George Anthony Headed to Jail For Assaulting Protesters?
September 07, 2008
George Anthony, father of Casey Anthony and grandfather of missing three-year-old Caylee Anthony, freaked out on a group of protesters today and allegedly pushed two of them - a young man and an old lady - because they were standing in front of his house.
I was not on the scene when the argument occurred; however I did locate both victims of the alleged attack and they agreed to talk about it.
Watch the interviews here: http://www.youtube.com/user/crimewriter74. Please note that they contain coarse language, not intended for minors.
After I uploaded those videos a witness to the events sent me a link to video of the alleged assault. In the video you can see George push the male protester; however the camera does not get a very good shot of the alleged assault on the elderly woman. You can view that video here. As with the other two, it contains coarse language, not intended for minors.
As you can tell from the videos, both of the alleged victims are thinking about pressing charges.
In related news, the sheriff's department was on scene when I arrived, busy handing out tickets to anyone who drove by and honked the horn in front of the house. They were also giving tickets to motorists who were blocking the road.
I'll have more updates later, along with an entry about my activities from earlier today.

David: You know I just do not understand George whatsoever. He is a former cop. He knows the laws inside and out so why is he covering up for Casey or if he isn't why is Cindy and/or Lee (the brother). George knew it was against the bail release of Casey to have a gun in the vicinity of Casey even but he had one in the car trunk. Cindy knew not to wash the clothes from the car especially since she stated "it smelled like there was a dead body in the damn car" and then stating it was pizza covered with maggots. To me they are all covering up big time what has actually happened to Caylee.
Caylee is the most important person in this three ring circus or four ring circus. She is the person they should be very concerned about and not Casey or themselves. Cindy stating about feeling Caylee is in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Texas; and that she has phone records from Casey's cell phone showing phone calls from the supposed nanny. It is funny the police didn't see them. What is it, the cell phone company makes numerous records for each month with different numbers and calls for the same dates. Next, they will say they are being billed two or three times a month by the cell phone company per cell phone.
If and when they find Caylee's body they will blame it on the media and the authorities because they did not do what this so called Zaneida Fernandez-Gonzalez instructed that had to be done, and then they will try to sue all the media outlets covering the story and all the authorities involved in the case.

Thanks so much for your updates!! Again, I want to apologize that I didn't have addresses. I still can't pull up the documents for some reason. Looks like others pull up the slack though..thanks everyone!!

Thanks for your good work, David. I'm not in suupport of protesters on residential streets for any reason...however, I do believe George has no business putting his hands on anyone else so I am in support of assault charges being filed. Those folks need to search for Caylee's body instead of protesting. The more needed, the better. That child deserves a proper dress and burial. Pray for her to be found.

I think they should file charges. Maybe just MAYBE it will be the straw that broke the camels back and they could start talking, not Casey obviously but the rest of the family
Posted by: G | September 07, 2008 at 10:54 PM
I wish these people would leave that family alone.

Things are getting so crazy there! I agree with the right to protest but it should be done in a peaceful manner and they should NOT disturb the other residents or block traffic. George Anthony should take his anger out on his daughter, Casey, for causing all of this. She can end it all now by telling the truth and giving that poor baby peace. The Anthony's have directed their anger at the police, the bail bondsmen, the reporters, the searchers, EquuSearch, the protesters, etc when they should be directing it at Casey! She caused this, she can end it. What's that old saying, "Don't shoot the messenger"?? Come on Anthony Family, get a grip on reality once and for all and demand that YOUR daughter tell the truth. Caylee deserves to rest in peace! Geez!

