I am very cautious when it comes to articles by the National Enquirer. If the people did really see this, they didn't see GG. It would not be very good in court for them to be witnesses. They witnessed something but didn't see the people involved. So sad they didn't attempt to walk to the car to see what was going on which is what I would of done or didn't write the license number down which I would have also done. If they had written that license number down it would have broke this case.
I believe they did try. They yelled at the man and he stopped and sped off. That area that runs along the eastern side of the island has no actual normal roads at some point. It's more of a rocky path that looks like a road and is very hard on tires. If GG sped off I don't think these people would want to chase him. I know if it had been me I would not have done so. They may have figured they had scared him enough and they stopped the fighting. She could have gotten out of the car at that point and asked for help, too.
You can't blame other people for not "helping" when the very, very least thing you would expect is that this person was there on the island to do away with their travel partner. It just does not happen down there. But I'm sure people down there have domestic fights that do not end up with one partner dead so they were probably trying to mind their own business. They knew it was a rental so they did look at the plate. And where they were located you will not see a patrol car. I've never seen one on that portion of the island, helicopters yes, but police cars...no.
For the most part the Arubans are very upbeat and seem to be very happy people. They are friendly and enjoy engaging in conversations with visitors. The sun shines most of the time so depression may exist down there but not on the level you see in the US. It has perfect weather with cooling tradewinds and it is a naturally happy island. Just not a place you would expect to see someone trying to beat up another person. But I'm sure domestic arguments do happen there and they wanted to stay out of it. Plus who wants to deal with a crazy American? Responsibility for his actions falls on GG alone. jmo
