Casey to serve one year probation #2

[rotterdam]

Yep, just ask that whacko church that protests military funerals. They can do it all they want. The Supreme Court said so. Sorry, Casey, you put yourself into this mess, so deal with it. She should not get special treatment because she's hated so much. She shouldn't have done what she did and dragged it out for three years. She caused this mess, now she needs to lie in it. Safety should be her issue, not everyone else's.

Besides, they are many ways to disguise your appearance to a point where nobody would recognize you. KC, IMO, loves to be recognized, feeds her narcissistic ego.
The pictures from Columbus, Ohio, were proof of that.

Where in our constitution/laws does it say you have a right to confront and heckle someone? How can you guarantee some nutjob wont take matters into their own hands to carry out 'their' justice?

If you can guarantee that, then yes, she doesn't deserve to have special treatment.

I didn't claim that they have the 'right to heckle' only that it is the most likely threat or risk.

Everyone faces that threat/risk daily. I can upset a driver on the road and get 'heckled' and risk it escalating. It has escalated, often, into innocent folks getting shot and killed on the freeway.

There are recent incidents of fights and gunfire with innocent people getting hurt at sports games and stadiums. Life is risky.

IMO we perform a dis-service to FCA to treat her as 'special' and 'protect' her ... even from hecklers at taxpayers expense or preclude the treatment everyone else would get.

FCA is not special. There are many Mothers who have killed their children who are out there in the public domain, many high profile. FCA is just yet another child killer.

We as a society need her to make it on her own, to become a productive member and stop coddling her ... she is becoming co-dependent on society and special treatment and that helps neither society nor FCA IMO.

I agree. But I am not convinced yet that Casey will be required to get a job. There will be the expected hoopla about her safety and blah....blah.....blah.....

But, in reality, Casey should be required to get a job. It would be good for her. Also, her PO should actively encourage her to get her GED. A job and that GED would be steps in the right direction toward Casey becoming self-supporting, the way people are expected to be when they get to be around her age. And what better use of this year under supervision than to help Casey get on the right track in life, assuming that is possible.

It would really be a disservice to the citizens of Florida, to Caylee, and to Casey herself if her probation turns out to be one on paper only, with some or all of the rules set aside just because of who she is. IMO.

(I'm curious: Am I the only one on this board who really does not care if Casey's home address is not made public?)

I could not care less either if KC address is private or not. Ditto with the Pinellas jurors. Actually , maybe it would be better if it is kept private out of consideration for any nearby innocent neighbors.

Not sure if I agree with you or not. Aren't we all in danger of some nutjob going on a random killing spree? Is our safety guaranteed at all times? It's not the state of Florida's fault that Casey chose to repeatedly break the law. Why should she get special protection that law abiding citizens don't get? Who is more deserving?

On the other hand, I think it's foolish to downplay the peril she may be in. If some wacko can shoot a peaceful man like John Lennon just for the notoriety, who's to say that Casey, the most hated person in America, is not in danger?

BBM.

If the POTUS cannot be 100% protected and has been assassinated then FCA cannot be practically protected from some nutjob who at some opportunity decides to act.

My point is, this isn't about protecting FCA today, or during probation -- it is about protecting FCA for life ... it could happen just as easily 5 years from now.

That was my point about this is in FCA's and the DT hands to defuse the situ with the media and public and not inflame it for $$$$'s. Sure FCA is not adopting the current strategy and negotiating directly but the DT are doing it on her behalf and ... they are her counsel.

The only solution for me is for FCA to forget the $$$$'s, the notoriety and infamy and reach out to the public via the media and tell a story, do the things that have been stated on this thread that will not only rehabilitate her but will rehabilitate her image.

The more FCA continues on this path, the more she is in hiding and hyped up when spotted/photo'd -- the more she makes herself a target. The more the DT and JB hype up FCA as a prize the more they create a frenzy that can and will backfire.

FCA and the DT are playing with fire and only they can address it ... it is NOT for the State, NOT for taxpayers, NOT for us ... it is FCA alone.

