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

[Little Black Dress]

Wow, so many things to say....just can't get it all into one reasonably short post. For now, I'll reserve my thoughts/opinions on the Anthonys themselves and their involvement in yesterday's 'event' for another day.

In the meantime, however, I just wanted to share my reaction to the video from the event (link posted earlier in this thread).

For the record, I only got as far as 1:30. When the words "I want the Anthonys to know that we're behind them 100%" came out of the mouth of the organizer himself, I clicked it off. That was all I need to know about this organization, its leadership, objectives, sincerity, and common sense. It will get no support from me. Ever.

Chilly Willy , I admire your gentle disposition. Wish, I could be more like you, giving folks the benefit of doubt. However, on Caylee's birthday, I even get more fired/inflamed about all the nasty and the incredible insensitive things the Anthonys have done to date. Almost to the point , remember I said almost, that I feel sorry for KC growing up in that hell hole.

And in this instance, I think they should have stayed away from Caylee's place. I remember when Caylee was found there, and the Anthonys were eating crab puffs at the Ritz Carlton after getting back from CA. They did not even take time then to stop by where Caylee was found prior to their fancy dinner.They heard about the discovery on the plane, instead of being devastated , they were stuffing their collective faces with fancy food.
What normal person can eat, let alone swallow at such a time, unless they knew all along Caylee was dead and were already over it.

And so many other things like saying to Zenaida, you are no ten, that is just cruel and many many other nasties. I better stop. Before I get on a roll and get banned.

I saw no video of the A's actually eating at the Ritz, did you? You say no normal person could eat or even swallow - how do you know they did, let alone stuffed their faces? Maybe they left their plates untouched. If I recall correctly, LE asked George and Cindy not to go home because of the public outrage. I believe LE even escorted them to the hotel. They did not choose the hotel, I'm sure it didn't matter to them at that point whether they went to the Ritz or to Motel 6 while they waited to learn if the body was indeed Caylee.

There was nothing they could do at home, LE didn't want the burden of protecting them while they processed the crime scene. What were they supposed to do other than be among people and try their best to hold it together while they waited?

What is in george and cindy's mind ?

How about trying to get 450.000.00 out of anderson cooper to be on his new show.

Bad news g&c, no one wants a book deal or and interview or your help finding kids.

Please speak for yourself. If I had a missing child, I'd be grateful for George and Cindy's help in trying to find the child. I would also read a book written by Cindy.

 

[Chilly Willy]

OK more sarcasm. No, not at their pool. That is up for bids to collectors , like the Pontiac Sunfire and other macabre memorabilia.
.

I don't understand your sarcasm. The A's haven't put a single item up for bid. Sarcasm or not, your comment doesn't fit the facts.

 

[DViola]

i am trying very hard here. i really, really cannot see anything wrong with ANYONE supporting the fight to find missing children. perhaps you can explain to me what is so wrong about that? it's very difficult for me to understand the positions in this thread, i really am just reduced to tears.

I think alot of people just don't buy GA and CA's position. According to the defense, Caylee was never MISSING and GA was involved with hiding the body. How can he be a spokesperson for MISSING children when he (according to his daughter) was part of the cover-up and disposel of a MISSING child??? I don't get it! Who would want there help?? I believe they might have loved Caylee at one time but saving Casey's behind trumped that and Caylee was a distant memory. How sad!

 

[pip]

G and C are 'victims' of their own making. There are several legit missing child advocates that get my support and sympathy who are the TRUE victims. G and C are just jumping on the bandwagon to make money and avoid getting real jobs, IMO. They are accessory perps in my mind, not victims. I am nauseous when they make their 'cameo' appearances. I want them to go away and crawl under the same rock Ms. Anthony now lives under. They have been sucking from the teat of the country for the last 3 years under the guise of 'stress disability' all while cruising, buying a pretty new red jeep, etc. and now they want to you to donate to their 'cause' straight from your pocket. Have at it sympathizers. Insidious, selfish criminal mentality, right before your eyes. It runs deep in the Anthony genes obviously.

So because the defense threw outrageous unproven accusations at George he should just whither up and die? Hide himself in his home and never show his face in the light of day? If it helps George to feel that he can do something for other children, who is it harming? I would gladly accept their help and support and I don't believe for one minute that Caylee is a distant memory to either George or Cindy.

