Question:
How can Americans hate Casey Anthony so much yet support their soldiers killing innocent children?
2011-07-18 20:48:27 UTC
American Soldiers are killing hundreds of innocent people and children all through out the middle east yet you want Casey Anthony to be killed and thrown in jail for MAYBE (you guys aren't even sure) killing her child? How does that make sense? You people don't want justice, you are just filled with ignorant hate and want a possibly innocent person to suffer. How is what she did any different than what the troops are doing?

You have a perspective of the tragedy of war and collateral deaths of children

......here is another with some actual balance to it





I think the public at large chooses which blinders they want to wear



Our press corps, esp. that of former prosecutor Nancy Grace, who tried & convicted Casey Anthony of heinous murder in the press of public opinion long before the jury handed down the verdict, should be seen as a bit of red herring when upwards of Fifty Million Abortions, mostly little more than retro-active birth control for irresponsible sex, have now occurred within our "Christian Nation"



The Center for Moral Clarity succinctly put is this way: "As touching as the post-verdict tributes to Caylee Anthony were, we couldn't help but wonder whether there would be anything near that level of (national) concern if Casey Anthony would of had an abortion two years before her daughter’s disappearance?



To those who consider Casey Anthony a monster today but would have called her a scared woman making a difficult but courageous “choice” if she had had an abortion, we have to ask: 'do you ever listen to yourselves' ? "



Further, how do you feel now that the prosecution knowingly used false documentation to attempt persuade the jury ?

(this mornings New York Times story)



I have little regard or respect to those who disregard the Unborn as "not children" and do not consider ending their life as murder.



Yes, Caylee's death was tragic beyond belief, and we want answers.

However, do not the voices of 50 million premature deaths in the U.S.A. alone not bother anyone any more?

Casey Anthony should NOT have been sentenced to the death penalty. killing someone doesnt change anything. If people need to see Casey Antony put to death, than they need to look inside themself and re-evaluate there life, becuase wishing death upon someone is not what GOD would want. Rather pray for her to seek the help she needs ( obvisouly A LOT of help!!! ) We cant draw so much hatred towards other people. I am not saying that Casey is innocent or guilty, I am only saying that wishing death on someone is morally wrong in GODS eyes..

American soldiers are not children or innocents. No questions asked. However, there are doubts if Casey Anthony killed her daughter.

You're going retro 60's anti-Vietnam war protest is:



1) NOT accurate. Yes, sadly---civilians DO tend to become "collateral damage" during war---but OUR troops go out to kill a deadly enemy.....an enemy who holds NO moral objections to using THEIR OWN LOCAL children often as walking "booby-traps" in aims at killing OUR troops; it's a time honored tactic that came from North Vietnam war strategy.....and it's being done in Afghanistan AND Iraq.



Bear in mind: OUR enemy is one who believes suicide bombers will be rewarded by their twisted version of Heaven; explains why they have NO problem using their children to die in this manner.



2) Seriously misguided--your belief is one the enemy WANTS you to ascribe to. Think more clearly than that. We don't send out military troops to kill innocent civilians, much less their children.



Just because forensic science couldn't legally connect Casey Anthony with the either out right murder or death by negligence of her daughter, Caylee---DOESN'T mean Casey's innocent of either.



What Casey Anthony DID manage to PROVE to the world is, she can carry on quite flippantly care-free---without melting down w/ fear, anxiety and/or worry of Caylee's whereabouts or life and it clearly gets shown us she's quite OK with her daughter's death; there's something sinister and not right about that.



It's ludicrous to compare Casey Anthony with our war troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Yes you are right. Also it is sad that the media will not talk about the soldiers and what is going on yet they will spend all day talking about Casey and what shirt she wore leaving the jail? How stupid is the American public?

I think the American brain is made of donuts and Twinkies!

I am not sure what you mean, im Canadian all I ever wanted was world peace. On another note, Casey Anthony deserves to die and justice was not served.

Americans hate Casey Anthony for killing her own child and getting away with it. The comparison to soldiers doesn't make sense, two different things.

The laws that govern the state of Florida (and most states) are different to those that stand during international wartime. The laws of war were not established by the United States but by international bodies and are upheld by the International Courts in the Hague.



Legally, what the United States has done in the Middle East has not been unlawful. The US has had the support of the United Nations, and has gone about it in the same way all lawful wars are fought (having said that, there have of course been individual cases of war crimes, which were prosecuted according to international law).



Similarly, the laws in the state of Florida could not convict Casey Anthony of murder. There was not enough evidence, and that was clear from the beginning. In America, people cannot get convicted if there isn't enough evidence to convict them. The reactions of a few people have gotten the majority of attention, but anybody who knows anything about law and juries could have predicted that she wouldn't get convicted. None of the people I know were all that outraged by the verdict. It's only the news that's trying to make it seem like there's this huge national outcry. That simply is not the case.



