Blue Angels had a crash at Beaufort,a few minutes ago.

Blue Angels had a crash at Beaufort,a few minutes ago.

Yes, very sad.  Witnesses are saying it looks like the plane simply lost power then altitude.  Crashed into a home and the pilot died.

[mishy]

I just read about that blue angel pilot crashing into some homes. The pilot died and some homes are on fire?

     

I love the Blue Angels...Used to live in Pensacola and saw them there and once in San Francisco...I'll never forget it!

Manifestation Planned For Monday

April 20th 2007, Aruba.

ORANJESTAD-The detention of businessman Michael Saladin is prolonged
for 60 days. The Public Attorney’s Office demanded the extension in
search of more clues. Friends of Saladin reacted amazed, and have
announced a manifestation infront of the Public Attorney’s Office on
Monday. The Public Attorney’s Office stands firm on its handling of the
case, and stresses that the handling is applicable in all such cases.

Saladin entered a fitness center in Oranjestad on March 23rd, with a gun
in his hand in search of the panhandler known as "Cachete". The
panhandler vandalized the car of Saladin's wife after Mrs Saladin told the
panhandler she was not interested in having her car cleaned. The
management of the fitness center called police, who shortly upon arrival
arrested both Saladin and the panhandler. The panhandler was released
after 6 hours but Saladin remained in police custody ever since.

The Public Attorney’s Office considers being in possession of a gun and
certainly pointing a gun in a public place, a serious crime. It has therefore
demanded the prolongation of the arrest of Saladin.

Saladin remained hospitalized due to health complaints since his arrest.
At the hospital he was being looked after by police. Saladin was released
from the hospital on Thursday, and transported to the Correctional
Institute where he will sit the 60 days.

Friends and supporters of Saladin will organize a manifest at 5:00pm on
Monday. The manifest will start infront of the Public Attorney’s Office and
will pass through mainstreet towards the fitness center where he was
arrested. The manifest will demand the immediate release of Saladin and
express the public discontent on aggressive panhandlers in downtown
Oranjestad.

I consider the drugging, kidnapping, rape, murder, obstruction of justice a serious crime also.  So is what time a suspect picked up his murdering son the one who was the last to be seen with a missing tourist the night she vanished off the face of the earth.

Oh, I see, Klaas. If you turn the panhandlers in Aruba, you risk getting your tires or even throat slashed, and you have no recourse whatsoever. And if you do try to teach him a lesson (Saladin has not said he intended to kill Cachete, did he), then you are locked up and the key thrown away for at least a couple of months. Meanwhile, the panhandler walks free after 6 hours, regardless of the damage to someone's personal property...

Pfffft! Just another reason not to go to Aruba. I wish MSM would cover this story...Sounds like we need to do another letterwriting campaign...just food for thought...

[Anna]

Yeah, too bad Beth didn't chase Joran around with a gun.  Maybe she would have received some local support instead of a demonstration, actually two of those, against her.

 

[mishy]

DOH! I meant to say, "If you turn the panhandlers down in Aruba..."
  That's what I get for typing so quickly in the heat of the moment....

[mishy]

nice duds, Anna...very stylish, very cute  

[Anna]

I wonder what it means that the police were "taking care" of him at the hospital.  That doesn't sound right.  Must be that Aruban Health Care plan?


But he is an American and so deserving of our support until proven otherwise so I agree that it is odd he is arrested while certain others with local influence go free in highly questionable circumstances.
