sexually greivous crimes like these are rarely complacent types who do as their girlfriends command, and the same goes for Lumumba, if the evidence shows he was indeed involved. That does not mean that I think Knox is innocent in anyway. She was obviously fully involved in the planning and execution of these crimes and should be punished...and there is definitely something wrong with her. I just saw a paralell in their relationships and thought I would point it out.
