Right, if one is going to take their guilt as a presupposition, then it will "seem" as though they were two killers, kinky people, who were drawn to eachother like the month to the flame. But that is only if you already "know" they are guilty......probably their relationship was a bit silly, and based on mutual loneliness and sex....

He was caught watching beastiality films and, after the event, had to be monitored at his boarding school. Are we going to twist that into something else such that it is perfectly normal for Raffaele to be interested in deviant beastiality films?
Amanda could order pizza, and Raffaele didn't know English. Since they couldn't discuss anything due to their language barrier, I'm asking where they found common ground.
You mean some kind of "unusual" sex? :waitasec:

How many 20-year-old boys do you know, otto?
As I've explained before, for decades it was a rite of passage for young men in the Southwest U.S. to drive to Tijuana, Mexico, to see women copulate with donkeys. I don't know why that was a turn-on (maybe because I'm not heterosexual), but it certainly didn't mean that all those young men actually intended to have sex with animals themselves or even to make a habit out of watching others do it.
The "kick" came largely because it was forbidden, I believe.
Personally, I've never looked at bestiality photos, but I admit that when the internet first became available, I looked up the autopsy photos of Nicole Brown Simpson. I haven't looked at anything that graphic since, but I was curious.
In RS case, do we even know what he was looking at? As for his "having to be monitored," that was an administrative decision; without more info, we can't judge for ourselves whether it was necessary.
Bottom line: RS was never accused of actually molesting an animal. Boys look at all sorts of things during adolescence. RS and his computer photos wouldn't even be an issue if the prosecutor weren't trying to make a case for "sex games gone wrong."

BBM: There you go again. There is no evidence that they "couldn't discuss anything." Sorry to be blunt, but you made that up, as has been pointed out to you time and again.
And not that it matters, but I believe "pepperoni" is the same word in English and Italian.

If you are trying to get someone to say their "common ground" was mostly sex, then I'll say it. That appears to have been their bond.
Sure ... Raffaele was a perfectly normal 23 year old that was into bestiality films. This normal behavior was a huge concern for his boarding school and father so they ensured that he was properly monitored until he finished his studies at that institution.

Once again, "was into" is an assumption on your part. You've provided no proof.
What we know is that RS looked at some photos and was punished for doing so. That's all we know from the links I've seen.
We don't even know whether it was a "huge concern" for his father and the school or whether the school simply had standard procedures for dealing with such infractions. The "zero tolerance" polices in some U.S. schools treat kids as serial killers just for bringing plastic army men onto school grounds.
A school bureaucracy is not a court of law. We should use caution in declaring what a bureaucratic decision really means.
Made that up? I think not. Time and again? What time and again?
Are you suggesting that I make things up time and again? Amanda and Raffaele couldn't discuss anything because of the language barrier.
"Raffaele found Meredith to be a nice .. girl, but his lack of English prevented them from having a true conversation. When the foreign girls [Amanda and Meredith] had moved into the cottage, they'd tried speaking only in Italian, just to get in some practice, but they were unable to voice deeper thouhts than "Would you like mozzarella on that panini."
Ref: Candace Dempsey
Their common grounds were sex and drugs.
If you would be so kind as to familiarize yourself with the case, then I would be spared accusations such as: "playing games" and "making things up".
Yes, 3 x yes. The idea that Raffaele is so "abnormal" and that he and Amanda so intensely kinky was born in the mind of middle-aged Giuliano Mignini. The 3 on 1 sex game sounds like the idiotic fantasy of a middle aged Catholic, which Mignini is---not to mention his penchant for occult sex theories. The 3 on 1 obsession seems real to such a dusty old mind---- Not in the young vital minds of youth. When my husband died very young, in 2006, I spent 3 months looking up autopsy and morgue images on the internet. I had to see that this is real, that people wind up that way. Someone looking at my computer would think I was a necrophillac ....:crazy:
well, Otto, you must admit, you tend to see what you want to see. Like that Daily Beast link, which said Knox supporters growled at the press, and you authoritatively said it was Knox family, when it said nothing of the kind.....just sayin.............
"As the drama played out on the stand, Knoxs tense supporters jeered and pointed, trying to intimidate journalists seated in the public viewing area through guttural growls and stern warnings to write the truth.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-...-appeal-homeless-mans-contradictory-testimony
We know that Deanna and Chris were in court. They support Knox. In fact, they, and Amanda's one friend, appeared to form her "supporters". Who do you think Knox's "supporters" referred to?
I think it is clear that that particular journalist, Barbie Nadeau, would clearly have stated "Chris Mellas, stepfather of Amanda Knox, and Deanna Knox, Knox's half-sister, gave guttural growls to press to 'write the truth!""---in truth, she says that it was within the "public viewing area" and we can assume it was some local color seeking attention. I think Knox's family knows when to tone it down............:innocent:
Sure ... the Knox supporters that we have come to know (family and friends) are not the Knox supporters referred to in Nadeau's article. In this particular case, Knox supporters means somebody else, and the Knox supporters that we have come to know were not Knox supporters on that day in court, they were curious bystanders.
Having read Barbie's book, I found her to be fair and balanced in her view. I did not perceive her as having a temperament where she would "love to write" something derogatory about the family. I understood "Knox supporters" to mean the same that it has always meant: Knox's family and friend.
But ... if you prefer to believe that Knox supporters, in this particular instance, meant "some other guy" and the people normally described as Knox supporters were not present ... sure. I will continue to believe that Chris, Deanna and Amanda's one friend were her supporters.
Regardless of the growling, I really liked this article: http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-...-appeal-homeless-mans-contradictory-testimony
Seems pretty clear and concise without the usual bias in most of the articles seen.
Thanks!
