BFN Member’s Response to the Dismissal of the Lawsuit
They can dismiss all the cases they want. Shoot them down as they are brought up. They will NEVER dismiss my concern, my passion, my dedication, my LOVE for this family.
Not one single person here thought this was going to be easy. Not one of us thought finding Natalee’s justice, BEING NATALEE’S VOICE, was going to be an easy task. We have been beaten down, we have been disappointed, we have had our hopes dashed in front of us on national TV while hour long sitcoms took pot shots at us. And still we are here.
Still we gather together in the chat room and pray together, with people who once were only strangers to us, we come together across the country, across the world, and we come here every single day and we pledge our support to this family.
We never thought this would be easy and that’s a good thing because it is going to be hell. We will face this last disappointment the way we have faced all of them and then we will get back up and show that family that we are still standing. WE ARE STILL STANDING UP FOR THEM.
I am sorry things went the way they did, I am sorry my own tax dollars, the very ones I made at my office today when I should have been crying my eyes out in a courtroom, I am sorry those tax dollars paid for it.
But do not let anyone, especially not the Kalpoe brothers, especially not Joran, especially not the government of Aruba, think for one second that this was a VICTORY for them. Because I am still here, because you are still here, because Natalee’s memory and spirit and heart is still here.
So let them dismiss this case. They cannot dismiss us.