Other clues I had forgotten about: (there are so many)
-did I hear correctly in the very beginning (July 16ish) that Casey had racked up $40,000 plus on her mother's credit cards(while they were on a several week vacation in July)
-what does she have to show for this spending?
-were returns made at any stores (did she get cash back)
-did the grandmother (Cindy) really wash a pair of pants that she thought smelled of the same foul order as in the trunk?
-was it ever confirmed that mother, father and brother (and friends) had NEVER met Zanny the Nanny though Casey claims she employed her for over a year and a half?
-why did Casey need a "nanny" if she hadn't been employed since 2006?
-why did Casey call her a nanny and not a babysitter? (they're not upper class)(I am a social work and psychology
student)
-did Casey really lead detectives to Universal Studios only to have a security guard not recognize her and after she still got in, took them down a hallway to show them her office to which she finally said "I was lying"?
-did she really make a comment in the bounty hunter's presence as she looked around and said "well, I guess I'm a celebrity"?
-is it true there is a children's book entitled "Zanny the Nanny"?
-is it true her and family talked in code when the first jail cell calls were recorded? (can't find this)
-did anyone ever decifer said codes?
-is it possible for an orthopedic nurse (Cindy) to know the smell of human decomposition?
-is it possible (as grandmother claims) that a cadaver dog's hit was due to the child urinating?
-did I also hear correctly that Casey had stolen money from her grandparents (the one's in the assisted-living facility)(report stated she was able to somehow from the numbers on the check she received as a birthday present)and that is one of the reasons Cindy was so angry when she made a MySpace comment about her daughter stealing LOTS OF MONEY.
Every time I think I have a theory, and I have several, I get stupified again. But, I am not a professional. I do, however, know this:
She either killed her or she didn't.
She either knows what happened or she doesn't. (but won't say which, and has lied)
Given both of those scenarios,it is possible that she really had an accident and though she doesn't tell that and clear herself, for some reason wants to lie about the truth. (attention may be important that clearing herself and staying out of prison). It is possible the child was really kidnapped and is alive and Casey is still not cooperating. It is possible she sold the child (new parents may not want to come forward as it is illegal I believe). The child could have been involved in child pornography and may or may not be alive. It is possible that she hasn't a clue as to what happened (other than maybe was incapacitated when she let someone she barely knew watch her child, for instance)but loves the situation in America she is creating, making her look like the murderer. It is possible, of course, that she did do it or helped directly, and is still acting guilty (for lack of a better word, you know, not ever asking about her daughters whereabouts)
and doesn't mind looking guilty as she thinks she will still get away with it. It is possible (nobody knows all the possible fantasies)that she doesn't care if she gets away with it or not, but just loves the fame and ofcourse, the way things like this go, the fortune that is going to go with it. Nobody knows how long ago she planned all of this, if, in fact, she did. We can't look to her behavior now, though abnormal as it is, as to what happened. If, she cares about herself only as others suspect, then anything is possible. Now, we need the clues to lead us to one of those possibilities. Sorry for being so long-winded.

I cannot believe this family! George pushing people, trying to show his "masculinity". How pathetic. Look at where Casey came from!! Look at her parents! No wonder she is so screwed up! He is acting like a true pig of an "ex"cop. How dare he push people around - and this is not the first time!! They will hide in shame for the rest of their lives. It is truly a shame that they continue to support their daughter with all the evidence mounting against her. Either they know a lot more than the rest of us, or the are in pure denial. Personally I believe it is the latter.
God Bless, Caylee Marie
Rest in Peace
Posted by: lindsey | September 08, 2008 at 12:16 AM
That is just sick. This man's granddaughter is missing and likely dead. He either has to come to terms with the fact that she has been kidnapped, or else killed by his own daughter.
How would YOU react in that situation?! That man is going to have a heart attack. He is so far over the edge. The protestors need to leave them alone. What good is it doing? It just makes Casey more determined to NOT talk. If they would stay away and give poor George a break, maybe something would actually happen!
If they press charges then they are the lowest of the low and I hope one day they get to have the tables turned. I've been on that end of the media and it's not fun.
Totally pathetic. They protest in front of his house, disrupting the peace and then gets pissed when he's pissed at them?!
What is their address? I'd like to go protest at their house and see how they like it.

