But I think he does care or else he wouldn't have contacted media in the States. As to whom can or cannot help Frank it is amazing what the average person can do to help affect change and aid those in need.
What makes you think he contacted them, rather than vice versa?
I don't find it both arrogant and ignorant. Frank has brought this to the public. Many on both sides of the Kercher case are asking why and how and wanting to see documentation. That is only normal if one is to offer support. Not offering documentation doesn't hold that Frank or the CPJ are liars but it would certainly substantiate the accusations made. And I can't believe the CPJ would advocate the suppression of information.
I don't think Frank has brought this to the public. Frank Sfarzo has written a blog over the last few years about the Kercher case, which has been critical of Mignini and the Perugia police. He hasn't talked at much length about his own personal dealings with Mignini or the Perugia police, other than when they were directly related to the Kercher case investigation itself. I get the objective impression that he has in fact sought to refrain from commenting on his personal situation, except for when directly pressed on it.
Both Frank Sfarzo and the CPJ have offered explanations as to why and how Perugia Shock was taken offline the other day. They had no need to explain it to the wider public, but they did so anyway, in answer to obvious questions about what had happened to the blog. They have no need or obligation to show all the supporting documentation. They are either telling the truth or they are liars, and if they are subsequently shown to be liars, it won't do either party's reputation any good at all, will it? Do you ask to see someone's passport or driving licence when they first tell you their name, or do you accept they are telling you the truth unless you see explicit evidence to the contrary?
But Frank didn't leave it with the Italian government and the CPJ - the cause has now been taken up in many places. Do you really think the CPJ would be for the silencing of the media concerning what is taking place with Frank?
Who's talked about "silencing of the media"? It's all pretty simple:
1) Perugia Shock went down
2) People asked questions why - particularly in light of the recent CPJ letter - the site suddenly went down without any warning
3) Presumably both the CPJ and media outlets contacted Sfarzo and asked him why the blog was down
4) Sfarzo told them why it was down. He may also have supplied the corroborating evidence to the CPJ and/or some of the media
5) The media and the CPJ reported why Perugia Shock was taken down
6) To suggest that both the CPJ and the media are wrong about the reason why Perugia Shock was taken down is to accept that either the media/CPJ are lying themselves, or that the media/CPJ have completely failed to check the veracity of the story
7) I don't believe that either of these above scenarios makes any sense - especially when one realises that to make false allegations that Mignini obtained a court order to force Google to take down Perugia Shock would in itself probably be defamatory against Mignini
8) It's therefore rational and fair to suppose that the CPJ, media and Sfarzo himself are all telling the truth when they say that Perugia Shock was taken offline in response to a court order obtained by Mignini in Florence, and issued against Google
9) And it's rational and fair to continue to believe that, unless and until contrary evidence comes to light.
