Another brief video, no announcer, of George and Cindy Anthony confronting protesters at their house. via Anakerie on YouTube.

Yesterday I posted a bit of a rant about the knuckle-draggers who have been protesting the home of Cindy and George Anthony in Orange County, Florida. The positive comments I've received on that post so far give me a little hope for humanity, so I thank you.

I received a tip that a big, "final, GRAND" protest may occur at the Anthony home tomorrow night. Here's the full text of a message published on the Orlando flavor of Craigslist.org (note, that message will likely be removed sooner or later, so I expect the link to be dead inside of a week or so):

Everyone who wants to protest Casey can do it in one final, GRAND show of force.

On Saturday night at 7pm... Everyone come to Caylees driveway with flowers, dolls, cards, etc... create a wall of sympathy FOR CAYLEE and give no attention to the folks who live in the house. Then we all walk away forever. Caylee will have received the memorial service every innocent child should get.

The people who live in that house don't deserve any attention - ANYMORE!

Let the sheriffs office deal with the suspect.

/Turn the page on this tragedy

Will it work? Will the idiots go away? Doubt it. But expect that "GRAND" show of force to get some heavy coverage, at least in Orlando news, if nowhere else.

I close this entry out on a related note: I watched footage on CNN Headline News today of Nancy Grace raging about Casey Anthony's 911 call to police about the protesters outside the home she currently shares with her mom and dad.

Nancy is controversial -- you either love her or hate her, no in-between. In my time as a true crime talking head, the only appearance I ever truly was relieved to have canceled was a December, 2005 booking to speak about the murder of Taylor Behl on Nancy's show. From a journalist's point of view, Nancy is a bit of a nightmare because anyone she has on the show can become her adversary, in a heartbeat. I've seen her make competent, intelligent journalists brought on camera solely to help her tell the story of the moment look like blithering idiots because they were so flustered by her unremittingly angry approach. Before that appearance was canceled, I had nightmares of myself turning red and saying something unprintable and just walking off-camera, which would only have made me look bad, not her.

In the footage I saw today, though, Nancy was making what I found to be a bedrock-solid point about Casey Anthony's desperate call to emergency services a couple of nights ago -- sure, Casey Anthony could get on the phone in a heartbeat to help out mommy and daddy as they went to deal with the neanderthals outside, but that begs another question -- how come it took her a month to report her daughter's disappearance?

Hate Nancy Grace or love her, I don't care, she asked the single best question of the week in relation to the disappearance of Caylee Anthony. I hope it echoes in the heads of a lot of people whenever they hear the mp3 or read the transcript of Casey's call. Casey could get on the phone and call 911 lickety-split when the goons were outside the door taunting her and her family. But she couldn't find it in herself to call 911 for 30 days after her daughter disappeared.

Huh. Go figure.
