Lee Anthony Almosts Hits Protesters

[Sable]

I bet ther is stuff on her computer. I wish they would come and take it now. She HAS to be IM'ing and MySpacing.I bet she has said something there

Wonder if anyone has bothered to look to see if KC has created a new Myspace?

I know this is not a popular view, but I would say that any other family in this situation would lash out in the same manner regardless of innocence or guilt. Pressure makes people act strange. I'm not saying the Anthonys have a right to attack anyone, but I think the protestors are just trying to antagonize them just for the camera.
Really, think about the 'real celebrities' who have lashed out at the papparazi. Does that make the 'real celebrities' crazy? Although I think the Anthonys should have kept her in jail and avoided this circus, I still don't think it gives these protestors the right to harrass them to a breaking point. And I do think some of these protestors are looking for camera time of a good ole lawsuit.

Mob? I guess you have never seen a mob. I don't see any ropes or weapons. The Anthonys have all those.

Yeah, you are right, they do!!! I keep telling you- that is the whole point!!!- The A's are F@#^ed uP why are these people going back there again and again for?

Watch, tomorrow there will be more people going there just because they saw what happened today with them borderline personality "Moms"!

Where do you get that Cindy called him? Lee has a right to go to his parent's home. Pulling into the driveway is not confronting someone.

Almost hitting a child is assault with a deadly weapon. I think that's illegal. Did he honk his horn. Did he slow down and wait for them to move? Another Anthony who thinks he can make up his own laws.

I know this has gotten dangerous and no place for kids, or adults for that matter. But doesn't anyone remember the 60's everyone protested including the kids.

Alot of our grandparents were miners and steel workers who caused changes to be made because of protests.

 

[Gaia713]

This was the kind of fear I posted about the protesters a while back: bringing kids and putting them in jeopardy of getting hurt. Plus, it makes no sense to go and protest in the name of bringing justice for Caylee, while you put your kid in harms way.

Now, I do understand, respect and accept that protestors have their rights, but dang some of them need to use some common sense. But, regardless, Lee should not have done what he did... besides, he is taking his anger out on the wrong people.

The jeopardy is not from the protesters. The jeopardy is from the Anthony family. Tell them to stay in their house. They can't. They have eto come out and inflame the people - what great media coverage they are getting.

Working with the homeless is quite different than gawking and screaming at a family in front of their house. The first is positive activism that teaches something -- the second... well I'll just say no place for children. IMO obviously.

Were the children screaming? Don't forget Cindy came out and confronted the protesters BEFORE Lee played killer with his car. So who incited the protesters?

I disagree. These children are old enough to see that a little girrl is missing and her mother is doing nothing. Now the mother is free to visit her attorney for god-know-what for six hours a day, and no one does anything. Cannot a child want something to be done?


Contrary to what people think, children are not stupid. That trait belongs to Cindy who thinks her lies are credibkle. jmo

This is just getting ridiculous! WTH are people doing in Orlando? Good Lord! I just totally don't agree with this whole "protesters" thing. I know, I know, it's their "right" (blah blah blah) but give me a break! HOW exactly is this helping to find Caylee? I mean, come on! And if you are going to go out there and make yourself look like an idiot, at least leave your kids at home people!! It's so irritating that people think that it's okay to bring their kids to a protest in front of the Anthony home. I, for one, would not be teaching my children that this is okay. This is NOT how you solve an issue or act when you get mad. For goodness sake!

Regardless of what has happened in this case, the Anthony family minus Casey have lost a beloved child. This is not a game and it seems to be becoming one to these protesters. Let's press charges against George, let's press charges against Lee, etc. I mean, it almost seems like people are waiting to catch the Anthony family (again, minus Casey) doing something wrong so they can nail them to the wall. I'm sorry, I know some of y'all will disagree with me but this is just getting to be a little too much!

Before anyone gets angry over my comments, please understand that I in no way mean that Lee holds no blame. He needs to SLOW the heck down when he's in a neighborhood! But MY children would never be in a situation where this could happen because I wouldn't PUT THEM IN THIS SITUATION TO BEGIN WITH!

(Sorry y'all but I needed a little vent....this case is making me totally COO COO!)

