Are the protesters trespassing???

[EastSideOfSaddness]

I can't believe anyone is calling that assault. My gosh, people made it sound like George came running out of the garage with hammer in hand ready to bash someone. He had the hammer in his hand because he was pounding stakes into the ground to hold the tape. If it weren't for the protesters there would be no need for tape in the first place. Did you hear what people were screaming to them? That wasn't protesting, it was cruelty. Are the Anthonys supposed to be made of stone or what? George guided the man back off his driveway. Is there video of George supposedly assaulting the poor feeble old woman? How long before the rumor mill puts her in a wheelchair wearing an oxygen mask?

Assault is often defined to include not only violence, but any physical contact with another person without their consent.

Did I miss something? All I saw was him push two back off his property!

They weren't on his property. There is a pic at the beginning of this thread that shows their property line.

I don't care where you live sidewalk is PUBlIC PROPERTY period. What would happen if GA decided he no longer liked it there and had it removed? The city would say oh its his yard he can do as he pleased, and the same with the street signs. I don' t think so not even in KC's strange world

It appeared to me in that video that George and Cindy did their best to ignore the "protesters" and the protesters kept pushing, getting louder and nastier, trying to get a reaction. Makes for more camera time, don't you know? It's obvious to me that the protesters were the ones seeking a confrontation and the Anthonys tried their best not to give it to them. Everyone has a breaking point. The Anthonys have committed no crimes and aren't even POI in any crime. They shouldn't have to stay holed up in their home 24/7.

Perhaps George and Cindy should go over to the home of that woman who banged on their door a few days ago - her child was kidnapped by the child's father - and six years later, to my understanding, she still hasn't reported it.

Chilly: The Anthony's are WELL aware of the mob outside their home and how that mob is growing by the day. They know the news crews are outside their home and that everytime they go out there to confront them, they make the 5'o'clock news. The best thing the Anthony's can do is keep quiet and go look for their GD. Perhaps they may gain a little sympathy. Since it's a LEGAL right to protest, the Anthony's cannot do a thing about it and pounding in new trespassing signs isn't doing any bit of good. GA had a past incident where he threw a family member threw a window. This man should not be anywhere NEAR protestors with a hammer. My guess is this woman will press charges and with all those witnesses, press and the like, GA most likely will be charged tomorrow. But that's just my guess.

Do you have a link to show that George pushed a family member through a window? I keep reading that, but haven't seen proof. I recall one person posting that the story is backwards, and that someone threw George through a window.

A man has a right to use a hammer in his own yard. It's not his fault the protesters are out there.

chilly what should happened if he would have shoved or pushed LE? Assault on a police officer this is no different, if they did not purpose a threat.

He didn't shove a cop. A cop would not have been yelling the cruel things the protesters were yelling to provoke George. Entirely different scenario and not at all relevant. I think the protesters do pose a threat. They're mean and they have a frightening lynch mob mentality about them.

 

[Nedthan Johns]

Chilly, I have news for you, protestors can yell all sort of obscenities at Geroge and Cindy, they can get right up in their face, but as soon as one of them grabs, shoves or pushes the other, that is assult my friend. The thing is George is well aware of this. It seems this family just continues to do things that are odd to me, like washing the car and cleaning the trunk after they smelled a dead body. Or washing out Caylee's pants. The parents certainly aren't normal in my book, and George's actions aren't consistant with having been in LE. They are just as strange as their daughter.

 

[magiemay]

1. Assault is assault.
2. I am glad as I'm shure many of you are we don't live near Chilly,
3. It is 2:20am I'm going to bed so I can get up early to patrol MY sidewalk with my trusty hammer in case someone I'd on it!

Where has it been reported that George washed the car or cleaned the trunk? link please.

Chilly, I can't recall the name of the website, but it came from Cindy's brother. I read it for myself. Someone provided the link on here a week or so ago and I read everything he had to say. A man has a right to use a hammer in his own yard, but he DOES NOT HAVE A RIGHT to shove or push or even touch a protestor in a threatening manner and having a hammer in your hand when you do it may be interpreted as intimdation with a deadly weapon. George is threading on thin ground here. There is NO reason George or Cindy needs to be out pounding in "no trespassing" signs with hammers in front of an angry mob, WHEN THEIR ONLY CONCERN SHOULD BE LOCATING THEIR GRAND DAUGHTER.

Okay enough folks, I am off to bed. My perdiction: George Anthony will be visited by LE tomorrow and either given a warning or taken to jail as I believe one or both protestors will press charges.

Cindy Anthony will make more outrageous claims on National TV continuing to blame the public for Caylee's disappearance, and Casey, well Casey is living the good life, eating pizza, taking hot showers, and surfing the internet all under the protective company of her highly dysfunctional parents.

Nite folks!!

Oh.....and it won't be long before she is offically charged with MURDER in the first degree.

Respectfully quoted from the Bill of Rights:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

This brings several things to my mind. There was so much made of the violation of KC's constitutional rights to bond that two bonding agencies joined forces to re-bond her from jail. On that point, she had not, imho, been denied her constitutional right; her family just didn't have the money.