 

[Aedrys]

I have watched them for three years and I have nothing but contempt for them the majority of the time. On the few occasions when they haven't been lying, dealing photos of their grandchild for $ or perjuring themselves in depos and court testimony I have felt their sadness at the loss of Caylee, but she deserved SO much better behavior and SO much more loyalty from them,and as far as I'm concerned they sold and lied their relationship with her away.. They should have been seeking justice for HER from the day they were aware she was gone, not scheming, covering up and trying to implicate others when they knew the murderer was FCA. You have to earn respect, no matter whose grandparents you are.

ITA. I think some people are being way too harsh on those of us who don't see CA and GA as Caylee's angels. They weren't. She was a pawn between them and Casey when she was alive, and they campaigned against innocent people and people like TES who were trying to do the right thing and help them when Caylee died. It was all about protecting princess Casey at all costs. Cindy even smiled the day Casey was acquitted, like it was a-okay that her granddaughter's murderer wasn't going to face any justice, like an acquittal proved Casey didn't kill Caylee. I am disgusted by these two money hungry parasites that are now getting involved in a memorial that should be Caylee's memory, but instead, they see dollar signs. Why else mention their lawyer at all? Why put all the attention on themselves being there instead of letting it be about Caylee and what happened to her?

That being said, I'd love to believe they were there for a good reason. I do. I think there are real feelings of loss here. However, I've just had compassion for them too many times and been disappointed in them and their actions, and also myself for being a sucker, to have any more compassion for them. They have proven over the course of the last three years that their need for money and attention outweighs their love for Caylee, and I'm sad to say that. They have proven that the almighty dollar and Casey mean more to them than Caylee ever did.

And if it was my child's memorial, I would stand with everyone, no extra attention on me. I would not make myself stand out and put all of the attention on me. I would quietly be there, mourning my loss, not making picture taking opportunites and getting my face in the media. The memorial would not be about me, but my dead child. The A's are incapable of just letting it be about Caylee. They have to make the focus themselves and what they went through. This memorial project should not be about the A's, it should be about Caylee. Yet, there the A's go, making it about themselves, and their lawyer will be in touch. What the heck do they still need Lipmann for at this point? The trial is over!

I saw their performance at trial and fell for it. Then Cindy got up there and lied, and I felt like I was punched in the face. She hadn't changed a bit. It was all a show to get sympathy for themselves and Casey. And George has gone along with everything Cindy has done this whole time, which makes him just as bad as her. I won't fall for it again. They want to keep living off of Caylee, and that is just not right to me.

 

[HOTNTX]

I don't have any problem with Cindy and George attending the memorial.. I don't think they did it for attention, if anything it seemed almost like a peace offering to the community. For the first time in a really long time they became one with their community, I think that's a good thing, a healthy thing. It was probably a difficult thing to do.. swallow their pride like that. I honestly feel like the trial opened Cindy's eyes and snapped her out of her denial.. IMO it was her need to remain in denial that was keeping her angry. I'm glad that they have come this far.. I hope they continue on this healthy road to recovery.

BBM. Why would CA purposely lie about the computer searches on the stand if the trial had snapped her out of her denial/anger? And IIRC, Mark Lippman made his "usual" appearance later that evening on many of the HLN shows to state that CA still "insists" that she made those searchs for chloroform.

Or are you speaking of since the trial has ended?

I think the Anthonys know what the public's perception is of their family is, including <mod snip>, and they have a "foundation" and possibly a book deal coming down the pike to "sell". MONEY is their greatest motivator now. Prior to that it was covering ,<mod snip> murdering behind.

They are pariahs, they know we know it and that is what they are trying to "rectify", so that we, the general public that have great disdain for them, will BUY it.

I wish that they would just go away...give us a chance to forget them and their despicable daughter and how much DISHONOR they have allowed regarding precious Caylee with their actions over the past 3 years. Stop having their attorney show his face everytime that they fart or fly off on a private jet. It just reinforces and reopens old wounds to those of us that find them to be despicable. (And that is the least offensive word that I can use without being put on time out here).

I do respect your personal opinion...you've definitely given the Anthony's the benefit of the doubt. Me....not so much.:snooty:

 

[Aedrys]

And if they want to do something in Caylee's memory, it should be for murdered children, not missing children. That drives me crazy because Caylee was NEVER missing!

 

[Kimberlyd125]

I would not want to be in CA and GA's shoes for one minute. I'm sure they would LOVE to go back to their lives before their daughter killed Caylee.

I think what's on their minds as they see another birthday pass is that they MISS Caylee and LOVE Caylee and would love nothing more than to hug her and sing Happy Birthday to her and see her smile and hear her voice.

