Group’s St. John Protests Targeted Businesses
From the St. Thomas Source:
Oct. 10, 2005 – Many St. John residents remain puzzled as to why the St. Croix group, We the People for Justice, targeted St. John restaurants by holding sit-ins over the weekend.St. John resident Ronnie Jones, who participated in some of the events, said the main purpose was to pressure law enforcement officials into providing information on the alleged rape of Esther Frett. No one has been arrested in connection with this case.
"It seems a long time to get any kind of response," Jones said.
He said that if someone had raped a "Caucasian lady, you know there would have been an arrest even if it wasn't factual."
Jones said the group also targeted Starfish Market because it was the "biggest business on St. John."
