I’m sure we’ve all heard about the poor girl who’s somewhere lost in Aruba. I have a bad feeling that she’s not coming home alive. It’s a sad story, but I have some problems with the coverage. When the story first broke two weeks ago, they arrested two hotel security guards who the police said were possible involved with her disappearance. They were both middle aged black men. Then, a few days later, they detained three other teenage to 20 y/o men who gave the girl a ride back to the hotel after picking her up at a bar. They were the last people to see the girl alive. One kid is white, and the other two and of, I’m suspecting, either Arabic or Indian origin. Although all fingers really point to the three guys who drove her home, the two black men are still in custody and have not been formally charged. I’m pretty pissed. I think it’s obvious to anyone who has heard anything about this case that these two men had nothing to do with this girl’s disappearance. They have adamantly confessed their innocence, yet they are still being held and have not been charged. This is a case of scapegoating to make it seem like the Aruban police are on the case. However, the media hasn’t mentioned much about these two seemingly innocent men. Figures. When a ‘pretty blonde’ goes missing in a foreign place, it’s always easier to blame the natives first.
