LEE Takes Memorial Away from Front of House

[charo]

I wonder if Lee is staying at his parents home or he is checking their home frequently. Reason I say this is because he just removed the new flowers, etc people placed there today. I also think he is bringing them inside the home and I hope when the body gets the positive ID he places them back outside or brings them to the crime scene.

Couldn'y all the people showing their respect to Caylee bring thire items to the church where the vigils were held.? For all to appreciate. Can you imagine how beautiful the house of the Lord would be? People would be safe to mourn with no ridicule warented or not from the A's. There is extended family that could represent CA, GA, LA. and speak to the public. I think we just want them to understand how much we care!

Headline News (CNN) just reported again about the "shocking" behavior of Caylee's uncle Lee. This is the problem - they call it shocking so people will get worked up about it. That's great for ratings. I think this was blown WAY out of proportion.

 

[curiositycat]

If they are reporting it as "shocking" it's because it's "shocking" IMO. Look, if LA would have just gone in the house and ignored this there wouldn't have been any reporting. It's because he stormed out of the house, per reports and the video, and make a point of angrily grabbing the memorials and telling the reporters to get off their property.
WHY did he do that? It seems to me like he wanted some attention. If not why not just blow it off.
I am getting sick of hearing "We don't know what we would do in their shoes." They seem to delight in shocking people with their behavior!! Like another poster mentioned earlier some of us DO know.
This family loves the spotlight and can't stay out of it for long, IMO.

Whatever happened to the media simply reporting the news and allowing people to reach their own conclusions? :furious:

That's the point exactly. Lee did not 'storm' he did not 'angrily grab' he did not tell reporters to get off the property. That's all media slant.

I watched the video and heard his voice. I thought it was uncalled for. I like to think I am wise enough to watch the news and make up my own mind. In my mind he shouldn't have done that. I am not cutting them any more slack. Sorry...

Most people know that the A's do not want the trinkets etc left on their property (yes, I know it is in the easement, but it is still their responsibility for upkeep and appearances), so in my opinion it is in disrespectful to leave things there and be mad when they remove it. There are plenty of other places to make a memorial for her. Why does it have to be in front of their house? To me it is just baiting them.

Reality TV came into the scene. IMHO
I agree Chilly. I miss the old Tom Brokaw days, when the news was just the news, and was news worthy! Now they are hell bent on making a lot of nothing into something, and I'm not just referring to the Anthony Case!

When would be the appropriate time to remove items that are meant to force the family to grieve in the way in which the person or persons leaving the items intended? If private citizens want to grieve Caylee's demise, I believe they should do so privately. In their own homes. Forcing their grief upon this family is tantamount to slapping them in the face. I find it offensive.

From a number of posts, it would seem many people feel it is okay to torture the family with this reality. While I am all for the Anthony's seeing things as they really are, no family deserves to be forced into grieving in a manner that someone else inflicts on them. Whatever else they have done in the past 6 months, it is a kindness to allow them to deal with this latest information privately.

Baiting them...good choice of words. People know Lee removed the items that were left there yesterday, why leave more unless they're hoping to goad Lee into reacting.

I agree. I think he has the right to remove the items and he did so respectfully in my opinion. Just because others might not have done the same doesn't make it "shocking". I find it understandable. I think the media is looking for anything sensational they can hang on to while we wait for more disclosures.

I agree with Chilly that I think they just need to report the news...not tell people how to react to it.

I personally would not leave a memorial if I were there, and thank God I am not. I don't think that the people who leave memorials think of it as torturing the A's. I think they do it out of love and respect.

When someone dies people tend to send flowers to the funeral home. That's not to torture anyone but show respect.

For those who say "People Grieve In Different Ways" well, thats a two-way street. Those people were trying to be kind in their own way. JMO

You know I am not even sure it was new items. I think they were re-playing the video. Oh...here it comes again on Headline News...yep - still "shocking". I think they are struggling to fill air time...

I totally agree, and do also believe that even if the Anthonys take a complete turn around, they will be tortured then for doing things because the public will say they are faking it. This family is screwed no matter what they do.

I know the intentions were good. I like that apparently people have been making memorials nearer to where the body was found and in other areas that are probably more appropriate at this time. Hopefully an id will be made soon and the family can begin to accept people's gestures for Caylee. Hopefully malicious people will stay away - because that only hurts the many more people who are there for the right reason.

I've been appalled at the way the media has covered this case. Not to take anything away from sweet little Caylee but, unfortunately, other children are murdered by a parent or family member almost every day. Those children are every bit as precious and deserving of media attention yet they barely get a mention in the news. The media doesn't inflame the public in those cases to the point where hundreds of protesters mob the family's home. They don't camp out with cameras on the home 24 hours a day. They're not sticking a microphone in the face of the bereaved grandparents every time they appear outside of their home or analyzing every word that comes out of the grandparent's mouth for some hidden meaning.

People say that no family before has behaved in the way the Anthony's do, and that's true. However, no family before has ever been treated the way the Anthony's are being treated. The media has created this circus and they're all cashing in. It's not about Caylee, it's about entertainment and ratings. It's a reality show at Caylee's expense. It truly sickens me.

These kinds of actions on Lee's part are no longer expressions of denial of Caylee's death. They are blatent disrespect for this little precious baby. He needs to grow up and act like the uncle he was supposed to be to her.

I agree with you - this case is in a league of it's own. Only the Ramsey case could be seen as possibly being a bit similar. Death of a child, with family suspected and hounded by everyone, and national media constant coverage.

I have to admit that I am probably part of the problem though. This case fascinates me due to the mystery of it all. I can't seem to get enough of it. I guess I should go give myself 20 lashings now.... :whip2:

Lee has an anger problem. I lost respect for him when I watched LP get out of the car, first time in Florida, and walk up to the memorial. I remember that no one had been willing to bail KC out and here was LP getting ready to do so. I would have thought LA to be grateful. With camera's rolling I saw LP go up to him and shake his hand. LA was rude and cold to LP and acted like it was just no big deal for a stranger to be putting up the big bucks to get his little sister out of jail. It came across to me as the actions of a smart a**.

I can only imagine what it would be like to have my personal world turned upside down in the way his has been. He has a right to be angry. Not at the public though. He needs to get his behind down to the jail and tell his sister everything he thinks and feels about how she has ruined his life and that of his family.

If I don't miss my bet that's the same advise he would get if he paid for it!