Thank you, David, for the updates. You have the most current news of all. CNN, Fox, etc. do not have any of the information that you have come up with! Hasta manana!
Posted by: ladysheila | September 08, 2008 at 12:48 AM
I think it's really sad that people are so insensitive to the pain that the Anthony family is feeling right now. To have a missing loved one is the most agonizing feeling in the world...and I speak from personal experience. My baby granddaughter was missing for 10 weeks last year when her non-custodial mother absconded with her and took her halfway across the country without my son's knowledge. For 10 long weeks we had no idea where our little angel was and, believe me, it was utter hell. My heart goes out to the Anthony family in this very stressful and painful time. They certainly don't need protesters and nosy reporters hounding them day and night when they are already at their rope's end. I pray that little Caylee will be found safely and soon and that all those who sit in judgment of the Anthony family would step back and let this poor family search and grieve in private. May God bless them all!

David,
Thanks for the updates. Will you wait in Orlando for the area to dry up a bit for a few days, or will you be returning home?
Posted by: PlacidMoonpools | September 08, 2008 at 02:28 AM
What is the story behind the family not GIVING A PIECE OF CAYLEE'S CLOTHING to police or the searchers???!!!!!! What, pray tell, is the Anthony's reasoning for THAT?! Personally, I love the Cat and Mouse game the cops are playing with the Anthony's~ SQUIRM! YOU BABY KILLING RATS!! SQUIRM!!! And I like the protestors... keep the heat on! Hey- I wonder- if I can order a pizza and have it sent: TO THE PROTESTERS -THE ANTHONY'S HOME IS ON HOPE SPRING DRIVE IN ORLANDO RIGHT? Now if YOU readers want to SEND some pizzas TOO there will be plenty for all the hard working news crews AND POLICE OFFICERS as well!! We can send them CHINESE FOOD tomorrow! I know a place that delivers...WE CAN ALL DO OUR PART!
That deal for L. immunity was given to Casey only because the cops knew way back THEN about the habitual cloroform dosing of the kid- and they wanted to find the remains.
WAIT! I have it! Casey OD'd Caylee. She found her dead in her car after a party. She brought her home to bury her in the backyard under her playhouse. While shoveling- brother Lee came out and said "No- bury her under the stairs" So they dug her up and tried the 2nd location- then Gramps George came out... He complimented Casey on her new TATOO then he said; "Noo! Let's get some gasoline and cremate..." So good little homemaker Cindy said "We'll make this a Tailgate party- and brought out some hotdogs and fritos, and threw the dead baby in the back. Oh this family is driving me crazy! Thank the Lord Caylee is with the angels and waving "bye bye" to them all... That's the happy ending to this- That Caylee is safe away from these maniacs. WATERBOARDING is too good for them- pull their fingernails off...

I'm sick of the Anthony's not facing reality, I'm sad and sick to my stomach about little Caylee out there rotting like an animal - but I'm really sick of all these people gawking and standing in front of these people's home - not only for the Anthony's sake - but good God there are innocent people who live in that neighborhood - give them some peace. I have an autistic son and if this was happening in my neighborhood - I would have been turning the hose on these people by now and I would have done a lot more than push a BIG young man or nudge a yelling, screaming older woman...press charges my foot. Go volunteer at a shelter or a food bank, doing something for the greater good - not this. People are making this a vacation stop -- that makes me SICK. Screaming and yelling in front of their house, is not going to get a break in this case. If Padilla getting Casey out of jail didn't encourage them to talk a little in the privacy of her home, yelling strangers are not going to break this family.
Posted by: Icywit | September 08, 2008 at 08:35 AM
Really and truly-no matter what is going on in the Anthony home we can all assume it is traumatic and anxiety driven. The Anthony's have not been involved in this (until we find that they covered up evidence/information relative to this case)we can at least allow them to live in their home with some kind of civility. Those people are concerned citizens and thoughtful people but they should not be hanging around a volitile situation. The Anthony's home has dysfunctional and corrupted individuals in it-who wants to hang out there? Would you have a meal there? Absolutely not. They are doing everything possible to build a case both for themselves and Casey. They can't do it at the jail because they have no privacy. Let them build their case and the Sherrif's Office/DA will build theirs. Let the law of the land prevail and we will patiently and prudently receive justice for Caylee. Caylee needs each and everyone of the protestors to go home and return to their lives with dignity. While they are out there there will be delayed justice and heartache all around. Casey is not amenable to treatment so why get upset at the fact that she isn't talking-she's getting pleasure from all of the attention. Get out of there so we can all see some sanity amidst the choas! These people are a disgrace to us all.

