From the ‘Get a Rope’ Files

Most Americans remember the tragedy and miscarriage of justice surrounding Casey Anthony. She’s the Florida woman whose toddler daughter mysteriously vanished from her parents’ home in Florida in 2008. The child’s body turned up just down the road several months later, but only after Anthony’s mother reported the disappearance. Cindy Anthony called police after she opened the trunk of her daughter’s car, some 3 weeks following the little girl’s last known sighting. Casey Anthony led police on a long road of deception before they realized she was most likely responsible for her daughter’s death. Casey’s 2011 trial became a theatrical event, as people stormed the courtroom every day, and a slew of legal and media pundits offered their opinions and viewpoints. When the jury found Anthony not guilty of all charges, except lying, outrage became palpable.
And now, just as we got rid of Donald Trump, Casey Anthony has surfaced again – like a mole you thought you’d excised from your face a decade ago. Last December Anthony filed paperwork in Florida to open a private investigation firm. Named Case Research & Consulting Services, LLC, Anthony hopes to help other “wrongfully accused people, especially women, and help them get justice.”
I feel this witch got away with infanticide only because she’s a woman, mainly a White woman, and serves no purpose on Earth.
As the old Texas saying goes – get a rope!

Photo of the Week – January 23, 2021

Capitol Hill police officer Eugene Goodman escorts Vice-President Kamala Harris during Wednesday’s inauguration. Goodman is the officer who was captured on video singlehandedly leading the mob of right-wing extremists that invaded the building on January 6 away from lawmakers. The consensus now is that Goodman’s actions inadvertently prevented the rioters from entering the Senate chamber long enough for lawmakers to escape and find shelter.
