What a joke of a justice system. It seems to me the "police" in Aruba are chasing their tails in this case.

"DemoHawk professes solidarity with rapists"

Of course, we're talking about the Aruban justice system here, not the Dutch one. They're much more independent down there than most US colonies.

I don't know. They have been spinning it on the local media that the Aruban system is very similar to the Netherlands.

That's probably true.
I'm not up to date on this story - I read, like, one article on it several days ago - but it sounded like there was some sort of shady protection involved...which is not a feature of the Dutch justice system...more a feature of Kangaroo Courts the world over. That's what I was going on about.

My bigger concern is that the police/government really dropped the ball in this case. They waited to long to make and real move and probably gave the criminals a LOT of time to destroy whatever evidence their may have been and a LOT of time to all agree firmly on a story. Although, I do hear their story has been changing quite frequently.

Sorry states, this is NOT real news.

Actually, if there is a story here, it's the shameless destruction of the lives of thousands of Arubans by the cold, heartless media.

So you're an apologist for kidnappers and murderers now? The left has really gone over the edge.

Yes I'm an apologist for kidnappers and murderers.

No, thousands of young children disappear every day. It's well known. It's not every day that an island that relies on tourism for 70% of its industry has its livelihood under full assault by the media.

You wouldn't agree with me that the police in Aruba have completely dropped the ball? They really have done a lousy job figuring out this case. Justice comes before concerns of "tourism".

Remember, some have said that tourism dollars are more important then actively solving this crime because "people disappear all the time". What a terrible line of thought.

He didn't say it was more important than solving the crime, just that it gets way too much media coverage. How much media coverage it gets has nothing to do with solving the crime, in fact more media coverage might make it tougher.

There are plenty of disappearance cases in the US where the police also screw up massively, that don't get any coverage outside of the local ones.

The existence of "to much media" is nonsense.
