All About George

[Gaia713]

can anyone blame him? he has lost a precious grandaughter, his own flesh and blood(I think Casey looks like her dad) has probably murdered her, his son helped cover the crime. his wife is ready for the men in the white coats to come get her, he's broke, he can't go anywhere where is face is not known, and his front yard has turned into a bad version of animal house, i would loose it too in that position.

He needs to look at the cause of all this attention - the fact that his daughter is living there. She's 22. Kick her out. Make her grow up. But then he'd lose all the media attention.

The peaceful protestors I have no problem with.

The peaceful Anthonys I have no problem with. I just haven't found any yet.

 

[Leila]

The protesters have evolved over the past few weeks. Initially the protesters were older, in their 30's or 40's, probably parents themselves. There were a few senior citizens. Some stated that they had spent the day searching for Caylee with TES, and came to protest in the evening. These protesters carried signs and paraded back and forth on the sidewalk or street. These protesters were peaceful and didn't engage verbally with the Anthony family.

After TES stopped searching, the crowd of protesters changed. There were a few signs, but most were just curious onlookers. Some did exchange verbally with Cindy or George.

In the past week, none of the protesters have carried signs. None of the protesters appear to be over 25 (if that). They're all young, probably age 17 - 21. They're there specifically to try to engage the family in a verbal conflict.

 

[Short_Stuff]

On George (and Cindy), they need to do what the therapist told Cindy when she seeked help before. Throw Casey out, take her bond away. The protesters are acting ghetto and should just stand with signs, but sorry I have no pity for George and Cindy anymore. Theyre enabling everyone by joining in on the show. I suggest mental health evaluations for all of them, (and I dont mean that cruel, they need it badly because they arent handling this right at all).

What George and Cindy do as regards their daughter is no one's business but their own. Casey (as much as you all despise her) has the legal right to be in her parents' home. Casey has legally posted bond --

As hard as it is for folks regarding this case to understand, and as despicable as the Anthony family's behavior seems to be to most all who know about this case -- the decision as to what they do with Casey or what they don't do with Casey, isn't up to anyone else but the LE, their attorney and anyone else who has legal authority over this case.

Wow...I don't think I've ever seen this type behavior re: any other case in my life. People have ingratiated themselves into this case as if somehow, this sideshow is happening to them.

It saddens me to see so much hatred spewed all over by people who really don't have all the facts of this case. None of us really knows what the police are holding to their vest...

As hard as it may seem to those of you on this forum, Casey is still within her legal right to stay/live with her parents. She is being watched 24/7 -- she isn't going anywhere. Casey is within her Constutional limits/right just as anyone else would be, were they involved in a similar situation.

Think about what you all are saying, here! You cannot judge someone based on your feelings or opinions! If and when this case ever comes to fruition, the merits of the case will be judged by a Judge and jury. Vigilante justice serves absolutely no one. You don't have the moral right to strip Casey of her guaranteed rights under our Constitution -- as hard as that may be to accept.

 

[Kim Ii]

...the ONLY way you're going to change the way this case is handled, is to change our laws and/or Constitution. Anyone here want to do that?

Those birdbrains ranting and raving outside the Anthony home are NOT serving Caylee's best interests! C'mon. And no, it wouldn't serve ANYONE's best interest at the moment, should Cindy, George and/or Lee, venture out to 'look for Casey.' At this juncture, it wouldn't even be safe for them to do so - they'd be mobbed in a new york minute.

The ONLY place it will matter what anyone else 'thinks' about this case, is in a court of law. Until then, I would hope people get their wits about them and stop with all the nonsense. Whatever the Anthony family is doing, they'll have to answer to it in both a court of law, most likely, and elsewhere.

 

[Elley Mae]

Speaking for myself I make my opinion about whether or not I like someone based on my feelings, and the Anthony's don't act right to me. and that's my opinion.

 

[PrayersForMaura]

I don't know that I could honestly say how I would act in this situation if one of my siblings kids were missing. I'd want to support my brothers and sisters, naturally. We don't know what we'd do, really.

 

[Kim Ii]

Oh, you're entitled to your 'opinion,' alright...that's fair enough! But no one has the right to form opinions and then somehow, claim them as 'fact,' (not that you have).

As another poster has stated on another thread -- it's not rocket science to see that Casey Anthony is mentally unfit. It's not rocket science to see that her family is rather unstable/dysfunctional. It's not rocket science to see that the knuckleheads chanting, raving and ranting outside the Anthony home are NOT in any way shape or form, contributing to anything at all positive about this case.

The absolute nonsense going on outside the Anthony home needs to stop. And I don't care who started what -- reminds me of little 6 year old kids, fighting and everyone else is pointing their fingers at one another and saying, "Well, if she didn't do this, or didn't say that, I wouldn't be doing this."

It doesn't matter any longer who started what -- the childish and downright dangerous behavior of all involved needs to stop.

The Anthony family will pay their dues somehow, some day. They already are, in so many ways. Let the court system and our legal system do what it is designed to do.

