Aruba and Dutch Law

Falstaff · Jun 23, 2005, 02:53 PM

I have seen for the past week, the media in America make the missing person case in Aruba of the Alabama teenager, a farce. I am so sick of the coverage, and Greta Van Sustern as well, god what an ugly girl. I know for a fact they cannot prove whether any foul play has occured except that conflicted stories by suspect interviewed have raised serious doubts though. I am so pissed at the media attempting to force American Law and policy on the tiny islands government and police force.

Jeff, thats exactly what i was thinking and talking to my boss about yesterday. It really makes me loose what little repect I had left for the media. On a different note wasnt it nice to see they found that 11 year old boy scott in Utah after 4 days in the wilderness. I can only image how he felt at night cold and scared.

You'd be surprised how little coverage there is about this case here in the Netherlands.

and perhaps rightly so, there are lots of people turning up missing all the time and they are not the subject of such a terrible level of interest...
if your poor in America, no one really gives a damn...
if your a rich white girl in Aruba with rich parents...guess what....
nothing really will ever change will it..

Tropical island; almost no effort needed to find anything on the story; those journalist really aren't as stupid as I thought.
