Who, besides me, doesn't give a crap about Casey Anthony?

[Dulcinea]

Does her fate have ANYTHING to do with the fate of the world? Let her go back to the obscurity she deserves.

[Bluebear]

1. I'm concerned that people are being so whipped up that they will harm her or a lookalike

Already somebody tried to run down someone that they "thought" was Anthony. It reminds me of the violence post-9/11 by "Patriots".

I agree with you, the verdict is done. Let her shrink into nothingness.

[no_hypocrisy]

10. + 1

The mob mentality concerns me. Casey Anthony is a substitute for the frothing anger at jobs loss, loss of credit, loss of homes, etc.

[aquart]

2. Me, I guess.

[Angry Dragon]

3. Me

[ellenrr]

4. the media feeding frenzy is annoying if unsurprising

but I admit - as someone who hasn't followed it beyond the headlines I have been unable to avoid - I am curious why the baby's disappearance wasn't reported for about a month.

[whathehell]

23. The defense theory is that the child was already dead via a drowning accident

and Casey, made to feel responsible by her father who allegedly said that her mother would "never forgive her for it"

was "acting out" her confusion, panic and grief.

I don't know if it's true, of course, but the jury apparently wasn't sure.

[dipsydoodle]

5. Me

The amount of attention the subject got was only because you have no employment problems over there and no foreclosure problems with houses etc. :sarcasm:

[cali]

6. I don't get it. I've never had the slightest interest in this case.

[eShirl]

7. It's about as interesting as MSNBC's "Lockup" weekend programming: zzzzzzz

perfect type of story for a lazy "news" organization to cover while understaffed during vacation season

[Golden Raisin]

20. Or pythons in the Everglades

and Ice Truckers. There seems to be an inordinate amount of these topics/shows. Meanwhile the whole country is falling apart. More bread & circuses.

[LuvNewcastle]

8. That was all local news material.

People abuse and kill their children all the time, but each individual case isn't national news.

[marions ghost]

16. Right

Jailing her might make people feel that child abusers/killers are under control. But they only need to look around their own community...

Twisted mom stories sell. :shrug:

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

9. She'll be On "Dancing with the Stars" within a year

or maybe even get her own reality show.

Welcome to 21st century media - where people you don't give a shit about never go away

[B Calm]

11. Yup. . .

[pintobean]

[Shadowflash]

13. Ooo oooo ooo!

[Vinca]

14. It's bizarre the way people have latched onto her.

Yet there's hardly a peep about the poor little boy who was walking home from day camp and ended up dismembered in some guy's refrigerator.

[Shadowflash]

21. It's because

He's not a pretty young white woman.

Hundreds of people go missing around the country every day, too, but the only ones that get the national air time are the pretty, young white women.

It makes me ill.

[whathehell]

42. I've been hearing about it for three days and expect to hear more.

[Pab Sungenis]

15. She's the distraction du jour

and now the media has to find something else to keep people from looking at what's actually going on.

[emsimon33]

54. Yep

[2Design]

17. Media is a lynch mob that is out of control - trial is over - stop trying her on the media

[whathehell]

41. Agreed....Regardless of your view of the verdict, trying someone in the media for 2 years is wrong.

[eilen]

18. When she is found dead in the woods. I won't care then either. nt

[whathehell]

22. Charming sentiment, but might it not be better to say "if" rather than "when"?

for you own sake:eyes:

[eilen]

24. If.

She likely won't be found dead in the woods.
But I'm sure there will be some other COPS worthy scenario.

[whathehell]

27. I'm hoping

she won't be "found dead" anywhere, at least in the near future.

[seaglass]

19. Well maybe it does not have anything to do with the fate of the world but it does have

something to say about justice. When the guilty go free and the innocent are imprisoned.

[eridani]

51. She wouldn't have gone free had the prosecutor not been a media whore

--going for murder one with insufficient evidence. Child neglect, manalaughter and negligent homicide would have been slam dunks.

[seaglass]

55. Who knows, the jury seem to believe that George Anthony was somehow involved.

Not sure she would have been found guilty of anything when the jury had that belief with NO EVIDENCE.

[Howler]

26. K&R

[southernyankeebelle]

28. I wish her all the happiness in hell she deserves. I am not interested in

spending any of my money or watching anything on tv about this murderer. I hope everyoneelse does the same.

[whathehell]

31. How kind and non-judgemental of you!

[treestar]

29. I think it is interesting for the reaction

All of the shows on forensics having the possible effect that more people won't be found guilty if the evidence isn't clear, scientifically based evidence. That could have its effects on society.

[whathehell]

32. The oft-mentioned "CSI effect" on juries may be overstated....

The verdict in the case against Scott Peterson was reached on circumstantial

evidence alone.

[NC_Nurse]

30. right here.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. Casey who?

[cwydro]

34. So you start yet another thread about her...

Lol, I love these type threads.

Been a bunch of them all started by people who "don't care".

[femmocrat]

35. I don't.

However, some of my friends were glued to the trial and it was all they talked about for a couple of weeks. So I learned more about it than I ever wanted or needed to know.

[tammywammy]

36. Me. n/t

[pitohui]

37. have to admit i don't give very much of a crap

from out here in the distance, looks like here we have a lady who knows that we burn witches in america, her child died in some accident, she panicked, hid the body, and ended up on trial for murder as of course she might well have ended up on trial for murder anyway even if she didn't hide the body because when a child is involved, in this country, there's no such thing as an accident

there are lots of stories from my personal knowledge of people being accused of a crime where there was no crime, just a sad story, and i'm more concerned about the people i know who were never exonerated or publicized than about the people i don't know

it's hard to get excited about one more case of over-prosecution, esp. since it appears from my tiny knowledge that she may have contributed to her own over-prosecution -- of course what would really be awful is if her dad (thinking he was helping) or another family member (thinking he was helping) was the one who caused much of this fuss by hiding the body...whole thing is a mess and a tangle!

obscurity, i think, is her best chance to re build her life and i think we do well to ignore this particular sad story, there are lots of sad stories

[RebelOne]

38. I am just relieved that the whole fiasco is over with.

She is out now. Let's just hope she disappears. She had better get plastic surgery. She will definitely need to disguise her looks.

[Zorra]

39. I've heard the name, and heard that she was on trial but haven't paid

any attention otherwise.

[customerserviceguy]

40. The only way she'd go into obscurity

is if the jury had convicted her. You don't see anything about Susan Smith, anymore, do you?

The tabloid press has had a three-year ride off of Anthony, why would they stop now? They'll offer money for pictures of her, etc. Funny thing is, she'll be in just as much of a prison of sorts as she would have been if she had been convicted.

[whathehell]

43. Who, besides me, is tired of seeing threads about "not giving a crap" about Casey Anthony?

For all the supposed "indifference", they do seem

to garner their share of recs and replies.:eyes:

[DevonRex]

48. +1. Nt

[IcyPeas]

44. then why start a thread about her?

if you want her to go back to obscurity, as you say - stop starting threads about her.

[Cleita]

45. Here, here.

It's a story of mostly local interest, so why are the national news outlets dwelling on it so much? I say good riddance.

[spanone]

46. it's the media. the other night cnn has a countdown clock to her release....media creates hysteria

[Philippine expat]

47. She had her trial, IMO she escaped justice

time to move on

[WillyT]

49. Me...

:kick: & Rec!!!

[donheld]

50. You gave crap enough to give it a post

[Amonester]

52. Who?

:rofl:

[ProfessionalLeftist]

53. I don't. n/t

[bemildred]

56. Count me in.

Guilty of being a ludicrous media circus on all counts.

[fifthoffive]

57. Casey Who? nm