Why is it any different when the protestors assemble, to exercise their constitutional rights? Why are they are denied them? I agree the operative word here needs to be peacably. But if those individuals are standing on a public sidewalk, and are being chased away, then the A's, imho, are in fact, guilty of attempting to violate those peoples' rights.

Furthermore, why do they think they can have it both ways? Get off their property when they're holding signs; but when the garage door comes up and the lights come on and it suits the As, it's alright to be there. I don't believe they issue an individual invitation for everyone that attends vigils.

So I think they need to make up their minds. I agree it's got to be difficult to ignore the signs and the people. I agree that the people do not need to shout, but again, there's that sticky issue of free speech.

I agree people should not take children to any of these 'events.' I agree that the As have brought a lot of this on themselves. I agree that that woman would be justified in filing assault charges. I agree it's all horrible and dreadful. I agree that the people are not trespassing if they're on the sidewalks (not even getting into the grassy area -- stay on the sidewalk where they're sure they're ok). And I agree that the main focus of this whole circus needs to be returned to the main question:

Where's Caylee.

Magiemay: Better get out our screwdriver as well, I hear those protestors are pesky critters! Nite!

 

[cacnotcam]

Well, if they do not own it, then why do they have to maintain it and mow it and keep it up?? If the city came and tore that up, you bet that they would have to cover those costs. It is called a "lawn extension." It is kinda flaky. Yes, they own it but they don't. KWIM?????

i have to agree with you ... i watched the video these people were on his property they walked right up in their driveway . they were being cruel and egging them on . NOOOOOO excuse for that esp with kids involved .if the protesters suspect them of being murders covering up things ect ect what the flippin hell are they anywhere near them for ? or letting thier children there for ?

Again, what you think is stupid is not illegal. Do I like what I see going on? No. But it's not tresspassing if they stay where they are supposed to.

Several local posters have posted that the HOA issue is not the case.

1. Again you are miss quoting me. An angry mob key word MOB

Main Entry: 1mob
Pronunciation: \ˈmäb\
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin mobile vulgus vacillating crowd
Date: 1688
1: a large or disorderly crowd; especially : one bent on riotous or destructive action
2: the lower classes of a community : masses, rabble
3chiefly Australian : a flock, drove, or herd of animals
4: a criminal set : gang; especially often capitalized : mafia 1
5chiefly British : a group of people : crowd
synonyms see crowd
— mob·bish \ˈmä-bish\ adjective

PLEASE consider I am refering to number one and not number 2, 3 or even 4 in this case.

An angry mob is illigal. Thus it is stupid. PLease stop trying to say I think peacful protest is stupid or that I am even agreaing or disagreaing with them being there at all I am simply pointing out facts. and YES I believe an ANGRY MOB is STUPID.
And many of the protesters are occasionally tresspassing and being dissorderly.

As far as the property now you claim local posters say its not an issue? I am a local poster I live in Orlando and it CAN very much so be an HOA issue. We have nothing here to show us who owns that land from the sidewalk out and it can be the HOA.

I am not even trying to disagree with them protesting. These are facts, I am a homeowner and I know for a fact my property in Orlando extends to the street. I also know personally know people who live in subdivisions in Orlando that the HOA owns from the sidewalk out including the sidewalk. BUT this is all besides the point I had also said "lets not squabble over a few feet and start breaking out the tape measure."

But yet you came right back with more retort to point that some people said HOA is not a problem. I maintain it can be but said thats not the point anyway , who cares who owns it. The point as I also stated before is Point is if they keep being a nuisance crowd eventually LE will kick everyone out and lock down the street.

Please I am not trying to argue here, and I am not trying to get into a long conversation over property rights I am just trying to help you and others understand that 1. there could be one more factor HOA and 2. who cares anyway. Property can be broken down into various methods in subdivisions these days but again who cares this is jsut making circular arguments over something that does not matter anway in the long run. Because the whole point to any of this is and I shall say it once more the "Point is if they keep being a nuisance crowd eventually LE will kick everyone out and lock down the street."

As long as they are peacable, protest on.....

and as I said before You know if you owned a helicopter you could hover above there house 24 hours a day if you can get air traffic control permmision, after all they don't own the sky!!! <- absurd argument to prove a point.

sigh... anyway...

Yeah. That is sick. BUT you know the saying....about the accident? It may be horrific but there will still be gawkers. It is human nature to be curious. I'm not saying it is ok....Just I "get" the people out there. They want to be "in" on whateverthehell is going on.

I disagree with you, if they are yelling obcenities at them then they are being disorderly and can be arrested, this is why the Sherrifs office asked them to stop yelling.

 

[hummingmoon]

I don't particularly agree with the way the protesters are doing it...BUT I do think that it is helping to "brake" the anthony's. piece by piece maybe one of them will fess up and divulge info...although I'm sure it will not be KC nor CA but maybe GA or LEE. Mind games is what KC played on LE and the public so mind games is what the family is getting KARMA

I fully agree.. Why are the Anthony's allowed to say all the things they were into the camera which all comes back to every person who watches any t.v. Why can Cindy Tell everyone to get off there butts and look for there daughter, but no one is allowed to say any thing bad to them or Yell it to them from outside there home. They deserve every bit they get. If on day one Cindy Anthony looked into the camera and was crying begging people to look for her grand baby then I would feel sorry for her, but I do not. KARMA,,, BABY