People in Orlando have been helping search for Caylee. Can you not understand their frustration. They are out in the heat and humidity and bugs and swamps looking for a little girl. Show me ONE person from the Anthony family who has been searching for that little girl, dead or alive. jHas anyone seen any Anthony at Blanchard Park where the new story has Caylee "kidnapped" Have they talked to any ZFG - they claim there are so many - yet have they ventured out to talk to any of them. No, George claims the kidnappers are being watched. By who? Not law enforcement, surely.

What a sick excuse for a man. Where I come from pedestrians have the right of way. NO MATTER WHAT. Me thinks Lee has played the video game Saints Row one two many times. Everyone can argue whether the protesters should be there or not. The fact is they were legally there and Lee treated them like bowling pins:

http://www.wesh.com/news/17451811/detail.html

(snip)
Lee Anthony said that was what he had been waiting for.

"Yes, for someone to walk into the driveway," he said.

I agree with you! The Anthony's are are about to blow, we all see how messed up and out of control they are. George pushes an old lady, Leee takes ladies sign and bends it all up and throws it away.. Cindy shakes her hammer at everyone. Yup, they are wacked!

So answer me this- what kind of idiot goes and hangs out all day in their driveway (or side walk) with their kids and expects that things will be peaceful?

As I have been saying all along...

ETA- ME thinks Lee wasn't raised properly and has chosen to follow in those same footsteps in his adult life. Ya done good Lee, yer just like them!

Sorry for this being a long post but I've been reading for several days and finally had to speak up.

There is a higher emotional quotient to this case that is stoked by anger and negative feelings. Those negative feelings seem to be clouding the main issue and spilling over onto not only the family but even some of the young people who had the misfortune to be caught up in a horrid mess not of their own making.

Caylee is missing, presumed dead by a lot of people here on WS and elsewhere. How she went missing or became deceased is the REAL issue. Who did it is the issue. Casey's parents and her brother are peripheral to those central questions. Their support of her and comments on her behalf are fluff compared to the real issue. CAYLEE.

People complain that the Anthony's aren't out there searching in the swamps, but if they were out there they'd find fault with something else they were or weren't doing. So what if Lee Anthony was playing a game online for however long. He's exercising his right to pursue his interests, whether you or I like it or not. If we're going to exercise our right to complain or hold a protest outside his parents house saying "he's not out searching for his niece" then we have to recognize that he has rights as well as do his parents.

Steve Huff has an entry on the case and I agree with what he had to say.
http://www.truecrimereport.com/2008/09/pure_opinion_the_vaguely_obsce.php#more
What I also find obscene, I think, is the obsessive chewing over every tiny, meaningless detail of the circus surrounding the case (parsing the actual details that may point to what really happened is a necessary evil). I find it obscene that people insert themselves into the story -- by going to the Anthonys' home -- surely making it a point to do so when the cameras are around -- by starting fights in the street.

All of us are desperate for REAL news and parsing everything these people do or say is becoming less a matter of sleuthing or being interested in justice than spilling personal vitriol against people we really don't know or have any idea of how they are coping with the situation they find themselves in.

What? Protestors are allowed their rights to protest but the Anthony's should stay inside their house and forgo their rights to enjoy their property, including their front lawn? Or the use of their driveway? They should stay inside their house and ignore protestors.

Tell me something, if this was YOUR house and people were protesting a family member of YOURS, would YOU really stay inside? The response of "I wouldn't be supporting a baby killer in the family" or "I wouldn't be spinning lies etc.." is suppose to suffice? None of us know really how we would respond to a situation like this until we're in it.

I don't like some of the actions or comments the Anthony's have responded with but I recognize their RIGHT to say it. I recognize their right to make arses of themselves if they choose, just as the protestors have the right to do the same. Because IMO that's what some of them are doing. They're NOT going to achieve anything really.

Making life a hell and misery for the rest of the Anthony family isn't going to achieve "making" Casey talk. What they're doing is PUNISHING the Anthony family because they can't punish Casey or have any real affect on her. If they protested the office of whoever allows Casey such lenient time away from home confinement at her lawyers office, maybe they'd achieve something.

There are a lot of people who say the Anthonys should "make" Casey spill the beans.How pray tell? Beat it out of her? Starve her? Kick her out of the house?

Like many criminals Casey is stubborn and refuses to talk because the moment she does she commits herself to more than likely a lifetime in prison. If she's not going to open up and tell LE or the FBI who have skilled investigators how do we expect the family to get it out of her?

