Per Fox News...

And what was a good Christian girl doing by drinking & hanging in a bar 'til all hours?

I'm an oldie and I've never done that in my life. No desire to.

Thanks

Great post!

[bonfire]

I am right with you on that.

I marched my oldest out the door years ago.....within 2 weeks he signed up for college. btw, and just graduated!

[Pharmboy]

Yes...and he also reminded me of the Preppy Murderer, Robert Chambers.

If you wouldn't let your kid party on the south side of Chicago when they're 18, don't send them to Aruba.

Tropical breezes and palm trees don't trump reality.

[Churchillspirit]

Sounds like bio-mom had custody.

Teach your boys that when a lady says "NO", it means "NO"

While that may be a great idea, I don't know what it has to do with this case. There is no evidence she said "NO" to anything. All we know is that these guys killed her, and should be treated like predators until we learn more of the details.

Unfreakenbelievable. Too many people talking and the media runs with anything and everything they hear.

[Arthalion]

I take it Arooba doesn't have the death penalty?

Aruba is part of the Netherlands, which hasn't executed anyone since the mid-1800's.

"I know, everyone thinks they can do whatever they want without any consequences"

Most likely if you said that to a liberal, they would tell you it had absolutely nothing to do with that or any other traditional safety measure. They refuse to look beyond face value in cases like this because then they would have to question their own lifestyle.

If they live under my roof, eat my food and spend my money, being 18, 19, 20 does not mean a damned thing. What I say goes. They have three choices at 18, live under my authority, go down to the admissions desk at the university or march their ass down to the recruiter's office.

Those were our house rules, too!

Thank god, mine are adults and staring middle-age in the face. lol

I just took the time to talk to my 10 year old about the dangers of getting in a strangers car. She is already real good at saying "I can't ride with you, my mom hasn't told me I could"

She knows that if a stranger says "your mom told me to take you to her" She is to say "I will call the police and have them take me, you can follow and meet us there so mom knows you did what she asked you to do"

[WakeUpAndVote]

BINGO!

How about her so called friends? I heard on FNC that they stated she was in the bathroom having "trouble". I wonder what the "trouble" was? Too much to drink, or maybe the drinks weren't strong enough? Maybe her "trouble" was that she needed a little "boost" to keep the good times rolling.

I am more that sorry that this happened to her. She was only a kid and it is sad to see a life cut short. But to put things into perspective, how about a tox screen.

"An FBI man on tv just said, because it's Aruba, they will likely only get 20 years."

Honestly, that's more than some murderers get here.

[fooman]

I get this response from my liberal friends all the time.

[Churchillspirit]

Not necessarily. The police seem to have done a thorough job and Dutch law is very strict.

[Joe Brower]

I predicted this result when the story on this sad storyfirst broke. Too easy to be right about these sorts of things, IMO.

The world is a jungle, especially the third world, and in nature the price of stupidity is to end up being food for predators. This event was no exception.

What a waste. So pretty. So young.

Thank god, mine are adults and staring middle-age in the face.

It is best to keep them in their pods until they are 30, at which point their brains should be reloaded with a mature program.