 

[DazzlinDebSD]

EVERYTHING CASEY ANTHONY HAS SAID HAS BEEN A LIE!!! WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON HURTING MORE INNOCENT PEOPLE? WHY CAN'T PEOPLE JUST ACCEPT THAT IT IS WHAT IT IS AND CASEY ANTHONY IS THE ONLY POI/SUSPECT? When was the last time you heard of a friend....... of a friend...........of another ten friends....... on MySpace helping a mother who killed their child dispose the body? When was the last time you heard of a Grandparent helping dispose their Grandchilds dead body? Why must people continue to start rumors or throw things out there that are not true just to see if they get a bite???? These are not theory's. These are accusations that are false and will never be proven in a court of law. NO, I'm not an Anthony family fan. These people have been interogated for hours and hours by LE. Enough already!!!

For the most part I agree with you, however I do not think the family is unstable, they are in a situation that would make me come unglued that is for sure, as far as KC I do not even want to say what I think of her.......
Regardless I would not protest an individuals home, my home is my safe place and all should have one. The protesters are crossing the line imo and thier time would be better spent elsewhere.

PrayersforMaura,

That's right -- we really don't know what we'd do. We are all made up differently -- we all have our personal baggage we've carried from our own family history -- that little record player that goes off when things happen ultimately determines our own behavior. We DO tend to REACT under severe emotional impact -- flawless behavior and/or thinking does not happen in most cases where there is severe emotional stress.

Do I think I would behave as the Anthony family has behaved? No, but I would hope that if anything as horrific as this were to ever happen to my family, that we wouldn't be judged by a few hooligans on the street corner and armchair pundits on blogs on the Internet.

But...humans tend to behave like this. I don't know why that is -- we think we have the right to judge others -- and we don't. It's one thing to have an emotional outlet and/or opinion on things -- but when those opinions and feelings start manifesting into other type behaviors -- like the behavior you see with these people outside the Anthony home, then that's different.

The Constitution does not give us the right to stand outside someone's home and harass them -- that's NOT protesting. And again, I have to ask -- just what the heck do these people think they're protesting? You cannot legislate immoral behavior -- you cannot demand certain things occur with this family just because you don't like their behavior.

This family is legally entitled to its Constitutional rights as would be anyone else in their shoes.

I'll get off my bandwagon now...but for gawd's sake, I just wish people would let this family alone. Further, as my attorney husband says (he's not a litigator -- he's a corporate attorney, so let's not get started on that one...grin), he despises these TV pundits who do nothing but further incite the public into a feeding frenzy with cases as this one. It's ridiculous...

Very good post. And as far as people wanting them to kick Casey out of the house, I feel sure that the parents had to sign papers stating that they would be responsible for her welfare before she was allowed out on bond and make sure that she reported when the courts request it. She is not allowed to roam at will.

I personally don't understand how people can vilify and hate someone whom they've never met, probably will never meet and have never walked in their shoes. None of us know all of the facts in this case and we certainly don't know what goes on behind closed doors.

DazzlinDeb,

Totally agree with you. It is so frightfully obvious that something is wrong with Casey, isn't it? I have never once stated that I thought this family's behavior was acceptable. But yet, I do have compassion for them, and that does include Casey.

There is plenty of blame to throw around re: those involved in this entire scenario, from Casey on down. I just wish these blooming idiots outside the Anthony home would leave -- tend to their families, mow their lawns, whatever. The legal and court systems of this country WILL endeavor to bring this case to a close. Until then, this family needs to be left alone.

 

[beetrue]

I realize this sounds horrible, but George said, he is worried about other missing kids not getting enough attention. Okay, as a parent of a non missing child I agree with him. But if my kid were missing, would anyone elses kid matter to me? I know that sounds incredibly selfish, but I just cant imagine where anything else would matter to me. Food, bills, work, your kid, nothing else would matter.

I understand what you are saying. If it were us, in their shoes... we would probably be falling apart or feel like it. that shrinking to the ground in despair, feeling.

I am sure they feel that way. But, it does not help Caylee or any other missing child to let that show. And it must be very hard to not interfere with LE's investigation. I don't know if I could follow their directions of not investigating and questioning people. I would probably be arrested, because I would be a tyrant -turning up every rock. Atleast, that is what I would want to do. But then, I am not there. I might be at home, clenching to my other children being a complete glob of mess. If you want to stay out of jail to keep your loved one's face in the media and where-ever you can, you have to follow orders. I would react the same way towards protestors that they have. Infact, I may have done worse. I know I would want to. It is easier to unleash your pain onto people that act out in aggression towards you first.

I don't criticise KC for her 911 call about the protestors. She knows she has hurt her parents enough and should do what she can-when she can to help them. And if she knows something she is not telling them; like how to find Caylee... I FULLY AGREE SHE SHOULD COME FORWARD AND RELEASE THAT. If she truly does not know where she is, well, then there isn't anything she can say to fix that. We find it disturbing that she did not call LE and the FBI as soon as Caylee was gone. And the lying... Agh...

This is about G. Regardless of being completely tortured everyday with all the "what ifs" about Caylee and longing to find her -empathy is most certainly not a diversion from wanting his granddaughter back. I think going through something like this will only make one's empathy stronger towards others who are and have gone through this.

I know what you mean... I would think my children/family would be my first thought every second. And they are. But, I have so much empathy already for others... like you probably do for Caylee. Being in that position would make me all the more empathetic with others.

yes, and perhaps find jobs!

 

[YellowDog]

That would be a start in the right direction.

 

[DazzlinDebSD]

yes, and perhaps get their GED's so they can speak in full sentences without cussing.
