I think it was the idea that some mother could be so inherently evil that she’d kill her daughter, just so she could go party.
I think that was the hook.
It consumes crazy people who have no life. This also happened to Ramsey family after their daughter was killed. All kinds of fools coming out of the woodwork with their theories of how that girl died.
I still change the channel whenever this crap comes on.
I can only imagine Nancy Grace’s reaction. LOL
Maybe the fixation comes from the fact that people are TOO SCARED to even think that our nation is on FIRE.
This is exactly how I feel about the Casey Anthony trial, and also reality TV. Who cares?
I was forced to watch a little bit of this in a waiting room and I almost laughed out loud when they showed people outside chanting ‘appeal appeal’. Are they really so dumb as to think that is possible?
The fascination for me was the jury. They bought the defense story that the child died in the pool and then they put duct tape on her mouth, put her in a garbage bag, and discarded her body in a swamp.
A head shaker, like OJ.
This is the same syndrome that causes people to slow up on the freeway to watch a guy changing a tire. Their lives are so humdrum and plain that even such mundane events as a trial pulls them in. Most people lead unbelievable lives of frustration and boredom. God forbid they should read a book, go to a museum or learn something about the world they inhabit.
I feel its one of the escapes in peoples lives. When your life is better than the criminals you can complain and be in disgust.
How far are we than the crazies. Who has not been bad about their children?
IT IS BEYOND amusing to hear talking heads itch out and over other talking heads. Talkers are just that talkers, maybe just maybe one step above used car salesmen/women, and thus far all those telling US what it is we should be doing or NOT doing are exposing themselves for being IDIOTS.... jealousy is never a pretty thing to watch. THIS for me was never about ‘ratings’, but a flash image of what American society has deteriorated into .... TRUTH is the first casualty of any civil society.
I think the jury was too lazy to think this through. They just wanted to go home to Pinellas county. Her refusal to testify and her damning jail phone conversations are evidence of a guilty conscience.
“...One 96-year-old grandmother in Alabama was so fixated; she knew the names of Caseys entire family...”
I wouldn’t base the American public’s interest on the likes of a 96 year old granny.
My mother at 93 watched the tv listings with the little celebrity interviews scrunched above them because “they have most interesting programs.” Yeah, she had the attention span of 6 month old by that time.
The media pushes these stories to distract from what is going wrong in this country. You wouldn’t know from our lefty editorial board in our paper because Obama’s name is rarely mentioned.
It’s always the ev-e-el GOP.
It irritates me to no end to read and hear how Americans really don’t care when we do, but cutting through the massive propaganda is difficult.
I only know about this because of the last several days - I could give a s_it about a murdering mother and her family. There are thousands of missing children my heart cries for everyday and I don’t know who they are. If the main stream media wants me to watch it I auto pilot off that subject.
I think we want to see evil punished. The fact that the mother was partying, having a good time made her look guilty. 99.9 people would be in deep depression if they were innocent.
Today we see so many people getting away with evil deeds and it makes us mad. We know she will one day face God and he will bring justice. But it’s right that evil is punished here on earth so others will see the consequences of evildoing.
I will punish the world for its evil, the wicked for their sins. I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty and will humble the pride of the ruthless.
Isaiah 13:10-12
uh...it’s easier to understand for most people than the
national debt and deficit?

Casey Anthony's story is not tragic.
Caylee Anthony's is.
