A group of rock-throwing protesters shined flashlights into the windows of the home of missing toddler Caylee Anthony's grandparents and fought with the family early Thursday before trying to drag Anthony's grandfather into the street.
Since Caylee's mother, Casey, was released from jail for a third time, protesters have continued to gather outside the home and become more aggressive. Several people were seen banging on the Anthony family's home and throwing rocks at the structure.
"(We're here) just to protest," a woman said outside of the home. "It's just to break them down. I think they are just protecting their daughter (Casey) which is the wrong thing to do in this case."
Grandmother Cindy Anthony ran outside with a bat in hand when the group began screaming at her husband, George, early Thursday.
A protester then reached over and tried to drag George Anthony off his property.
Local 6 reported that Cindy Anthony was pushed by a protester during the incident.
After the confrontation, George Anthony sprayed down the group of people with a hose.
By the time, officers arrived at the Anthony home, the group had left the neighborhood. No one was charged in the incident but deputies are looking at the Local 6 video.
The group of protesters yelled, "See you tomorrow" before driving away.
Search Taken To Puerto Rico
Meanwhile, George and Cindy Anthony are taking the search to find Caylee to Puerto Rico.
Cindy Anthony sat down with a Univision reporter for a one-on-one interview for the Spanish language TV station.
Anthony said she wanted to do the interview because of the large Puerto Rican viewership and she would like for the report to be played in Puerto Rico.
She said the family got tips about Caylee but could not give details about exactly where in Puerto Rico.
In the interview, Cindy Anthony said investigators told her weeks ago about evidence from the body farm.
According to investigators, the evidence suggests that Caylee is dead.
Cindy Anthony said she believes it was an intimidation tactic.
The natives are getting restless ping..........
These so called protesters are nothing but NAZI SOBs.
Geez...what next?...a rope slung over a tree? I thought the police had stepped up patrols on their street.
castle doctrine
Yikes...This is like a really bad Lifetime movie in the making...Starring Barry Bostwick and Cheryl Ladd, of course.
I think she is guilty as hell, but this is getting out of hand. All the protesters are doing is hurting this investigation. They are like you said, just a bunch of wanna be Nazis.
The Anthonys, althogh despicable, are entitled to be left alone in their own home.
They took one gun away from George. Maybe he has another somewhere?

The body farm? What are they referring to exactly?
Melissa Gilbert must be in it also,
The Anthony family needs to quit coming out and engaging these people. This is what those people want.
If the protesters violate the law like, get too loud, throw things, block traffic, they can be picked up.
It is not unlawful to stand out on the street.
While I think these people know a lot more than they are telling this is WAY over the line. If the “protesters” want to help they can participate in search parties or contribute to a reward fund. They should be arrested for this kind of crap.
I do believe Florida's laws are more sane on this issue.
Reading the headline, I assumed the story was out of Karachi.
> It is not unlawful to stand out on the street.
I bet you’d find that it actually can be, particularly in this context after these lynch mob scenes.
It would fall under “intimidation”.
I think this is great. Americans are sick of the circus-like legal system we have today. In the old days, Casey Anthony would have been hung 2 weeks ago, and O.J. Simpson would have long been in the ground.
