When I visited Europe years ago, I remember the machine-gun toting police on Spanish streets and in the Frankfort Germany airport telling you to keep moving with the swing of his gun. The filthy living conditions and couples having sex on their balconies in Naples, Italy. The terrorist bombing in Italy of a place I had frequently visited just a few years earlier, killing two Americans. The 1990's neo-Nazi's threats sprayed on the sidewalk walls while at the same time Germany's traffic cameras could catch you with running a light and give you a huge fine and jail. Later, when I visited the Ukraine, I saw the local police threatening to shoot everyone in our van if there wasn't an extortion paid by our driver.

Greece's starving population and rising crime thanks to their EU government. Last year's school shootings with threats of racism and immigration in EU France.

Oh yea, your European laws and lifestyle are so far ahead of us. I am so happy to read that you have not visited us in awhile. Please don't change your ways.

Yes, they have extremely strict gun control laws, or more worse, completely ban on guns, ridiculously high rent, more difficult to buy a house, pay high taxes, stringent driving laws and complicated government system.

If anyone say poverty is problem in US, so it is problem in Europe too, also they got crimes and gangs problem too.

I don't think that I want live in Europe, so I love North America, especially US and Canada.

Also, in US, some states can be very different culture, different laws, different styles.

TinCan how far would I have to walk in most US cities to find real poverty? Poverty on a scale rarely seen in Europe. The Ukraine and Russia have always had problems with corrupt police. I believe Moscow now has a tourist police who watch out for bent police who are trying to extort money.

The police for the most part are very good. I have never had problems with them in either Germany or Spain. Mexico and Brazil would have to be the scariest places I have seen for police.

Europe is wonderful. So many cultures and so many differences within a few hundred miles. The US you visit the big cities and then after that it all starts feeling much the same. It lacks diversity but that is what you USAnians are comfortable with. Everything just like it is at home.

First, have you went to Greece, Spain and Italy, and they have higher unemployment rate than in US.

For poverty - US and Europe are comparative with worse in some area like Eastern Europe has higher poverty rate, so southern states in US have higher poverty rate.
Poverty threshold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lack of culture, diversity? I don't think. I had visit different cities over US so NYC and Atlanta are not same, even LA and Atlanta are not same too. In southern states, we have southern culture so that's different from northern states or midwestern states.
 
Despite an Italian court’s findings again, which call for Knox to be imprisoned for 28 years, a man named Rudy Guede went to trial for the same murder after a large amount of forensic evidence tied him to the crime scene. He was convicted and sentenced to 30 years in jail. In addition to the strong DNA evidence against Guede, he confessed to his cell mate that he committed Kercher’s murder. His sentence has since been reduced to 16 years in jail. Other than that everyone talks about Amanda but you only see Raphelle's name in connecting to. Is he less news worthy, gossip worthy, or whatever or what?

I don't think the Italian public have got behind Raffaele in quite the same way the US has made Amanda into a celebrity.

Yes one guy already found guilty of the actual murder so why would the prosecutors go after two other people? It would be very easy to close the case. Surely they feel the other two were not entirely innocent. Maybe what they thought would be a sexual assault and went along with it only it became that much worse and they were powerless to intervene. No doubt pressure was put on Amanda and yes maybe she too had been assaulted. None of it looks to be a safe environment for young women to have been in.

Really!?!?!?!?...... [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Honor-Bound-Journey-Hell-Amanda/dp/1451696396]Honor Bound: My Journey to Hell and Back with Amanda Knox: Raffaele Sollecito, Andrew Gumbel: 9781451696394: Amazon.com: Books[/ame]
 
There is no case.

This situation makes a case for finding out what really goes on in Perugia, Italy. There is in a lot of places an intricate web of corruption built around the University District. College kids are a huge source of income.

Guede very well could have simply been a criminal employee of the bar owner(the guy she supposedly falsely accused) or whoever owns the bar owner. "That someone" is the real culprit. Whoever owns the bar owner pays the police. Prosecutors are the true key to how corruption is maintained; just try and track that payment plan.

There is the sad but true possiblilty Amanda simply turned down a proposition from "that someone" who does not allow no to go unpunished. Roommate dies. Don't ever turn down the MAN. Got the message? Whoever the Man is he has stroke with the court system.

Anyone who thinks places cannot work that way or don't work that way has not been alive very long. Or has lead a sheltered existence. It is time for the US to stick their nose into this hard.

Alessandro Nencini is in deep trouble unless his Italian mafia protect him. :lol:

Amanda Knox can sue Alessandro for defamation.

US do not believe double jeopardy, Knox is all safe in North America, but if she want to travel to another country which have strong political ally with Italy, can this country send her to Italy instead of US?

While you may or may not like Amanda Knox the case against her is totally absurd. I have read lots of allegations based on people looking at her pictures and reading slanted news.
I think her biggest problem is that no one stepped in right in the beginning to help. Why that is and how that is has a lot to do with being in a foreign country and not speaking the language. Also not having a real contact there that could have waded in there and made sure she did not get done to just like she got done to.
The cesspool of lawyers and judiciary to be found anywhere and how well the system works for you has more to do with who you are and who you know than real justice.
