Aruban Protest of US Media & Beth

About 200 Arubans protested Tuesday outside a courthouse in the island's capital.Many were angered by remarks made by the mother of missing Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway.

One of the most vocal protesters, John Merriwether was interviewed on Scarborough Country. He told Scarborough " It never started out as a protest either. I would like that to be very, very clear. When I was there, I hadn't heard what the comments of Natalee's mother ..."
In his very next comment he says "Well, you know, it—it—it offended me, also. You cannot—these two boys, I don't know them. I don't know the parents. I don't know anyone involved in this personally. But our justice system, as yours in the states, you are innocent until proven guilty." If Mr. Merriwether did not hear the comments, how was he offended? Which lie should we believe if any?

After much criticizm this protest was later called a "show of solidarity" by Aruba Today the newspaper that has been routinely most friendly to the suspects and possible cover-up of this crime.