These people are not EVIL grandparents who are thrilled that Caylee was killed so they can cash in. These are mourning Grandparents who lost the love of their lives.


My heart breaks for them.

But they thought she was. She was missing to them.

What difference does it make if they try to help missing children or murdered children? The fact they want to help children is a good thing IMO.

No one has ever said they were thrilled Caylee died so they could cash in. Instead, Caylee was murdered, they went into denial and trashed everyone, and saw money making opportunities as time went on and pursued those opportunities. I think they do miss Caylee and wish she hadn't been taken from them, but it hasn't stopped their greed and need for attention. They are not evil to me. They didn't kill Caylee. But there sure as heck helped the actual murderer get acquitted, and they haven't been shy about taking up the spotlight and making money along the way either. That's the problem here. Caylee's death should NEVER have been looked at as opportunity for anything for them but grief and sorrow. They should grieve quietly and give the world a rest from them instead of hogging the spotlight everytime Caylee's name is mentioned in front of a camera. That is what bothers me.

And fine, let them do something for missing children. But it does seem hypocritical to me when Caylee was never missing (and no, not even to them either. They knew Casey killed her and lied and covered up for her). And they haven't really helped anyone but themselves in supposedly helping missing children yet. That isn't right to me.

BBM: BINGO ! Exactly !

How can George "show his face in public" after that "performance" by the DT -- as well as the Anthony's -- that he was involved in "molesting" his daughter as well as involved with the "cover-up" and "disposing" of Caylee's body ?

How can Cindy "show her face in public" after "perjuring" herself on the stand for CFCA ?

This is just one of the reasons the Anthony's should NOT -- and NEVER -- be "spokespersons" for "MISSING" children ...

MOO ... Also ... I believe the Anthony's KNEW when they got the Pontiac from the tow yard, that that SMELL was human decomp ... and it was their granddaughter.

Therefore, they KNEW Caylee was NOT "missing" ... they knew she was gone ... ah, but where was the body ? Cindy knew -- remember what the Anthony's did to Tim Miller and TES ? And that right there is ENOUGH for me !

MOO MOO MOO ...

 

[grandmaj]

Nope not buying the grieving grandparents. They trashed LE, they lied, they covered up and they lied on the stand to get their daughter off.

Helping children? NOPE it is a business for them. Their lawyer already said that they can't work so they have established a foundation in which they will collect salaries.

They will live off of Caylee and never break a sweat to do it. Traveling first class air just like they did to Texas last week with what might be presumed to be some type of deal signing

I feel sympathy for people who suffer a loss and do the honorable things to honor that child. Not to make a living and be in the limelight.

I have suffered serious loss in my own personal life and I get up every single day, go to work and earn a decent living. And I'm older than the Anthonys. Why can't these two people work? It is an excuse. The trial is over their daughter is free they could work.

I don't buy the grieving grandparents. They would have done the right thing in helping put the killer behind bars and done the right thing by Caylee.

Are the A's making a living and being in the limelight?

I've not seen that info anywhere. Are they collecting money? If so, from whom?
What is the limelight exactly? Attending a memorial for your grandbaby?

 

[pip]

After Cindy's treatment of Tim Miller and TES...REAL missing child advocates... She wants to join the ranks? Give me a flipping break. All she did was block their efforts to protect Casey...and disparaged the organization all the way through. She has no shame. This is a money making venture 100%, disguised as a Child Advocacy Foundation. They will lure in the uninformed and the weak minded. Just calling a spade a spade... Common sense alive and well in this poster. This country seems to be losing grip of that tool... look at the 12 jurors who freed Casey. Pretty scary.

So if you believe the A's are trying to help the missing and that they are not just using this as a money making venture, you have no common sense?

Sorry, but I disagree.

 

[grandmaj]

The A's according to Baez have signed a book deal. It was stated at trial. The A's have started a new foundation that their Lawyer is out there giving press to. The A's refused 250K for their first interview because it wasn't enough, and are waiting for a bigger purse.

I never said the Memorial was being in the limelight. But I do find it interesting that Cindy told this man that she would have her lawyer call him. For what? What could Lippman possibly have to say to this man?

It is my sincere hope that their foundation flops just like the last one. Because not one ounce of work was doing for missing children. What have they done?

Just make sure he gets a working phone number on the missing billboard for YOUR child. Couldn't even do THAT for Caylee. What possible help could he be? Helpful like he was to River Cruz??
