Natalee Holloway: Gang Members Get Arrested in Aruba for Attempted Murder but no Prosecution for Joran Van der Sloot

WHAT MESSAGE IS ARUBA SENDING TO TOURISTS REGARDING JUSTICE?

Even in a gang related attempted murder case in Aruba the judges give light sentences to convicted individuals. The Aruban Public Prosecutor had requested 10 and 6 years of jail time for the attempted murder; however, the judge only gave 8 years and 18 months. More interesting was the statement from the judge regarding sending a message that this type of behavior is not to be accepted or tolerated in Aruba.

The judge is of the opinion that the community must get a clear signal that a shooting between rival gangs on broad daylight, cannot be tolerated. 

I guess the judges feel other crimes in Aruba are okay and should be tolerated. Especially, when the suspects are fellow friends of judges.

So what is the message that Aruba is sending tourists in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway and lack of investigation and prosecution of Joran Van der Sloot? So by not prosecuting someone like Joran Van der Sloot who is an obvious and admitted suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, does that mean that Aruban justice system is sending a “clear signal” that crimes against tourist are tolerated and will go unpunished. That should be a clear message to tourists.

Eight years jail for Macuarima shooting  (Amigoe: 2/25/08)

ORANJESTAD – The two Macuarima-shooting suspects E.J. Lo-A-Njoe and E.J. Thiel are respectively convicted to 8 years and 18 months jail.  The Public Prosecutor (OM) demanded 10 and 6 years jail and is considering appealing the verdict.

Boston Travel Show Part II: Aruba’s Travel Marketing Campaign vs Freedom of Speech

For those that missed it over the weekend, check out Scared Monkeys at the Boston Travel Show reminding Aruba, No Justice For Natalee Holloway … No Tourism For Aruba. A tremendous job by all who attended in support of Natalee and her family. I believe Aruba heard you loud and clear. The power of freedom of speech on display in Boston, MA.

Aruba, you have all the information and evidence that you need to prosecute Joran Van der Sloot. Its time you act or risk further tourism woes.

Listen to the wrap up summary HERE from the Boston Travel show.

Check out the initial posts from Day 1 of the Boston Travel show (Justice for Natalee), pics, videos, audio comments and much more. Also go HERE for more pics and comments from the road at the Boston Travel Show.

Natalee Holloway Missing in Aruba: John Q. Kelly on Geraldo at Large (2/24/08) … “I think they could arrest Joran Van der Sloot and prosecute him on a circumstantial case

John Q Kelly … Joran Van der Sloot has something to hide.

“… but one of them has to be true because we’ve never found her and you don’t dispose of a body, you don’t help in locating the person when you’re the last one with her unless you have something to hide. I think he was fearful that an autopsy if she was found would show there was something in her system.”

Geraldo At Large: February 24, 2008, Guest: John Q. Kelly (read the transcript)

Geraldo: John, first of all you’ve got the Joran Van der Sloot situation. He confesses on tape, how strong is the case against him?

John Q. Kelly: I think they have a very strong case Geraldo.

He goes to Carlos & Charlie’s a half hour before closing. He buys Natalee a drink, he takes it from the bartender, he walks over to her hands her the drink, stands there, she finishes the drink. Within 20 minutes she’s incoherent, she’s lapsing in and out of consciousness.

Scared Monkeys at the Boston Travel Show Reminding Aruba and All … Justice for Natalee Holloway (Part I)

A special thank you from those at Scared Monkeys to the Monkeys who braved the snow, cold and elements in traveling to the Boston Travel Show to boycott Aruba and remind Aruba and others that this is about … Justice for Natalee. Rest assured … any time that Aruba is your sponsor at a trade show, Scared Monkeys will be there to provide the truth to unsuspecting people.

 SCARED MONKEYS AT BOSTON TRAVEL SHOW

“No Justice For Natalee … No Tourism for Aruba”

Scared Monkeys and those that care about the safety of travelers to Aruba and providing justice to those who have crimes committed against them will always be present and speak the truth. The following is from the Aruban tourism web page. That in red italics is closer to the truth interpretation.

Bonbini!

It means welcome. And here, you truly are. (It means enter at your own risk. And here, if you have a crime committed against you, Aruba is certain to cover it up and provide you with no justice.)

You’re welcome to dream. (You are welcome to spend your hard earned money.) Of endless sun and scenery. (Of actually leaving Aruba alive in the same manner you entered it). Of breathtaking blues and crystal clear ocean and white, sandy beaches. (Of having your body disposed of at sea or left on the beach at the Fisherman’s Huts). You’re welcome to plan the ideal family vacation or wedding or honeymoon or meeting or simple escape to a colorful world away from home. (If you are foolish enough to spend your hard earned money of a vacation in Aruba, we are certain to promise you the world and say no problem only to do nothing for you if “anything bad happens.”) You’re welcome to explore. (Take your own chances.) To make everything that’s ours yours. To find the perfect something, or nothing, to do. (Buyer beware … you to can have “Some thing bad happen”.)

Welcome to Aruba. This is our home. And we want to share it with you. (Enter at your own risk, we barely provide justice for our own citizens, for tourists we are certain to cover up and crime and never investigate, prosecute or provide justice for you.)

UPDATE I: Comments from Monkeys at Boston Trade Show

It would appear that some of the Boston Police did not like the fact that Scared Monkeys was attending the Boston Travel Show and using their 1st Amendment Rights. However, thank you to the Boston Port Authority Police for their fine work.

UPDATE II: Actual video from the Boston Travel Show

The expression on Rob Smith’s face (blue shirt and jacket in video) and the nervous look he has is priceless. Hey Rob, how’s it feel to spend all that money on marketing of Aruban tourism for nothing?
