Lee Anthony Almosts Hits Protesters

[lin]

It's not my business what the protestors' motives are for being at the Anthonys. They are utilizing their constitutional right to be there, and that's fine with me. I'm amazed these days about how apathetic people are about their constitutional rights. That's scarier to me than anything these protestors could do.

I agree. I hope others take a cue from these protesters and start doing more of it when they see an injustice in their communities.

I can't believe Lee is getting away with everything without so much as a citation. Seems even the sheriff is blaming the protesters for exercising their right to protest and unable to stop them, are allowing the Anthony's to try in their violent, threatening way.

I also can't believe how many have been sucked into the 'Anthony Victim' mentality regarding the protesters. The ONLY danger there is the Anthony's. Until LE stops their behavior, they will keep escalating. I am proud of the courage of the protesters to show up there and have themselves potentially on camera. I do NOT think they are there to be on camera, just as many of them participated in the search to find Caylee, not to be on the news. I'm so upset about the backlash against the protesters, I may be going to join them soon.

EVERYONE should defend their right to protest. Period. "...and then they came for me..."

i DO understand your point .. im not saying i dont .. im just saying no one would get hurt if they stay away . everyone says how dangerous they are .. which yes they probably are .. esp now .. im not defending them im simply saying you cant stick yourself in a pit of cobras and come out with no bites .. which seems like what is happening in and outside of that house

And, 'she shouldn't have worn that' or 'they should have been there, they should KNOW it's a bad area' etc. etc. to let criminals take over areas of our country. Of course, no thinking person would travel through a gang infested area if they could help it, but how did it get that way? Did the gang members suddenly move in, en masse? No. It was a gradual thing, taking over a street, an area...

People say let LE do their jobs. I wish they would. I wish they'd put a stop to the danger in the neighborhood by holding the Anthony's accountable for behavior that is illegal. Protesting on public property is not illegal. Taking property that is not yours without permission and also damaging it are illegal.

But it's so much easier to blame the babysitter - er - I mean protesters for their behavior; write citations to the protesters; get injunctions against the protesters; than to stop the illegal behavior before someone ELSE is killed. Casey started out as a blank slate. Not being held accountable for her behavior escalated to the death of her daughter. Does the behavior of the other Anthony's have to go unchecked until someone else dies?

JMHO

I will join you if we can agree beforehand to act as adults and leave our children at home. Let me know. I want Monoxide there too.


How much confiscated drug money is there?

Personally I would like to write a letter to CPS for the protestors exposing their children to violent protests. I see your point Mono and I understand what you are saying..there is no argument from me about that. I just can't fathom taking children to such a dangerous place to begin with. To me you are putting your child in harms way by having them there. We all know the craziness that has ensued at that house thus far. You couldn't pay me to take my children there.

That being said LA was in no way "correct" for what he did and said. It just makes me sad that these 2 children had to experience the upsetting event, if their parents would have left them at home or with a sitter it would have saved a child some grief and tears. I always think about the children it's just in my nature. I do whatever I can to protect my kids..whether it be physically OR mentally.

I appreciate your concern for these children and I personally think this is a story that kids should be shielded from. However, I would discourage any reports to CPS. While it may be poor judgment on the part of these parents it falls well below any charges of child endangerment. The parents would have to knowingly put their child in harms way and this situation wouldn't qualify. If they were to file charges on every parent who took their child to a place where they "might" be harmed the courts would be filled. CPS agencies tend to be overloaded as it is and have to investigate all reports. This takes valuable resources away from cases where children are being physically or sexually abused.

From what someone posted earlier, the media did not see it and didn't even realize Lee had come home. The protesters who saw it are the ones who lied about the child being hit. Who knows what to believe?

What makes you think they lied? The little girl insisted it was too close to call. How could the protesters have had a better few than her? Lee came within inches of her, at best; the little girl also said she was brushed by the car but not hit. He was close enough that one of the adults was able to reach out and touch (hit) his vehicle.

I read earlier in this thread that he honked his horn. I've not seen anyone reporting that but the one. Maybe that's Lee's claim and not backed up by anyone else? There were more than protesters there at the time; there were news staff, at least a camera person.

that is the basis of one of the arguments this case keeps causing between my hubby and myself. He is disgusted by the media attention, and the protesters. Thinks the A's have been completely tried in the media and it's not fair, even though when I tell him all the evidence he agrees that it's obvious that Casey is an evil B.. He can't stand it when I remind him about the constitution every time he starts his rants about the press coverage, we have to agree to not discuss the case for fear of it causing yet another argument.

 

[tiredofthis]

Who is this infamous OSCO a lot of you continually talk about? I know who OCSO is but am confused on OSCO. Is it a drugstore Casey frequented? Do they sell bulk condoms?


How much confiscated drug money is there?

LOL! I thought about the store when I first read it too.

