After some reflection I've realized that there is another reason I do not care for Tony. I thought my dislike was primarily because of his "LongIslandness." I'm trying very, very hard to follow the rules. My intention is not to be rude or cruel. This post is just my opinion.
After reading this thread I think that I'm the only one who feels this way.
Sometimes it's hard to convey what is in my head into words.
Perhaps if I tried a "hypothetical situation" I could tie it in to how I feel.
Let's say my "sister" is following a armoured bank van doing rounds and a big 'ole bag falls out of the back on the van. The driver and person in the shotgun seat fail to notice, and drive away. Sis gets out of her car, looks into the bag and sees a slew of money in the bag. She gets back into her car with the bag and phones the police ASAP, or the bank if the phone number is handy...you get the idea. Returns the money and goes about her business. She prays for the 2 men in that van, and hopes that they won't get into too much trouble.
End of story.
If only...
She then goes home and does her thing, checks her mailbox, listens to phone messages, greets and hugs the dog; all of the usual coming home stuff. Half hour later, just before her husband arrives home the phone starts ringing off the wall, there are news vans all over the place, strangers banging on her door, dogs barking up a storm. Her world has gone beserk. The mayor offers her a key to the city... yadda yadda... Aesop I'm not.
All of this because she's done the "right" thing. Huh?
Years later she meets a toddler in line at the grocery store. Toddler is adorable, the most gorgeous eyes, sweet as can be. Engages with the toddler while waiting on the line to checkout. Her encounter with this precious child lasts all of 10 minutes. The person that is with the toddler is a tad odd but aren't we all?
Three days later she's reading the newspaper and finds out the toddler was murdered and found dumped in a ditch. Perp. turns out to be the person that was in the grocery store with her. Meets with LE every time she is asked, follows every direction/suggestion of the police. Refuses interviews, becomes a pivotal witness in the trial. And for the rest of her life will always feel pain.
Present day. Sis has come to love a child that she has never met. Not once.
Never saw in person. This gorgeous child was murdered and thrown into a swamp in woods.
Why in heaven's name is this young man getting kudos? For what? His cooperation? He didn't sell photo's? His life is ruined for ever and ever? The inconvenience of it all. He was dragged by the hair and forced to have a relationship with the defendant. Evidently, he was using some other part of his anatomy other than his brain, not unusual. I feel that he was smug and arrogant. He wants to get out of Dodge and forget about this whole mess?
This entire post explains why I feel the way I do about Tony and that is...
What about Caylee? What about Caylee? His entire testimony lacked any emotion regarding Caylee Marie Anthony.
