Are we sure this isn't a joke?

Edit: So I didn't know who she was, I assumed she was just making a joke that she didn't have to deal with american politics for 4 years because she was studying abroad, and now I looked her up so....woof, that changes the context a little.

I'm Italian and all I'm gonna say is: A girl died because of her actions, and this narcissistic sociopath got away by blaming an innocent man and running to the US. The fact that instead of looking for justice they made her famous and celebrated her is a nice recap of pretty much everything that's wrong with the US.

This piece of shit should shut the fuck up forever. She'd be in jail today if she weren't a US white woman.

It's clearly a joke but it's at least an inappropriate one right now.
Uh, so...I felt like I was missing some context here and I looked her up and....woof.

I was thinking she was just making an offhand joke about how she hasn't had to deal with America's politics because she was studying abroad. I didn't know about the fucking murder. I'll edit my post.

That's a surprisingly coherent take. This woman should, for once, stay quiet and just...don't. Whatever she's thinking or wanting to communicate...don't.

That is quite terrible thing to say. Innocent or not (and I followed the trial, and there are a lot to doubt here), people suffered for the loss of the young Meredith. She could have avoided that tweet.

'Foxy Knoxxy' just couldn't shut the fuck up, eh?

Didn't a black guy end up taking the full rap for this?

Shit tweet, but as someone who's not from Italy and only watched the documentary, the venom in this thread is surprising. The smear job the media did on her was something else. Awful trial too.

I may be biased because I'm Italian and our media have always heavily suggested that she's guilty but yeah, I don't have many doubts about it.
It's fascinating how biased media coverage works. The narrative here in North America framed the situation such that it seemed like a grossly incompetent Italian police force were framing her. Which was made a lot more believable after the whole witch hunt and persecution of those Italian geologists after that earthquake. Incidentally, they completely ignored or downplayed her false accusation against Patrick Lumumba.

Feel free to actually research the trial, acquittal, and subsequent lawsuits and investigations settled against the Italian authorities.
Dude, I have followed the trial, read a lot of articles and watched a lot of documentaries about it... saying that it was a sham is a blatant lie. If you wanna say something so distant from reality, you have to show us some receipts.

You have a point, but it's 3 AM here and the only thing I have enough energy for at this point is to spam refresh at election results until my body shuts down.
