Something's wrong, huh? It's just so obvious to me. For the sake of their mental health I wish they could see it . . .
Question..
Does anyone know if the Anthony's are Christians & if so what denomination?
I don't think they were "church going folks" until they began attending services at a Baptist Church on the southside of town after Caylee was missing. As I remember it, when the neighborhood association and the OCSO asked them to hold their vigils indoors or in their back yard (because of the protesters), a minister stepped forward and offered his church for the weekly vigils. He was the minister of the church they started attending.
Not sure about the trespassing it has bee a site for CAYLEES memorial for months, and so the did not do anything new.
I think they had one agenda only In Memory of CAYLEE.
Seems the "A"s have deleted, erased, and made a point to make CAYLEE the forgotten victim. They wont even stand up for her, but they dare to use her name in a Foundation that feeds their azzzs. It does not matter if you will put a garden that is glorious there as long as you put up CAYLEE the "A"S will pull it down because they are not getting anyone interested in their foundation, and they have obliterated that child's name.
I agree. Sinply put, there is NO EXCUSE for bad behavior if you are a victim or not. The world is full of victims who behave correctly and who do it gracefully and with dignity. The Anthonys are not part of this list, however.
Sandra Cantu's family
Mark Hacking'a family (even tho it was Mark who did that crime)
Lori Hacking's family
Laci Peterson's family
Polly Klaas's family
Adam Walsh's family
Those are just a few off the top of my head

lin, at no point is that indicated in the article. Anywhere. That's why I asked about independent knowledge. It may be the case; it just is not stated as such.
This is the facet of the Anthonys that has me so darkly fascinated: their inabilty to look ahead and perceive the negative effect their present actions will have on their future. Time after time. If I were the author writing the book on this case, I would definitely expound on that as one of the themes. I don't see them as completely stupid; Cindy is a nurse, and that's a degree if she's an R.N. George, not as much education, but he's not an idiot. And still yet they can't recognize how their own behaviors work against them. How is that possible? Surely people have spoken bluntly to them in an effort to get them to change their M.O. But we see no change. And from a psychological perspective that's interesting. I have to say that in my own life when I had negative results from negative behaviors I did some self-examination and made some changes. Some several times. Point is I recognized that if akashana wanted A, then akashana needed to quit doing B and try C. It wasn't a high-minded thing in any way. It was motivated purely by self interest. I see the self interest in these folks. I'm still waiting on the self awareness.

I believe you're missing the point. The Anthonys don't care what other people think. The Anthonys believe they are a law unto themselves and everyone else is stupid, not having thoughts and opinions worthy of being considered, nor do they believe anyone has a right to do things they don't agree with. They believe they hold all the cards, all the brains, and all the power. Remember George telling Casey (as she's sitting in jail) 'you're the CEO, you're in charge'? That's why they are, always in charge, even with your neck in the noose you're still in charge - magical thinking.
My opinion only
But at some point why can't they see it hurts them? How is anyone so blind? I don't care if they have to play-act their behaviors. They just need to change them. At this point I'm not even talking about the rightness or wrongness of what they have already done. The fact remains that their approach has alienated and isolated them from everybody, and has aggravated those who are in charge of their daughter's life and freedom, and also their own freedom. I think it's bizarre that they continue to make the same mistakes when the stakes are the highest they can possibly be. You don't even have to admit you are wrong to make a change for the better. Simply acknowledge that this isn't working, must try something new. I've only seen this level of obtuseness in addicts and alcoholics, and that is very different, as they have a vested interest in not getting sober (addiction v. withdrawal).
It's not that they don't care what people think. It's that they can't understand how displaying that attitude can only end badly for all of them.

Ummm, yes I do! I can say with ABSOLUTE certainty that I would never behave as the Anthony's do were I to ever be in that situation. Their behavior has been abominable from Day 1- make that June 16, 2008. I don't buy their grieving grandparents act. They act like Lee & Jackie Peterson- whom also lost a grandchild.And please do not say you know for sure YOU know how you would react if you were ever put in the same situation as the Anthony family because believe me you do not know for sure. Not everyone handles something like this the same way. I for one would not ever want to live for even one minute in the shoes these people have been placed in and again IMO by no fault of there own. There daughter is accused of killing her daugher and there granddaughter this is a terrible thing to even comprehend in my own mind. I can only pray for these people and hope that someday they will find peace in all that has happened in this almost a year of living a he**.
Particularly when George so loudly claimed on national television that they NEVER went there. Look at the location. It's at the end of a street that goes into a school parking lot. It's not a common road to travel unless you are dropping off a child at the school. The Anthony$ would have to be going there FREQUENTLY. I don't believe they have any children in that school. It's not like it's a busy intersection or a widely traveled street. Once again, the Anthony$ have lied with straight faces.I know we have discussed and asked why these women would place the cross, but what would compel GA and CA and the Milsteads to go to the site and rip the cross out of the ground?

I would behave more along the lines of the Hacking family, the Unabomber's brother, or Jeffrey Dahmer's father and not give unconditional love and support to the murderer of my grandchild! If my daughter grows up and murders her child- I'll be the first one to turn her in and make her pay for the consequences of her own actions, even if that includes Death Row!!!!!
I always figured it was compensation for having a small brake pedal.
