Lively Case Discussion # 525 9/19 - 9/23/2006

[klaasend]

Sure seems like there are alot of machete incidents in Aruba.  Why would anyone need a machete in Aruba??  It's not like they have a jungle with dense brush???  Can anyone answer this?  I find it quite odd.

Morning Klaas...since I  lived in Jamaica for nearly 10 years I think I can answer this....the machete is a tool used by many of the 'country people' ....and most carry them along with them...to cut bananas, dig for yams etc....and also for defense.....I never got used to seeing people walk around with these very SHARP tools/weapons

Ok, but I don't think Aruba has banana trees or yams...ha ha.  Aruba is a desert for the most part.

[Ono]

And are there even any coconuts there ? (Besides the two-legged ones)..Didn't we see a picture of Freddy early on in this case crouched down, smiling for the camera holding a machete? I always found that ominous.

That was Alexx, and I think it was an axe but it could have been a machete.

Oh..okay..thanks...It still creeped me out and does to this day. Aruba seems to be a very brutal place.

That is definitely a serious axe. Odd photograph.

[Easywriter]

Easy - Thanks!

I bet that machete story is the one that was in the news recently where the girl covered her child with her body while she was attacked with the machete.

Huh?    Please find something about that ... for the murder murder & crime mavens ... TY

The story I am thinking about happened in the U.S. but I can't find it now.  I was just going by the mention of U.S.A. in the headline.  Probably wrong about that one.

[msmarple]

Thanks Easy. (Any info about violent crimes on Aruba greatly appreciated.)

One headline that Klaas mention says something about "still alive" (bibo ainda).

[Jacqueline]

Good afternoon Monkeys.........

[thik]

Maybe the (HI) 'Hollandaise Investigators' should bring machettes instead of guns,, they'd save a fortune on bullets.....

God Bless Natalee, Wherever She Is...........

"Go Cowboys"

[msmarple]

The thing I really want to see is what ALE collected during that tactical maneuver of monitoring/tracking J2K's movements prior to their arrest ...

I'm betting it was ZIP.

The Dutch investigators - I'm guessing that for openers, they will review all the files.

My Opinion: What they won't find is going to be a more serious problem for Aruba, than what they do find.

Here is a skeptic's take on Remove Viewer Ed Dames. But that's the thing about the internet, anyone can say anything.

Just Another Respectable Dictator at the UN, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Calls GW Bush “The Devil”

http://www.scaredmonkeys.com/2006/09/20/just-another-respectable-dictator-at-the-un-venezuelan-president-hugo-chavez-calls-gw-bush-the-devil/

Transcript of Hugo Chavez full speech . This is a must read to see who has been making almost the same ridiculous rhetoric in this country.

Does anyone really question why the United States Federal government, President or Secretary of State never got involved or ever mentioned the name Natalee Holloway? When Aruba is only 15 miles off the coast and Venezuela and  Hugo Chavez; why do you think our government never got involved?

It seems the Twittys were planing a boycott as early as June 2nd. Jug said in the lobby of the HI that the ALE better find Natalee or the were going to go on TV and expose Aruba for what it is and the networks were going to pay them for their story! "Nobody will ever want to come to this place when we are done with it." On June 4th, suddenly there were about 75 members of US media covering this 24-7. CNN's Carl Penhaul led the initial bashing, then Fox News added fuel to the fire - everyone else was just keeping up with the Jones.
On June 10th, Jug said they weren't going to leave Aruba until they burned it to the ground.   The Good   she has no idea what the word GOOD means.....Witch

How can she remember word for word what Jug saud 15-16 months later.  Me thinks she's making this chit up to keep chit stirred up.

BTW, I thought Glends was outed at RU, and MedleyRelay at FOB, yet there they are stillposting their nonsense.

[SunFreak2]

I will add to that, they open coconuts in a few hits.. So even in Miami they are used a lot for what SunnyinTX said and also for coconuts..  Try opening a coconut with out one..

When we were kids we used a hammer and a screw driver to pull the husk off and then open the shell to drink the milk. We didn't need machetes!

California prosecutors have offered a plea bargain to one-time JonBenet Ramsey murder suspect John Karr. The deal would reduce the number of child porn possession charges against him and free him with no additional jail time.
   

Prosecutors say they'll waive 3 of the 5 charges in return for a guilty plea on the other two. Karr would be required to register as a sex offender, obligating him to report his whereabouts to local police wherever he lives.

He'd also be put on 3 years probation. The offer was made in open court after a judge set Karr's bail at $200,000, calling him a flight risk.

Karr's attorney says he'll discuss the offer with his client, but insists Karr is innocent. Karr's trial is set for October 2nd.
