Words placed into the mouth of a crazy woman (implicating an enemy of the people asking the questions) who was determined to kill -somebody- it’s mentioned elsewhere that she may have wanted to target the Pope.

Not home grown.

The authorities did not even believe her, so I don't see why they would "plant" words in her mouth...

Anyway, there is no point arguing about this.

Because the ‘authorities’ are not a single person, factions within organizations often pull in different directions.

Will you at least concede the point that she’d been in Italy for less than 2 years?

To be clear: Violet Gibson was in no way Italian or connected in any meaningful way to Italy.

One might also observe that the violent attack in a foreign country might almost be ‘Imperialist’.

And if the attack was politically motivated (I personally think she was a few sandwiches short of a picnic), then she’s down for some political violence.

In that case she’s a bit more facist than anti-facist.