What would George do if some one put their hands on Casey, Cindy, or Lee???? I'm sure he would be mad???? Thank your daughter for putting your family through this... You all know what the truth is and covering up does not help. Casey was excited that the serech was called off. But she does not need to get settled. You blame the media and everyone for what is going on thank your sweet little Casey for all of this.....

Zanny the Nanny is in the book, Double Trouble Squared. It looks to me like its a children's mystery novel written in a two book set. Those at the Anthony home causing grief are not protestors because they are disturbing the peace for the whole neighborhood. They need to be arrested. Those holding signs about Casey murdering her child should be careful of slander since she has not yet been charged. These protestors have managed to make me sympathetic toward the Anthonys like I had from the start, despite the old pizza remark.
Posted by: Sherry C. | September 08, 2008 at 09:38 AM
I'm trying to get a handle on the timeline and haven't read any clear indication as to where Casey Anthony was when Caylee first went missing.
Was Casey out of the Anthony home those almost 30-days from June 17 to July when she finally admitted that Caylee was missing? Is that why Cindy and George had no idea that Caylee had been gone almost a month? I cannot fathom that, living under the same roof at that time, the grandparents would not know that there granddaughter was missing.
So, if Casey was not in the home during that time period, then where was she? Who saw her? Where was she staying? Somebody saw Casey from June 17 to July when she finally admitted that Caylee was gone. She wouldn't have been invisible.
If Casey was in the home, then George and Cindy would be complicit. They were involved in the disappearance of Caylee because they weren't actively seeking answers from Casey as to the whereabouts of their granddaughter.
I just don't get this.

Thanks for the updates David. I've been visiting daily for news.
I have embedded your video in a post (a couple different ones actually) but made sure to link here. If you prefer I just leave the link and take out the videos, let me know and I will take them down.
Anyhow, I tend to agree that George should have kept his hands off of people but on the flip side I can understand that his life is crumbling around him, their daughter is lying to them as well as the rest of the world and they are distraught about having lost their granddaughter...AND there are #@$%^ hanging out in front of their house screaming and carrying signs. I'm surprised he didn't bash someone's head in with the hammer.
Judging from what I read earlier today the protest out front may be illegal under Restricted and Prohibited Public Assemblies. Obviously that's something lawyers and judges would need to deal with but were I the Anthony's attorney I would certainly be talking to the sheriff about that. "You don't press charges against my client and we won't push to have charges pressed against these 'nice' folks"
The protesters have no business being out there every night and if they want something to do with their useless Jerry Springer lives maybe they could help with the search for Caylee, who is after all, what this is all about in the end.

IS THERE ANYONE THAT CAN CHECK TO SEE WHAT WAS DONE TO VERIFY NO BODY IS UNDER THAT CEMENT SLAB POURED IN THE BACK YARD ON THE FOURHT OF JULY WEEKEND. OH YEAH AND CANT SOMEONE CHECK TO MAKE SURE HE HAD A PERMIT TO POUR IT. AND ARE THEIR PERMITS FOR THE SHEDS. NOT SURE IF THAT IS REQUIRED IN FLORIDA AS IT IS IN N.J., EVEN A PERMITE FOR THE POOL.