The investigators know that when they have enough evidence they can charge her with or without her cooperation. If they find the right evidence, they'll have the leverage to get her to talk. But until they do, what's the family supposed to do? What they have been doing. Support her because she is a member of their family. They can hate the acts she's committed but that doesn't mean they have to hate her. They may not understand her or her reasoning for what she may have done to Caylee and right now they prefer to believe that she hasn't.

I believe that's because like many other parents and family members or friends who find that someone close to them is accused of a crime, they find it very hard to fathom, much less accept that their loved one committed a heinous act.

Bottom line, if we and protesters have "rights" well, so do the Anthony's. Are we all such vicious voyeurs that we want to strip them of their rights?

This is just getting ridiculous! WTH are people doing in Orlando? Good Lord!
(Sorry y'all but I needed a little vent....this case is making me totally COO COO!)

No problem about your needing to vent, but lets understand something here (I too need to vent) Not all of us in Orlando are out there picketing at the Anthony home, bringing our kids to torment the Anthonys and the neighbors that live in that community. There are actually quite alot of tourists stopping by that home. I see so much Orlando bashing these days - sheesh!!!

No matter what the Anthonys have done or what have not done, I also feel the protestors need to get away from that home, and away from that neighborhood. Think of the poor people that live on that block, in that neighborhood. What they have to live with now is a horror. Imagine coming home from a hard day at work and seeing mass chaos around your home? I am sure its not anything that anyone of us would want to deal with. I also think that LE needs to start ticketing those protestors that are bringing their kids out with them. Kids should not be at the Anthony home. They for the most part (especially the lil ones) dont even know what it is about.

There - I have vented as well Thanks for listening!

Wonder if anyone has bothered to look to see if KC has created a new Myspace?

I have seen people here discussing it but I don't know if they know for sure.

 

[sharpar]

this isnt about what is legal or anyone's rights . Its about a few parents

allowing their children anywhere near the home of people who have

consistently demonstrated a depraved indifference towards humanity .

LA whipping in the driveway has been captured on video many times

their granddaughter is missing and most likely deceased and their

daughter is out on bail for criminal acts with more charges

likely coming down the pike .

The site and that family are unstable and dangerous and no one

much less a child should ever be in close proximity to them under any

circumstances .

 

[mollymalone]

I am by no means an Anthony supporter But let's be real here.

How many people in our own neighborhoods "whip" into their driveway or down the street?

 

[texasgirl]

:clap: I couldn't have said it any better!!!

This won't be popular but imho we need to leave these people alone.

Firstly, the protestors are putting Casey right where she wants to be "The Center of Attention".

Secondly, I would rather be out looking for Caylee or handing out flyers rather than sitting on someones lawn screaming "baby killer" or getting in fights. What good does this do? They are going to get someone hurt, their actions are upsetting a whole neighborhood for what? Do they think it's going to make Casey talk? Nah she's hanging at the pad w/her man Baez munching on Brownies, chatting on myspace! She doesn't care!

The protestors get to go home, sleep in peace and come back, they don't have anyone breathing down their neck 24 hours a day like the Anthony's do. What we are seeing is a family that is totally exhausted and on the verge of a mental breakdown. How do we expect them to get past the "denial" stage when they can't even get out of the defending their home stage! They need some space and some time.

Instead of a little compassion these protestors stand outside and provoke them so they can brag to their friends or be seen on tv. I ask why aren't these protestors at the attornies during the day where Casey is? Is it because Casey is going to get in the car and be gone, they would only see her for a few seconds and they would not get any attention? At the house they know George, Cindy or Lee might come out and engage them, give them some attention. It's sick!

Cindy, George and Lee should be told to ignore these protestors or they should go stay somewhere else for a week or two; undisclosed. These people loved their grandchild and have no time to grieve. Maybe if they could clear their minds, come at this situation fresh they could get Casey to talk, remember something that would be helpful, be able to deal with the "idea" that their granddaughter is dead. I just don't think they have had any chance to digest it. Some space could help them refresh and change a dynamic in this case some how. It's hard to imagine what they are going through. Sometimes being on this web site is overwhelming, I have to go spend time w/family, go to a movie or dinner; just get away. Remember they are living this 24 hours a day. It's a total different perspective then we have "peeking in when it's convenient to us"

PS: I know they haven't done everything right, I know they are bringing some of this on themselves etc...don't need to argue that. I just believe sometimes even when we are wrong, compassion can go a long way!