 

[doortonowhere]

I would if I lived there

ditto. I only live about 6 hours from there and wouldn't mind the road trip, though wouldn't have sitters.. and no I am not taking my kids.

 

[Bobby62]

Sorry, Just assumed you did. I thought you said something about an Orlando MMA gym a few days ago. My bad.

Lee needs a bumper sticker saying "Get all the protesters and Chevys off the streets." He has that late 60's-early 70's muscle car mentality. I guess he is not aware that the muscle cars of that era were considerably faster and more powerful than his retro pony.


What else is confiscated drug money used for?

 

[swanniee11]

I agree with those who felt that these kids should not have even been there and the parents should be charged with child endangerment. This protesting is way out of line. They are not doing anything for Caylee. As for the tombstone, that was just rotten. People need to show compassion for what this family is going through and their loss(es) even if you think they've done something wrong. IMO

Iron Man is a punk. Let the protesters be! The protesters are peaceful the Anthonys are not. The criminal is always the one behind the wheel in matter such as these

Hello, first off let me thank you for reading my email. I am sure you are well aware of the incident going on with the Anthony family and the missing three year old little girl out of Orlando, Florida. It has come our attention that Mr. Lee Anthony seems to be a danger on the road ways. This individual isn't responsible enough to be behind the wheel. We are all already aware of his previous speeding tickets and such. That is fine and dandy but this time this young man has gone too far.

Lee recently aimed his vehicle at pedestrians without concern for human life. This is something that cannot be overlooked. If this young man is allowed to be behind the wheel then something bad is going to happen. I feel truly terrified for those who have to drive the streets of Orlando. Here is Lee's reactions after this insane act.

Lee Anthony said that was what he had been waiting for.
"Yes, for someone to walk into the driveway," Lee said.

I beg and plead that this young man should be no where near the steering wheel of any type of vehicle. Such a careless and dangerous individual should not be behind the wheel of a speeding missile.

Thank you for your time.

maybe somewhere else too probably orlando pd or something

Excellent. Hope it helps.

That is why I put "I would like"..I'm not writing any leters.. just trying to state my opinion on their lack of parental abilities. I worked for CPS for 10 years and am well aware of what is involved and being overloaded hence why I stay home with my children now. I appreciate your concern.

well, now that Cindy mentions CPS...I started thinking about an old case there in Fl with CPS...hmmmmmm

Authorities stated that both women have consistently failed lie detector tests in connection with Rilya's case. Graham allegedly told at least six people that an unnamed Spanish woman had taken Rilya on a trip to New York or New Jersey, after the individuals noticed the child's absence but before the DCF did. She said the Spanish woman intended to adopt Rilya.


*snip
MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- It's now been more than six years since foster child Rilya Wilson went missing, a disappearance that led to a shakeup at Florida's child welfare agency and murder charges against the little girl's former caretaker.
Yet Rilya's body has never been found and there's little physical evidence against the woman accused of abusing and killing her, 61-year-old Geralyn Graham.
Faced with no firm evidence that a slaying occurred and no witness who can definitively identify Graham as the girl's killer, prosecutors have been assembling a largely circumstantial case, according to case records.
Police dug up Graham's backyard looking for clues. They treated rooms in her house with a substance that reveals hidden traces of blood. They searched the house from top to bottom more than once.
"I found absolutely nothing," Miami-Dade County homicide detective Sara Times said in a court deposition.
Despite the murder charges,Rilya is still listed officially as missing by the state Department of Children & Families. If she lived, she would have turned 11 on September 29.

Let me guess, Zanny took Rilya, too? btw, Rilya's name is pretty neat sad, sad story like Caylee's. Interesting the similar claims and that it had been covered on local news.Cindy's spouting about CPS made me recall this case, imagine that.

The article says that they were protestors kids. I hate to say it, but maybe this will teach the protestors to
a) keep their kids out of other people's driveways.
b) if you are going to condemn someone for not taking care of their kid, you should at least take care of your own in the process.
My own opinion.

Exactly. I've been saying it since the "protesting" stuff started. What exactly is the point? Do people honestly think it's helping? If they really want to inject themselves into this case, go search somewhere. Just wondering, the posts about Lee driving like a "" and whatever, is there proof of this? Like I've said before, I'm no fan, but enough is enough.

Lee basically admitted to it and basically said he waited for them to get in the way. One kid was actually being held by the parent. It is the responsibility of the driver. If the kid gets hit and killed its the driver's fault

Well, here's my point. Everyone is talking about this family and how they're insane, etc. etc. But yet, there they are, just milling around in front of their house, virtually antagonizing them to do something. I've said it before and I'll say it again....when someone gets seriously hurt, who's fault is it going to be? The Anthony's for being provoked or the public for doing the antagonizing? These people need to take their children home where they belong. You do not put your child in harm's way and then go ballistic when something happens.