koodos to the protesters!!// i understand what someof you are saying, but if they did something to caylee and there wernt protesters, they might thing they are getting away with it...they need to keep the pressure on and they need to know we are not giving up!! Dont let them relax- but we must also be looking for caylee. the protesters keep the media going and this is a good thing if no media, she would soon be forgotton... IWILL NOT FORGET!
Posted by: desiree | September 08, 2008 at 01:18 PM
Lady Sheila, I KNEW something like this was going to happen - especially George Anthony, the "ex-cop" getting physically violent with anyone who says anything he doesn't like more than once! Cindy Anthony keeps insisting Caylee is alive, no matter what! It shouldn't be a TOTAL surprise that these screwed up parents produced such a screwed up monster of a daughter!
It makes me sick to my stomach that a family can be so out of touch with reality and believe problems can fix themselves!
Posted by: Lisa | September 08, 2008 at 01:53 PM
To the lady who was recapping the facts of the case. She wanted to know about the phone calls and how they were speaking in "codes." Actually there is this guy who plays conversations backwards and extracts what they are "subconsiously" saying. I found it on utube. It is under the Caylee case and under something like, "it's the dogs." Frankly, it is very strange and I can't imagine how this really means something. It is very creepy. Check it out.

This is Florida and temps inside a closed-up car can reach 120 degrees or more in mid-summer. I work in a pizzeria and believe me, pizza does NOT rot and get maggots. Pizza simply dries up like a piece of old toast. I believe she probably left a sleeping or sedated Caylee in a hot car while she went shopping with someone else's money. Being afraid of the rath of her parents, she wove an intricate web of lies to try to cover her butt. I believe Caylee was put in a dumpster somewhere and now rests in an Orlando landfill. It is most likely she will never be found. However, law enforcement will prove Casey is reponsible and she will eventually be brought up on charges.
Posted by: WL | September 08, 2008 at 03:17 PM
By the legal definitions of "assault" or "battery," I believe charges COULD stick. With the video evidence I've seen, it's pretty clear that George and Lee Anthony both committed assault and/or battery if those people were lawfully assembled. BUT, a lawful owner of property is allowed by law to use reasonable force to expell a trespasser. I don't think George used unreasonable force so the question for me would be; "Does standing on a person's driveway constitute trespass?"
If the folks were trespassing, then George had a right to remove them. If they were legally occupying the space where they stood, he committed battery.
On the other hand, Lee does not own that property. He is more likely guilty of battery because he tried to tear the sign from the woman's hands. Unwanted physical contact defines battery and includes contact with items connected to the person battered.
I think that is probably why Lee left with police officers yesterday. He has no legal defense for his actions against the woman, who was standing on the roadway when he snatched and tore her sign. If George is charged, I think he probably has a legal defense of removing trespassers.

I honestly think she killed the little girl and if she did do it she will get hers GOD will punish her for sure. The news update just recently said that reporters saw her and her brother giving each other a high five and laughing while going to see her attorney's office. I personally think her whole family now knows the truth cause they are helping her and too concerned about her safety and not the safety of her child it seems like everyone is and has given up on finding Caylee and that is so screwed up. When they find out the truth about what happened to Caylee her mom needs to get the death penalty.
Posted by: Ebony | September 08, 2008 at 03:55 PM
First thing, dont think that I'm protecting the Anthonys in one way or another, I just want you to read and think about this.
Let us all stop and think how we would be feeling, acting, and saying to those who protest if we were in the Anthonys position. Yes feeling can make one do and say alot of things. I do know if I was in the Anthonys position, I would have been in jail by now for assult and battery on some of those protesters. Nobody out there knows a darn thing except Casey and God himself. Who gives you, the protesters the right to say or act like you are doing? You dont know what went on, all you know is this beautiful child is missing and the mother isnt saying where she is. So here comes the * known it all* protester in you and the words and actions start flying. How would you feel if you were in their shoes? Yes I know, you would MAKE your daughter say where the child is... Maybe Casey doesn't know.. Ever thought about that ? The Anthonys are protecting what is theirs, Casey and little Caylee. Yes in all honesty the sweet angel is most likely dead, with all the proof showing up in the car. But people, it isnt up to you to say what is what and who is wrong. God is going to hold everybody accountable for their actions in this case. You PROTESTERS need to GET a LIFE, stop with the know it all attitude and leave these people alone. They have enough to worry about without you trouble makers out in front of their lawn yelling shit that you dont even know if it is true or not. You say you do know it is true that Casey killed Caylee ? Bring the body in and show us . When you do show us the body of Caylee, I will gladly appologise to you and buy you a megaphone for your next protest.

