Amanda Knox is back on trial in Italy, "and this is a good thing," she wrote in October in explaining what was to come. Knox was convicted of slander for wrongly accusing the owner of a bar where she worked part-time of murdering roommate Meredith Kercher in Italy in 2007. That defamation conviction is the only remaining "legal stain" against her, reports the AP. She asked for it to be thrown out based on a years-old ruling by the European Court of Human Rights that the interrogation in which she pointed a finger at Patrick Lumumba occurred without a lawyer present—and with Italian police cautioning her that getting one would only make her situation worse, reports the Independent. Italy's top court ordered a retrial of the slander conviction in October.

Recall that this created much discussion on the old LP with so many on her side. Just about nobody gave a fkkk about her poor victim who was forced to move to Poland and only now has recovered from the terrible ordeal he endured thanks to her.

Have you seen ads like this recently?





I've seen this and similar ads around and have come across a channel on youtube where people openly declare themselves as commies. I also understand some young people both in the US and abroad do the same.

Some say its reactionaries who are promoting all this:

I hope they’re ready for more, because the communists are growing in number around the world. Workers and youth are drawing increasingly radical conclusions as they fall deeper into poverty, the rich get richer, the world burns around them, and capitalism proves itself incapable of moving society forward or providing solutions to any our most pressing problems. Let the ruling classes tremble.


It could well be that it is the ultra right promoting this as it causes more trouble for all and fund raising/profiting for them.

This goes under strange because redneck motorheads are a strange lot.
This is the car my g-son and son have been putting together for the g-son
to go smash into a heap in tomorrow's demolition derby. Lotta work, time,
and money goes into that. Makes perfect sense, right?

Brings back memories of ABC's Wide World of Sports. Seemed like they had a demolition derby on every few months. Glad to see all the engineering they've put into the car to make it "safer".

Well folks, here's your winner!!!
Cap' Crunch crunches the best, I guess.

Takes a lot of Old Milwaukie to work on all that stuff.

Yeah baby! What's the requirement - one lap around after all other cars are incapacitated? That right rear wheel looks like the Flintstones.

Don't know but I'll find out.
This is the final resting spot, he just climbed out of the car when the winner was announced here (gotta like that number, eh?).
