Aruba Boycott

[Old Texan]

The Gov of GA followed suit with the AL Gove for a tourism boycott of Aruba. Stems of course from the mishandling of the Natalie Holloway disappearance and failure of local LE to find her or charge accused abductors.
Aruba complains that it isn't fair to hurt them financially and they have done all they could.
What's the opinions?
Boycott right or wrong?

Well, I am boycotting them anyway! :mad: :rolleyes:

If there is no evidence to support a trial what more can be done to solve the case? If they, the LE of Aruba, did all they could and there is still no evidence a boycott will not solve anything.

There is alot of people missing in America right now..... :rollside:

Should we boycott the parents for letting an underaged girl go on the trip to begin with??
A crying shame she has disapeared but boycotting Aruba won't solve finding her.

What hold the parents responsible, Don't be talking like that this is america it has to be someone else it can't be the parents.

Exactly. I don't see anyone suggesting we boycott NYC or LA. I'll go out on a limb here and say that there are far more unsolved murders in most American cities than in Aruba. Aruba just is more news worthy (sensationalized).
My guess is if someone studied crime statistics that LA would be a far more risky place to travel to than Aruba too.

Does that mean we should boycott Yosemite because the FBI claimed they had the Caroll Sund Killers locked up, then Carey Stayner (the real killer) sliced up another inocent victim ???

The editorial I read this morning talking about the issue mentioned pretty much the same thing. Something like 36 unsolved child abductions in AL and 60+ plus in GA (don't recall time frame).
Jon Benet Ramsey was mentioned.

[Mandelon]

I will boycott them too.

Only the underage children that go there on senior trips should boycott Aruba. You know, for saftey reasons.

some drunken spoiled lil slunt bails on her friends to go 3 locals deep in her juice box before going out for a late night swim and drowns so Im supposd to boycott one of the most beautiful places on earth? How many people go missing in New York or Vegas monthly? Are those governors going to call for a boycott of Vegas and New York too?
Why not just teach the buddy system?

Let my hood alone!!!! But there are more storys here to tell about. Remember a Boss Hogg story on the boob tube 20 20 ? Or not so told story about the woman who walked into a local bar sees her husband with his arm around one of the local [girls] emptys the 357 revolver hits him twice kills him goes home -NO time served. The fued of CHP and local law, Long story