This case unravels more and more every day. Pay day always comes. When this all comes together and the police arrest Casey Anthony for murder, don`t be too surprised if George Anthony is involved with hiding Caylees body.This whole mess stinks more than the trunk of car that Casey was driving. And by the way, since when do clients spend 8 hours a day at their lawyers office. Seems like Jose Baez has nothing more to do that play patsy with Casey.
Posted by: martha | September 08, 2008 at 07:00 PM
Why do my comments not get posted? I have attempted to post 3 times, and NONE of them show up! Those Anthony's are getting what they deserve for covering up for their Pathological,
Sociopathic murderous daughter. What in the HECK do they expect? When and if little Kaylee's body is ever found, every single one of them has blood on their hands! Most families fall apart when the authorities say "WE believe your missing child to be deceased". Not the Anthony's, Oh no! Kaylee's still alive they say. I say they are buying time for themselves, knowing what happened, and possibly believing that she will NEVER be found! They all could use a Psychological evaluation, and treatment.
Posted by: Susan | September 08, 2008 at 07:16 PM
The sad thing about all of this is Caylee, no one knows if she is alive, or dead, or where she is. All we know is her mother is a complete liar and has so many stories she should of took Creative Writing in College instead of parting all the time and not taking care of her daughter.
The one thing that really annoys me are the people standing yelling at the Anthony's with thier children in tow. They are sinking to Casey's level of imature parenting and need to get a crip on thier own life and leave the Anthony's alone.
The one thing that we all have in common in America, is inocent until proven guilty. None of the accusations from the OCSO or the Media have been a proven fact in court, and charges brought against Casey. Until then, the pathetic excuse for a mother does have rights, and they are being violated by other Americans by harrasing her, calling her a murderer, and a baby killer.
Everyone needs to just ignore Casey, as all you are doing is giving her the attention she wants, and craves for and making this entire case worse. Leave her alone, ignore her, give her no response to her lies, he cover ups, or her pathetic excuse of mothering.
Let it go, go use your energy for other things in life, like finding Caylee or other missing children. Once Casey does not have the attention all focused on her, then she will crack under pressure and do something else stupid.
No one cares about Casey, so go find Caylee, search every field, park, dumpster, and lake. Find the little girl, and just leave the Anthonys alone. They enjoy this to much, that is why they come out and fight with the protesters, no one in that family can shut up, so ignore them until they say something worth listening to like where is Caylee.
Caylee is the only one who should be on the news.

This is a personal tragedy and now everybody that has nothing else to do with their own lives find some reasoning for trespassing and abusing this family... Casey Anthony is not a harm to anyone else.... not a serial killer or danger to any other children yet you might think she is the night stalker oh by the way they never bothered the Richard Ramirez family this way....I wonder may be because he is a guy or the devil...
Posted by: Monica | September 08, 2008 at 10:36 PM
I can't believe that the police aren't doing anything, knowing the situation there, an angry mob and these people backed into their houses, not only the Anthony's but their neighbors as well. Those people need to stop taking the law into their own hands. I say George should do a countersuit for whatever. This family has many issues they're trying to deal with. I feel that George is probably the only one that is perhaps normal in that he is at least showing some emotion, whereas the rest of the family haven't so much as put a wrinkle in their faces from sadness or grief. If i was nearby i would help in the search and not be an angry protester, disturbing the peace and being a nuisance, etc. Yes we all want answers but the way its being handled now is very dangerous. The police need to stand guard and keep the angry mob from going crazy. That should go without saying. My heart breaks for the grandparents and Caylee, wherever she may be.

