I agree. Didn't Sloot say that Natalee came on to him? I'm wondering if at the casino when she asked him to meet her at Carlos & Charlie's, if ol' playboy Sloot the Younger, took that as a come on and invite. Some of the women going there may be easy and he may have thought she was too, because of her invite. Not a smart thing to do. I'm not saying he was right, what I am saying is that he may have viewed that as leading him on. Remember, his best friend Jamie supposedly said that 'she deserved what she got' or something like that?
I think Sloot decided she had led him on. He was already at home, and returned to town because of her invitation. She may not have intended it to be taken the way he took it. I'm pretty sure she didn't. Being inexperienced to the bar scene though, she made a very bad mistake at the casino, in inviting him to meet her at C&C.
I doubt that she was drugged. Sloot didn't think he needed to drug her drink, she did after all invite him to meet her at C&C's. I do think that when she refused his advances that 'something bad happened'.
It's too bad there isn't an X option to just ignore someone....
There are some people on these threads determined to make sure Natalee and her mother are good and smeared.
I have to wonder why.
NOt always in countries like Aruba.
I do think she got in the car. Whether she was drugged or however, there came a point when we can reasonably surmise she was not with them willingly.
Unless of course you believe she "ran away" or whatever.
But make no mistake, third world countries have cabs that are cars with meters. I have been in them. And on the islands, very common.
Since it was assumed by some that Natalee was a run-a-way or was hiding out somewhere because she did not want to return home.
It was only "assumed" to be a runaway by people who had a vested interest in diverting this story away from what really happened.
You've about beaten that taxi thing to death; for all we know the person who said it misspoke.
Your pictures don't prove a thing.
A few of them even have the same typing styles.
I got that impression last night when Jug Twitty said that he would like to talk to the Kalpoes. I don't remember what he said all that well. Logically, if he would like to talk to the Kalpoe's and the Kalpoes were willing (their mother didn't particularly want them talking to Greta, so I would think she wouldn't want them to talk with Jug), then why aren't they talking? And the attorney of one brother threatened to sue the Twittys. Doesn't sound amenable to discussion to me.
Try not to feed the trolls.
I recall the experience you related and what you did. You were very fortunate.
PS, I hope Dennis falls apart and doesn't affect you or anyone else on the coastline.
I think we do the same in this country.
Hate is everywhere,,there are people who live to provoke, prove their superiority, be ugly and don't have a sense of decency. Too many of them on fR lately.
It's a fair point. But their laws are so different it's hard to know what is expected.
Yes I was exceedingly fortunate. I froze and the driver thought I was armed.
Thank goodness. Otherwise you would be here discussing my lack of responsibility and judgement and otherwise soiling my memory.
I don't forget what people say here. Your compassion is directed to me but ought to be directed to these sad sad people who have lost a lovely daughter.
Again!!!
At least one of them left in a snit on ... um, maybe thread two, and said s/he wouldn't return to the Natalee threads.
Trolls are unable to keep their word. Shows serious character flaws, IMO.
and when one "has to run" the other shows up talking in circles. Same person or tag team?
Mr. Rip: Apparently you are posting and you have not even read posts short ways back. Caught ya! Greta has indeed talked with one of the Kalpoes, for about 30 minutes. You are only posting paragraphs of inuendos--meaning nothing. Just words. You are taking the pleasure from the chatters.
Just because I don't post my prayers on the thread for them publicly doesn't mean that I don't pray for them.
Mat 6:6-7And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
It also doesn't mean that I am going to turn a blind eye to personal responsibilty. Compassion takes many forms. Remember the old story about being compassionate and giving the poor person money for dinner, and it was pointed out that it would have been even more compassionate to teach that person how to fish, hunt or garden, so that they would be able to feed themseves always, instead of just one meal.
