OK I give you that.
Still, decomp, death band, 6 months missing, LE had very good reasons for thinking it.
I'm seriously wondering, (not trying to be a smart a$$,at all) but is there still anyone who believes she's alive? Are there still hardliners out there lurking?
Just curious!
Remember...there is no handbook when it comes to grieving (now that sounds familiar)...people react instinctively when a child is involved...they want to remember the child first and foremost. Yes, they may not have been thinking it all through, but IMO it doesn't seem appropriate to discount their feelings by removing the flowers.
OH and Suzi i totally agree that we all have the right to feel the way we do. I don't think that is an issue, that's what makes the world go round.
Ican't argue with that. But you have to agree that these are not normal circumstances and leaving those flowers at the house was probably not the wisest move, considering what we have seen go on there.jmho of course.
I didn't realize lee anthony owned the home on hopespring!:waitasec:
After the Sheriff's very stern warning, I'm surprised anyone dared to go near the house.
You know, I'm starting to seriously wonder if the entire family might not suffer from Asperger's syndrome. It's as if they don't know how to interact socially outside their own little family hand.
Diane...thanks for making me laugh.
Suzi, I think you are describing two completely different scenarios and I don't think it's a fair comparison. but, I do not argue with the fact that throwing them away was rude, but I am arguing the fact that I understand where that behavior is coming from and I don't think it is all that complex. There is a very strong and deep dynamic going on between the Anthony family and the public and this was just another manifestation of that antagonism. I also am suspect of many of the people hanging around the house and that factors in also.
I've never liked anything about Lee except his looks; however, in this instance, I can't criticize his reaction to finding a makeshift cross with a "Where is Caylee" tee-shirt hanging on it in his parents' yard.
I think he mistook it for a jeer aimed at his parents for their confrontational insistence that Caylee was alive and KC was innocent. Heck, I don't know it wasn't intended to be exactly that.
Since he couldn't be sure either, he should have removed it, taken it into the house--and then into the garage to dispose of it in private. Had he done so, he would have shamed the "jeerers" (if they were that,) and spared the feelings of the well-meaning, (if they were that).
His actions today remind me of his rude and unnecessary) announcement that all the donated stuffed animals had been thrown in the trash because some smelled like cigarette smoke!
His behavior is uncouth, and I'm starting to think that the cause isn't arrogance, or deliberate rudeness--it's simply ignorance. Many critical comments have been made about Cindy's behavior in her front yard, during media interviews, and most recently, her lack of manners during her newly released interview with the FBI agents.
I'm starting to think she (and Lee) aren't ignoring the rules of common courtesy and rudimentary good manners; I think the two of them at least, may be completely ignorant of those guideliness--from the little things like not chomping gum during an interview to not provoking or engaging in arguments or shoving matches in the front yard. They are such an attractive, educated, middle-class family that it's hard to believe they don't know any better, but I don't think they do. IMHO