You should really be careful before you spout off a phrase like "You people" when referring to an entire nationality. Your language is extremely offensive. I'm an American who understands international and domestic law, the concept of "innocent until proven guilty", and I don't get hysterical about media-fed court cases. Meanwhile, you just came across extremely judgmental, intolerant, and uninformed about subjects that you purport to know about.

Lol, there's always ignorant people like you out there. Trying to make a connection between soldiers and Casey Anthony. Hunny, they fight everyday for YOUR freedom, so go bury your ignorant self in a hole.

Sadly the media doesn't think soldiers killing innocent children is a big story!

BOMBSHELL!!! The software developer said 84 times was a mistake, that he told the prosecution, yet they did NOT correct the record. The jury never heard that the search was really done once.



People don't care about the evidence, they just want to bash Casey. Why don't they look up Dr. Vass, the one who claims there was a shocking amount of chloroform present. He also dabbles with divining rods, ok? DIVINING RODS. And the FBI guy REFUTED his evidence. This trial was a joke and people are media-brainwashed, pitchfork-toting sheep.



Nancy Grace stirs the THUGS up emotionally with the precious baby girl and devil is dancing stuff. They are also clueless about reasonable doubt. I don't mind if someone thinks Casey is guilty, I DO mind when people say they hope she is killed on the street, or that the jury should be killed. The verdict was just.



Proof media lies/misleads: CAYLEE WAS NEVER FOUND WITH DUCT TAPE STUCK TO HER NOSE AND MOUTH.



Mouth was rotted and bones chewed by animals, so how can they say tape was on mouth? But I covered my dog's face with cloth and tape before I buried her. It is almost universal, people want to cover or close eyes and mouth before burial, not throw dirt in open eyes, etc, Maybe Caylee had mouth open, with death gasses coming out, flies crawling in it, fluid leaking, so they cover with cloth then tape, maybe just tape. THEY FOUND 3 Pieces of tape, one for mouth area, two for eyes? You don't want to kiss child goodbye without closing mouth and eyes by mortician wax, insecticide, and thread, or at least tape or cloth in a panic. I think the body was gonna get moved again to some final resting place, or possibly "cremated".



Expert witnesses said tape was likely applied after death. There was a piece of tape stuck to her hair and side of skull. Expert says tape was probably simply holding jaw bone to skull after decomp. Also, tape sticky enough to stick to matted hair, but no DNA on tape leads one to believe tape might not ever have been on skin. Tape could have come from the bag. Three small pieces of tape cannot be murder weapon by themselves, you would need to tie arms back too, do something else. And there was no heart sticker found on Caylee, that's a fact. But so what if there was?



Dad probably told Casey he would bury child, because she could go to jail for drowning accident, police will call it murder. Casey went along with Dad's plan, did not report death. Accidental drowning MUCH more common than someone killing child in order to have more sex. ACCIDENTAL DROWNING NUMBER 2 KILLER OF KIDS UNDER 5. Casey might have drowned in grandad's pool, he didn't want to lose his house and insurance. Perhaps Grandad had bad fence around pool, or negligent in some other way? Casey could then sue her parents for negligence. Maybe Casey was negligent in some way. You want evidence of drowning, like finding water in lungs? Sorry, you can't have that. The body was rotted.



Waiting 31 days to say child was missing, well because she was dead. Maybe someone was negligent about the drowning because they had drugs in their system, and that's why they waited a month to clean system? Now I don't know this happened AT ALL. But people don't report car accidents, taxes, injuries all the time. People make Bad decisions. There are reasons why someone would cover up accidental death.



Prosecution COULD NOT EVEN PROVE A MURDER TOOK PLACE, COULD NOT RULE OUT ACCIDENTAL DROWNING. Jury was right to come back with not guilty verdict.



Casey's support system is young and socializing, not in her room alone with her. That is why she goes out. Regarding the tattoo, lots of people in this country drink and get memorial tattoos shortly after a loved one dies. "Bella Vita" could be a tribute to her daughter. She certainly couldn't get RIP Caylee at that time. Couldn't wear an ever-popular memorial t shirt. Couldn't put a memorial sticker on her car.



I google bank heists, bullet-proof shirts, ice bullets, and poison pens. I just googled chloroform. Googling is not a crime. "Casey" googled chloroform after "she" saw a joke about it on the internet. Doesn't make her a murderer. 84 times googling is a ridiculous, unreliable number. Do they count reading several search results for the term as googling it several times? Or refreshing page? Or favoriting? Or emailing to oneself?



The reports of a "no regrets" diary entry confessing to a murder are just not true. Look for the YEAR the diary entries were written. The chloroform stuff was insignificant traces that proved nothing. YOU probably have chloroform in your house right now.



Bottom line, NO PROOF A MURDER OCCURRED, NO PROOF CASEY DID IT. NOT GUILTY. Disagree with my theories and opinions about what happened and there is still not enough evidence. Before you sentence someone to death, the dots MUST to be clear and close enough on their own for you to see the picture before you connect them.