Dear David, Thank you for wading (pun!) directly into the
search with the same dedication you have shown in your
persevering research and categorization. As another person
wrote, you have provided us consistently with detail unavail-
able even on the best of stations. In addition, you were
so on the ball and on the spot (each and every one of them,
truly a field person) while in Orlando. You must be
exhausted and somewhat sad thinking about the scene behind
you, a mystery that may not ever be completely solved
and a family systems drama of the most serious type,
whether dysfunctional or not. In Court, a lot of liars
have passed me by, including Scott Peterson, whose case I
was lucky to attend, but I have never seen as implacable
a liar as Casey Anthony, even though her lies are often
so incredible. I truly hope the Feds and the County will
soon release the full report and that this does not
become another Holloway case as, I believe, Casey has the
same need for attention from the opposite sex, and complete
lack of conscience and inability not to lie as did Joran.
And, even Greta came to believe HIM! Again, thank you,
David. And your organization for letting you go out there!!!

Give a stupid, narcissistic, homicidal dog enough rope and they
will inevitably hang themselves. Law Enforcement are holding evidence cards close to their chest; there is much that the public doesn't know yet. Why take a quick 2nd degree murder charge/conviction when they can dig a little deeper and get a 1st degree murder/premeditated conviction and yes, Dorothy, Florida has death penalty for crimes like these.
May you rot in hell for eternity, Casey Anthony!!!!!
And no more pain or tears Caylee Marie. You are where you'll be loved forever.

We can sit here and speculate all day long on the theories. What we do have is facts: Tests results show a decomposed body was in the trunk of that car. 2. Traces of chloroform were found in the trunk of the car.
Police have indicated a stain (no mention in any documents what kind of stain) Dirt-(Unsure of how much, what kind, etc.) DNA has had to come back by now and I'm sure we will hear about it soon.
Let the police do their job and we can do our job as citizens and look for Caylee. HELP WITH THE SEARCH! The faster we find Caylee the faster we can bring a close to all this.
Let's not judge the grandparents. They have lost their granddaughter and without a shadow of a doubt that has got to be the hardest thing in your life. We can all sit here and say what we would do, could do or say....but when it comes down to it we really don't know unless we have been in that very same place. They are human. There daughter might not be....but she holds the key to the answers...without her they may never know what happened. When you don't have the actual body itself you want to hold onto anything you possibly can to make this nightmare go away. You want to believe that there is a "Possibility"...that she is alive. It's called "Denial". I don't think Cindy/George Anthony is crazy...I take that back...They are crazy for her granddaughter. They raised that little girl. I just say this from the bottom of my heart....give them peace, give them time. I do believe the authorities are not going to give up on Casey Anthony. They have evidence that we, the public just don't know yet. As the days go by and Casey keeps putting her foot in her mouth, they will come to realize. One day...her lies on top of lies will unfold and she won't be able to lie anymore. As a mother of a 3 year old, I'm so frustrated...I have to do what I can in order to bring Caylee home.

I understand that some people find outrageous that protesters go and "disrupt the peace" at that neighborhood but I believe this must be done in order to drive them nuts until they decide to speak. Only then, the protests will cease. Support the protesters!

Search the swamps! Casey was only buying time for the Alligators when she did N-O-T-H-I-N-G about Kaylee's disappearance, but tell lies, and lead everyone who do care on a wild goose chase!

I think it's really sad that people are so insensitive to the pain that the Anthony family is feeling right now.
I'm sorry, but are you retarded? Insensitive? Anthony's are reaping what they sowed. If anything, IMHO the pressure needs to increase to the untolerable level, so these scumsuckers either fess up, or go to jail for whatever reason, like picking on old ladies.
At this point and time, they are ALL baby killers. One, because she really did do it, and the others, because they are enablers.

