Jordan Vandersloot Finally Does An "OJ"

Really bad people tend not to accept their get-out-of-jail-free cards and go off to live a quiet, low-key life, thankful for the freedom they don't deserve. No. Like Oj Simpson, and now the fine, fine Joran Vandersloot, they continue along with their wreckless ways.

Too bad stupid juries and corrupt investigators allow them one more murder before they finally get put away for the safety of all.

Stupid juries might know how to spell “reckless” or “Joran van der Sloot”

Thanks! Very much worth reading the full article, LOL!

[Fishtalk]

Thank you for that.

Taking time out of your busy day like that...I am so impressed.

I have seen Vandersloot spelled several different ways.

I have also seen wreckless spelled both ways but I’ll allow that’s probably an error.

But still, a busy intelligent person like yourself taking the time to write this, I thank you again.

I take it if Joran van der Sloot is let loose he is going to hunt down the real killer like OJ did?

[humblegunner]

I have seen Vandersloot spelled several different ways.

Yes. Some folks write "alot" and think it's correct, too.

I have also seen wreckless spelled both ways

I suppose one sees many things in remedial English fourth grade classes.

I thank you again.

You are quite welcome.

Not going to quibble over spelling or anything else. But it's a fine article and a good observation.

I think that the reason OJ and VanderSloot are doomed to repeat their evil ways lies in their mental makeup. They are psychotic and too narcissistic to figure they will eventually get caught.

Vandersloot is not necessarily incorrect.

I’m not backing down from that.

Just cause you said so doesn’t make it so.

This is why blogs blow.

Anything goes as to spelling, grammar, facts, name it.

Nobody checks. They just toss it out there. Sad.

You are absolutely correct. Two peas in a pod, eh?

Our own President has those same characteristics but if you say I said I will have to deny.

[Fishtalk]

With that, I grant you the last word.

Since you want it so damn bad.

“I take it if Joran van der Sloot is let loose he is going to hunt down the real killer like OJ did?”

Perhaps. He has already declared his innocence and asserted that his confession was coerced.

Not that any of these make it so either, but... any search for Vandersloot in Google, Bing, or Yahoo! come up with "van der Sloot".

Joran van der Sloot is how the name appears in wikipedia. Searching wikipedia for Vandersloot comes up with Vanderkloof, which it notes is a town in the Northern Cape province of South Africa.

And thesmokinggun.com also goes with "Joran van der sloot".

Van der Sloot is the Hollands way to spell it. Vandersloot is the Americanization. Joran is a Hollander- Dutch. He spells it appropriately. Pronunciation properly is as fundersloat- stress on the sloat. The name means "of the moat" or "of the ditch."

[arthurus]

Wreckless and reckless would have two incompatible meanings.
Reckless is "without reckoning." Wreckless would be, well, having an accident free driving record and thus probably not "reckless."

Good article on the Dutch murderer, Joran van der Sloot.

The comparison with O.J. Simpson is one I've seen before but it is no less apt in this instance. Sane people can't understand why someone (O.J., Joran) who literally got away with murder would later put themselves in a position where they could be sent to prison. However, the premise that these people are sociopaths and simply cannot imagine ever being caught or convicted - they got way with an infamous capital crime once before, right? - does help explain what would otherwise be a mystery.

As for young Mister van der Sloot: good riddance.

[Fishtalk]

Both of the articles I quote in the post spell it Van der Sloot.

Still and so I’ve seen the name all together like I spelled it.

I suspect it’s probably split apart but American journalists and Bloggers that blow get lazy and run it together.

I really do care about how I spell names which is why I got “Stephany” right. But this Vandersloot thing just had me puzzled as I’ve seen it so many ways and I just took the easy way.

I didn’t do all the work that you did but hey, I’m just a Blogger that blows.

Which leaves me wondering why one who so dislikes Bloggers is all involved in a forum clearly labelled “Bloggers” on FreeRepublic but hey, it’s just me.

But thanks...you handled it nicely. I appreciate your effort.

[smalltownslick]

I think the real issue is that he name is Joran, not Jordan

[Grizzled Bear]

...but hey, I’m just a Blogger that blows.

That's not necessarily a bad thing.
