1. Aruba has much more crime than the MSM says it has.

2. Not Exactly
true, the population is a little over 70,000 total and in general the crime rate is very low. Although, I will concede that in the past decade or so it has risen disproportionately seemingly as a direct consequence of it's immigration flood!

3. And where do you get that?
"The island has a reputation of being all but free of crime for tourists.

Last year, there was one murder and six rapes, this year two murders and three rapes on the island of 72,000 off the coast of Venezuela. All of the rapes were committed by local men against local women. The two murders involved drug addicts who died in knife fights."

My first thought was, any jealous boyfriends among the classmates?

4. Just a matter of time
before this happened. Americans send their kids out of the country for their drunken debauchery on Senior Trips or Spring Break and then are surprised when something happens. I understand these kids were "chaperoened". Why didn't someone stop her from getting in the car with locals at 1:30am?
