yeah, I have to go back to view the irony of the quote that the Aruban officials (loosely quoted) "we can't go in like cowvboys" used a few days ago...when the essence of their justice system is to do just that, they held 2 completely innocent minorities on the basis of finger pointing.They held and sullied the name of 2 innocent persons (and their families) without the benefit of a lawyer and the higher threshold of evidence that is demanded in the American system.

I sense that their prejudices toward the American system is based on ignorance and an annoying false sense of superiority...how many times have you heard "you don't understand our system" with an air of arrogance and assumption of American "stupidity". I am so glad that Beth Holloway and the American Media cleaned the official's clock, for too long the "Aruban Officials" have been the essence of the "cowboy " justice that they wrongly accused our more fair system of justice of.

Of late they have changed their tune...but the arrogance and demeaning attitude of the officials on this Island has not been lost on me.

Queen Jadis, just another one of the ulterior hate America tropical island paradise's. One thing they love, our money and apparently our naive women.

The three POS, thought the (2) security guards(Bro's) would be good for the rap as to the social stratification order in Aruba. If in doubt, pin it on a person(s) to whom the island hiearchy mentality feels most comfortable with as the perp(s)

I am glad to see those two innocent men released and the real perps put on the spit for some roasting.

Aruba will never see one American cent from my pocket, or be graced by my presence.

I believe if the Aruban autorities had adopted a far more agressive investigative posture (the cowboy way) this case may have been solved and possibly a life saved.

Under the Dutch Law, we will never see the punishment for the crime committed to be synonomous. NSNR
