Shooting During Middle School Football Game … 4 People Wounded in Saginaw, MI

You know we are in trouble when one cannot attend a Middle school football game without hearing gun shots, let alone being shot. Such was the case in Saginaw, Michigan where 4 people were shot at the South Middle School. During half time of the game gunfire erupted wounding two teens and two adults. There have been no arrests made; however, there is a person of interest.

The injured teenagers were not students at South Middle School, where the shootings took place about 5:15 p.m. The other victims were an adult male and an adult female, Vanderhaar said. He declined to provide more details

About 100 people were attending the game when the shooting erupted a short distance from the school’s football field, where the team was playing Central Middle School, Vanderhaar said.

Aruba: More Arrests in Criminal Drug Gangs … Good Police Work in Aruba, So what Happened in the Natalee Holloway Case?

Would someone like to explain how the difference between the drug and money laundering cases in Aruba is different from the Natalee Holloway investigation?

The Aruban police have arrested two more suspects in the large scale drug dealing and money laundering investigation. Its amazing what the Aruban police can do when they set their minds to it.  Here is a rather interesting comment when it comes to the arrests of suspects in Aruba. So when a magistrate extends custody for 60 days, they have hard evidence in hand? We can remember that Joran Van der Sloot, Deepak and Satish Kalpoe’s custody stays were extended. What’s the difference?

Since September 24th, the OM has arrested a total of ten persons that are involved in drug operations.  Of the first eight, only one was released up till now.  The examining magistrate has decided to extend the custody of the other seven with another 60 days.  This means that the OM has hard evidence in hands.

Why was this investigation handled in a more thorough and professional manner than say the Natalee Holloway missing persons case? We were told that the Aruban police were overwhelmed by the enormity of the case. It would appear that a drug and money laundering long term surveillance and investigation would be quite an intricate and difficult job. So then it was not police incompetence, but something more? What would it look like or people say if everyone that was arrested in this drug and money laundering were released and never prosecuted?

What’s the difference?

Voodoo Child Prostitution Ring Busted, 20 Arrested in Netherlands, NY and Europe

A sex trade trafficking, child prostitution ring is busted in the Netherlands …  Human_TraffickingHuman trafficking is nothing more than modern day slavery.

For a year, Dutch authorities had been investigating the disappearance of young Nigerians from asylum seeker centers. Since January 2006, about 140 underage Nigerians have disappeared from the centers, which are not tightly guarded. Several girls have been found working as prostitutes in France, Italy and Spain, prosecutors said.

A child prostitution ring was busted and 20 individuals arrested in the Netherlands, New York and across Europe. The suspects smuggled young girls out of Nigeria an into the Netherlands as part of a prostitution ring. The young girls were pressures under the intimidation of voodoo and were forced to swear an oath to a voodoo priest to pay back a so-called debt. Can anyone imagine just how long this was going on before it was investigated?
