Next thing you know the girl’s death will be blamed on the onset of hedonistic “liberalism” because we didn’t have this kind of problem in the repressed 1950′s, when women knew their place!

Yikes! A little harsh, no?

I totally get the “media coverage of missing eye candy trumps other news” angle, but viciously going after the family and girl herself… harsh! Like you guys never boozed and even fooled around in high school? Figuring out how to get away with it was much of the fun even on “chaperoned” trips.

The girl is (presumably) dead. Her family is unlikely to ever find out how or why or see justice served. There is nothing to be gloating about here

It’s what values-free, self-absorbed people risk. I won’t be so cruel as to say deserve, as well.

Beasley,

don’t blame her parents for financing the trip, blame them for not teaching her right from wrong.

Many of the Caribbean countries are not well-equipped to deal with murder cases. The pace with which the justice system proceeds is leisurely, and Natalee is not the only one to disappear without anyone solving the case. By the time the authorities became involved Van der Sloot and his friends had conferred with the senior Van der Sloot (a local judge) and removed the evidence.

That doesn’t make the actions of everyone else involved more responsible, but often 19 year-olds are no longer chaperoned on overseas trips.

Great post Shaun
I said at the time the real guilty parties were her parents who financed and allowed her to go on the trip.

Instead of blaming the Aruban authorities, the friends and chaperons that left her alone screwed up big time. And for our KKK crowd, the original people of interest were “darked skinned”. Our viriginal blond Pollyana’s attacked by dark Hispanics, calling Lou Dobbs…

Can one even recall all the pretty blonds that have gone missing in the last decade? One wd think only they are kidnapped- from the little beauty pageant girl to dozens of others, to the British girl. If you are black, fat, male, or anything other than blond, female, and attractive, you are not worthy.

Great values our nation has.

Now back to a bloviating radio show host.
