MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Alabama Gov. Bob Riley called for a travel boycott of Aruba on Tuesday until authorities on the Dutch Caribbean island cooperate more fully with the family of a Mountain Brook teenager who has been missing since a graduation trip in May.
Riley asked the governors of the other 49 states to join him in urging a boycott of Aruba on behalf of the family of Natalee Holloway, an 18-year-old Mountain Brook High graduate last seen on the island May 30.
Her mother, Beth Holloway-Twitty, joined Riley at the Alabama Capitol for the boycott announcement. She contends Aruban authorities have failed to adequately investigate the possible murder of her daughter, who was with a teenager, Dutch national Joran van der Sloot, and Surinamese brothers Deepak and Satish Kalpoe on the night she disappeared.
They were held for a time and released.
Oustanding!
Kudos to Governor Riley!
WRONG!! There was blood on the backseat of the car and on the CEILING!! That evidence was mysteriously misplaced.
Me? Since the Twitty's have money, I would just have the whole bunch of them kidnapped, including the scumbag father , put in a room and break their teeth out one by one with a pair of pliers. The first one to break and tell where Natalie's body can be found, lives. Too bad for the rest of them.
But if you could, I'd recommend somewhere like Belize instead!
Seriously, even if Aruba charges and convicts Joran & Paulus Van der Sloot along with the Kalpoe brothers as a result of this boycott, my big toe will never touch Aruban sand. They had their chance to do the right thing and if they suddenly cooperate, it will only be because of tourist dollars, so screw 'em.
Most liberals do, too.
But I blame the villains who harmed the girl.
It sure would be nice if Urine had some really really bad luck there at the Universitheit in Amsterdam.
You don't have a clue. Anything else you would like to pronounce on about which you know nothing?
College is like nursery school compared to what goes on in the islands.
I'll second that!!!
>>>You aren't a parent are you?
>>>Nope. Irrelevant when you think about it.
No, actually not. Especially when you show complete ignorance and try to act like the fact that this girl is missing and probably murdered should be shrugged off by her parents.
You always say that! :)
...you're usually so darn articulate that you make me jealous...lol.
You're pretty darn articulate yourself, and don't you forget that! :)
Get a life. He said no such thing.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh.
Yeah. Christians who preach their holy scripture and then turn around and divorce at the drop of a hat, kinda gives me the heebie jeebies.
A lot of kids would have a lot better chance at life if their head strong moms and weak dads didn't break the marriage covenant without working harder at being parents first, personally fulfilled, happy humans second. I'm doing it. It's a struggle. It's a sacrifice. But there is something good at the end of the rainbow - young humans that understand the meaning of commitment and a father to teach limits.
Is there some sort of contest or a prize going on on free republic for the biggest dumbass assertion of the day?
Let's see:
1) the guy robbed coming out of the quick shop should have known better than to shop there...., it was a sleazy part of town.br> 2) the girl raped walking down the street was asking for it..., her sweater was too tight
3) the person burned to death in France was partially to blame... after all, he knew about that famous Muslim "rage"
4) Every girl date raped with roofies is partly to blame because...., because....., because no girl should ever drink anything (alcoholic or no) in front of a guy....., you never can tell what they will put in it.
My family is from Alabama, and my brother and my sister and their families both live in Mt Brook (or N. Shelby county, which is the same thing). I went to HS with a guy whose daughter was VERY good friends with Natalie (she is a senior this year at Mt Brook and so was not old enough to go on the trip). Natalie was NOT a partying drunken slut. She was not a party girl at all. There is plenty of opportunity to do plenty of drugs in the Mt. Brook HS scene (lots of money and lots of spoiled kids) and Natalie just didn't go that route.
It really pisses me off to see ignoramuses who don't know crap about the situation weigh in wagging their ignorant fingers on stuff about which they know nothing, and talking smack about a very nice girl.
Thanks for the ping. Wasn't going to Aruba anyway.......but I'll tell everyone I'm boycotting.
How be you?
I'm not mocking NH's parents. But people disappear all the time and sometimes they disappear because they are murdered, and sometimes the crime is never solved because of LEO/government incompetence, particularly in places like Aruba, where murders are rare. If we are going to boycott every state and country where someone has literally gotten away with murder because of LEO/government errors and/or ommissions, then forget about visiting Kalifornia, Washington, D.C., Floriduh, and just about any place else in the world.
You've already slipped up three times with me, maybe it's high time you stopped your wild-eyed guessing and speculating about me before you make a complete fool of yourself. Take a hint.
Furthermore, I'm not "acting like the fact that this girl is missing and probably murdered". Fact is, we all know she is missing, and there is a distinct probability that she is in fact murdered, but we cannot say that for a fact, because we don't know where she is.
Aruba has bent over backwards trying to solve this case and has spent millions for the Permanent Vacation Natalie's family has been on since her death. No wonder Americans are viewed in such a negative light. They think the entire world is supposed to stop until they get what they want.
Get real there are hundreds if not thousands of unsolved murders in this country probably scores in Alabama alone.
This whole episode is sickening particularly when you know that the Treason Media is only running with the story because it can be used to cover events of real importance.
If one were to believe the Treason media one must believe this was the MOST IMPORTANT story in the world.
And now this ridiculous nonsense is being whipped up by the Governor. Pathetic.
They have proven nothing of the kind...there is no way to prove that she did not go willingly...but I think you already know that.
BTW, what do you call three men having sex with someone who can't say no? I call it rape!
How do you know she didnt say yes prior to taking drugs of her own free will?
YOU DON"T
so it is a case of what YOU THINK!......
You tget snappish on someone that would like to see joran FRY...you cut off your own nose to spite your face FOOL>