I think...they should leave the family alone.
OBviously she is out on bond.. again.
Whatever happened to being innocent until proven guilty.
I think if all the eveidence was against her she would be behind bars and stay there..but she's not. Yet.
No matter what WE think...it is up to our legal system to prove that. What good are the protesters doing there? None.
I agree..the grandfather is going to have a heart attack.
I cannot imagine the strain that must be on him.
If Casey were my daughter..I am not sure how I would feel,
listening to the stories she is telling her parents, and feeling like I could not believe her. Yet in my heart, I would want to believe her in the worst way?...
Those protesters remind me of those lynch mobs you might see in an old western or something. It's crazy. Why don't they do something useful themselves..and maybe search for Caylee?
Instead of causing more pain and chaos in front of the Anthony home. I am sure there is plenty of pain and chaos already in that household.
Sure there might be alot of us saying she is guilty.
Maybe some of us saying she is not.
But all the cards are not on the table,
and we are not the law.
So why do we judge her?
There are lots of thoughts flying around out here about what happened and I believe everybody hopes for the best for little Caylee and her family, even if we might think the worst...
Give it time, let our legal system do it's thing.
So with that in mind, keep searching for Caylee.
It's ok to have an opinion,
That's human.
But meanwhile, get the mobs off the lawn.
Thats just wrong.

Maybe the protesters should move to the courthouse, or in front of the jail,or maybe in front of the judges house.

Ok, I have to say, I was there during the chaos on Sunday night and through the vigil. I can understand all the frustrations of the Anthony's, but they provoke the situation, by hanging outside, putting up "no trespassing" and tape while protestors are out there. They could have someone else do that for them. Although that area taped off from the sidewalk to the road is public property. I went to see the house after spending 3 long, hot days, drove over an hour to volunteer search for Caylee, in 105 degree weather. Needless to say, I am quite sunburned. I actually followed other volunteer searchers over to their house. So what I am saying is, WE were out looking for Caylee for days now, sacrificing us spending time with our children,while they sit in a/c, watching movies, etc...and have nothing but harsh words and NO THANKS to the volunteer searchers. There were about 8-10 volunteer searchers out there that night. I was NOT protesting, but I am just amazed, as I feel they don't want anyone to find her, for some reason?????? The Anthony's are provoking the situation to make it worse, by their actions and words. I can't believe the bond was not revoked when George hid his gun in the wheel well????/ Judge being bribed????? Any other person would be back in jail. Why is she getting "special treatment"???? And I hope battery charges stick, as George provoked the situation. He was the one that walked toward them and then shoved them, as they were on public property and into the street. I was there. They should put ALL of the ANTHONY's in jail for witholding information. That would solve the problem.!! George needs to be held accountable for his assaultive behavior. I will still be praying and searching for Caylee. I am glad Caylee is not with that dysfunctional family anymore. She's has to be a lot safer now, and in peace. This is such a tragedy!

what I don't understand Cindy & Gorge got an attorny to stop the midia and they Don't want more people around the house but they do have web pages for donation if they don't want people to give an opinion then they should not ask for donation . Cindy attorney was on tv saying is not anybody buisness . But it is cause people have help in the search and people have given money to the family so that makes peoples buisness . I pray for no one else to give anymoney I don't think Cindy and Gorge have worked since this happen and I think if they don't want the midia now and they want to stop the circus they created them self then they should not ask for any donation .and handle it with there on money.
do not give them any money that little girl is dead ,dead, dead and I don't think the body will be found cause she put it in the garbage and is long gone Casey must be laughing when she see all the ediots trying to find Caylee and she knows she will never be found . It is a joke and nothing but a Joke I wander why Tony Lozzaro has his roomate talking for him how much did he pay his roomate why he is hiding why can he speek for him self why he has to send a friend to talk it makes it look like he is hiding something