There were protestors and webcams in front of the Anthony home for weeks. People were ANGRY. The few times it got out of control LE contained it.
I didn't like the protestors doing what they were doing,but they had the right and were allowed to ,unless they threatened harm.
Casey went to and from her lawyers office and whoever she had to check in with while out on bail. People hated her then . FAIK there may have been death threats.

Woman who are leaving an abusive husband or boyfriend can go to court and get a piece of paper to protect them. A PIECE OF PAPER! and statistics show that is when they are in the most peril. Why does Casey Anthony deserve more than these women who have done nothing wrong?

Just now on HLN, they were talking about her safety and what a frenzy the public would be in if they saw her. As an example, they showed the famous tape of JVM running along side of JB trying to get him to answer her questions. Then, they said just look at that public frenzy.

I wish they would get real. What they were showing was the MEDIA frenzy. That is who will be in a frenzy. The public will not be mobbing her. They will stare, point fingers, take pictures, and maybe heckle her, but the media will be in her face with their microphones.

Just listening to the TH's on HLN about Casey getting therapy while on probation. Again,another mixed message. Sunny H said the DOC doesn't do a good job of providing adequate mental health therapy to probationers and Casey is in need of help.
But,but,but...........she's only convicted of a minor check cashing fraud :waitasec: Why would they need to provide Casey extensive therapy for that? :maddening:

I can definitely see harm coming to her, but not by just one person. I see it happening as her being out somewhere and she gets recognized, people start heckling her, getting in her face, the crowd becomes bigger -- safety in numbers, right -- and something happens to her in that way, a way where not just one person can be blamed.

So what kind of therapy was she having in Ohio and California? I thought all ON does is sell clothes. jmo

And her wonderful defense teams loves it because they think it makes them
notable. The defense should refuse all interviews and get their notority all on their own without using their client. They are users just like their client and expect payment for their presense. I think there should be a law against attorneys using their own client. They make her promises probably to keep her as a hanger on. They are not doing their client any favors.
I am loosing more and more respect for those people, they are a sad bunch.

I don't understand why the media keeps projecting these theories when they should be telling people to just ignore her because that is what she will hate the most. Act like she's a nobody. She'll hate it. Somehow KC has managed so far. We see a video of her shopping in ON and no one is bothering her. Once she changes her appearance and does not call attention to herself most people will not even know she is around. jmo

bold is mine

Nope, I don't think it should be made public. Great post btw, ITA.

There is an easy answer to that - it's boring! How are they going to attract viewers if they are calm and rational?:banghead:

krkrjx, nope, I don't care if her address is made public or not. But of course the probation crew should have it. Duh. But, I do believe as part of her probation, which should not be any different from anyone else, she should have a job. If her safety is in jeopardy, that's her problem, as I view it. She is the one responsible for the anger other's have toward her.
As I understand it, probation officers help place these people in a job. It might be something she doesn't like, or want to do, but it fullfills the requirement that she work...and that's where I see her having difficulty sticking to.

The media hates to let go of a now lukewarm story and move on to the next "hot" story, fueled by them with their calculated frenzy to make it even "hotter".
If I would see KC in my neck of the woods, I would just ignore her.
Mind you, if I was a server in a restaurant, I would serve her but might secretly spit into her food( or even worse, but no poison) , prior to taking it over to her:crazy:. That would be the extent of my heckling.

I had to find and pay for my own mental health treatment even though it was part of my probation. Florida provides it for their probationers?! That makes me mad.

The media are a bunch of sick pups, IMO. They have been encouraging the hatred since the verdict and it's wrong!

Funny post!

You make an excellent point Rotterdam - the media is who stirs the pot on Casey Anthony as a way of getting viewers.

As Jeff Ashton so wisely suggested - ignore her totally and completely.

(I hadn't thought of the problem for her eating in restaurants...)

They do?
If so, that's right up their alley, letting the State pay for everything.

Like one wearing a HAZMAT suit? :floorlaugh:

Well, I posted it before and will again: She has a talent for photography and that's where her interest lies. Let her hook up with the morgue and shoot photos of the corpses brought in. She will be surrounded by people who don't give a dam who she is. And, I'm quite serious about this idea.
