What's in the Minds of Her Mother, Father, Brother Right Now?

[sweetmop]

I think it took a lot for them to go down to the memorial...I'm so glad they did. Notice who didn't have the nerve to show up......"mommy"

I agree. I would think it was very difficult for them to be there. I'm glad they went.
I can't help but really, really feel for them! They've been to hell and back! I'm not sure I could have ever come through it all sane!

I have to admit I was feeling pretty huffy about George and Cindy attending this memorial, so I was ready to be swearing at my computer screen when I watched the video.

Don't stone me, but I found it very sad - both George and Cindy were bawling their eyes out and were acting very humble - it's quite emotional to watch except my video stuck at the five minute mark. I was a bit teary eyed watching it, which frankly horrified me.

LG, I also cried through this whole thing, I want to believe the A's are sincere and going there for the right reason. I am trying to give them today, because I know they loved Caylee and Caylee loved CeeCee and JoJo. Then I watch and I sincerely see GA bawling and hugging the organizer at 1:05, then CA hugs him @ 1:16 and says (not an exact quote, hard to hear) and her first words are "our attorneys are gonna get in touch with you tomorrow, you know that we are backing you, as hard as it is, we are backing you." Now I am thinking, why is the first thing she mentions about the attorneys, etc.? This should be about Caylee, not her attorneys. I am even feeling bad posting this, so, some will ask, then why did I post it? I am not sure. I know today must be very hard for them, I am trying to come to grips with them myself here.... I tried to believe that since Lippmann did not pre-announce they were going here today, it would be about Caylee. IMO, MOO, etc.

What video was that LG? I saw it live on HLN and it moved me because GA was obviously breaking up...he looks like he's aged ten years since the trial started.

ETA nvmd I found it upthread

IMO they are the last people that should show up at a memorial for Caylee.
They tried every maneuver and lie to shelter her murderer and perjured themselves in court to protect FCA from punishment. Members of the public have been more faithful to Caylee than they have ever been.
They are a disgrace to Caylee's memory.

They, and they alone, provided shelter for Caylee her entire life - there's plenty proof of that. People, the public in particular, claim to care about Caylee, yet I think Caylee would be absolutely heart broken to see the way her grandma and grandpa, who had nothing to do with her death, are being crucified relentlessly.

Casey is not in jail for many reasons, none of them because of Cindy and George. Even the jury members who have spoken said the prosecution did not prove their case to fit the charges filed. None have said their decision had anything to do with GA and CA.

That's ok, I think I got stoned enough for the both of us. And not in a good way. :slapfight:

Logicalgirl, it was really sad. I was not going to watch it but your post changed my mind. It looked like it was difficult for the A's to make the walk to the memorial site. Today I have to say I feel for them.

I have mixed feelings also.
But yes, I am a sucker as well, strawberry! :seeya:

thank you. i urge everyone to watch this. i only watched a few seconds because i couldn't hold it together, as i have always felt for the anthony's. my heart is so saddened to read some of your opinions on this matter..you are all perfectly entitled, of course. and i really don't intend to put any poster down when i say that, i really hope that statement doesn't violate tos. i don't intend it to at all. but i, personally just cannot imagine looking at this and feeling anything but absolute empathy.

You know, they just cannot STAND Caylee getting more attention than them. I mean seriously, why not stay at home and quietly remember Caylee on this day? Why come to the balloon release and make it all about them? They just can't let Caylee be the center of anything, can they? It's just sickening.

Ummm, I don't know, maybe they have a RIGHT to be there because they are her grandparents??? Would you not show up to a memorial for your grandchild? I certainly would and I am positive no one's opinion of what I should do or not do would stop me for one hot minute.

 

[suzihawk]

Nope, I will not be moved by the Anthony's tears. :snooty: For three long years these despicable people turned their backs on their grandchild and threw anyone and everyone under the bus to protect their daughter. I really, really thought CA had finally come to terms with the truth when she performed her award winning act on the witness stand. Then she revealed her true self when - so help her God - she blatantly lied to save her daughter's pathetic neck. She conned me once. It won't happen again.

I'm not buying their act - again. They were there to self promote, as always. GA mentions his interest in finding other missing children several times. WTH? Caylee was never missing. Talk of their lawyer meeting with the organizer? What for? They must smell some money to be had.

No sympathy from me.

RAW VIDEO: Cindy, George Release Balloons On Her Birthday

A nonprofit organization is buying the land where Caylee Anthony's bones were found and it wants to build a permanent memorial there in her honor, WFTV was told on Tuesday. George and Cindy Anthony were at the site Tuesday evening to pay...
http://www.wftv.com/video/28816598/index.html

..how not surprised am i that they showed up.

..and of course they each wanted to get in a personal hug with the event organizer, eddie delvalle.

..george: "“i don’t want to take you away from what you’re talking about..."
( guess what george--------you just DID.)

..cindy: "“our attorney is gonna get in touch with you and let you know we’re backing this, okay. as hard as it is, we’ll back this.”
( sure it's hard-------now their cayleefund---- ha$$$ competition.)

..in addition to this being what would have been caylee's 6th birthday-------the event WAS to have been about the plans for the memorial itself----and yet who is getting all of the coverage on the news casts?

..smug shots of the greiving grandparents-----who just HAD to come down 'to pay their respects'.
( of course they did --------there was a camera rolling. )

Thank you for posting this, I hadn't seen it. I can't imagine them not being there to thank the organizer and release the balloons with the people who were there to celebrate Caylee's birthday. God bless them.

I know....I'm so conflicted..or maybe I'm just a sucker.

I will admit to being, let's politely say, a detractor of George and Cindy Anthony. Their past behaviour and actions have been despicable and their motives have been nothing but questionable.
However, one cannot dispute that they loved Caylee in life and she loved them.
Their real tears today force my heart to have some compassion for them ... but my brain is still telling me that tomorrow they will still be George and Cindy Anthony.

Caylee was missing for 6 months.

I didn't think that was what Cindy said at all - but will maybe listen to it again, and okay - I admit - I was a bit more than teary - I do think it was brave of them to go - they could just as easily been booed and have people insist they weren't welcome there.

Okay watched it again, but it was an organizer led commitment - the guy made a point of greeting them in front of the cameras and asking for their support. I didn't see what you saw at all, and I'm in no way an Anthony supporter, but I do see and understand why they would be very very sad today.

 

[RR0004]

I'm going to be kind today because it's Caylee's day. I have my thoughts about George and Cindy showing up...but it's Caylee's day. I'm glad that people were there to celebrate her.

PS- tomorrow is another day to voice my thoughts...hope I make it till midnight.

..exactly----it didn't take long for her to turn off the (fake) snivelling to get in the photo-op with the event promoter---and immediatley bring up her appreciation for-------no wait, their attorney....

..i've also seen their act before--2nd verse, same as the 1st.
