    ORWEN: Casey Anthony was being arrested again and taken off to jail because of some new charges against her that didn't seem to have anything to do with her missing little girl, Kaley.

    ORDDU: The thing that horrified us the most was the mob of strangers outside the Anthony home's front door. Aside from several policemen and news reporters who were crowding around, there was also a large group of people around, carrying signs which accused Casey of being a baby killer.

    ORWEN: There were also people chanting nasty things about Casey as she was finally brought out in hand cuffs. The police put her in a police car to drive her off to jail. But the streets were so packed with cars belonging to people who didn't even live in the neighborhood, it was really hard for any traffic to even move!!!

    ORDDU: Apparently SOME people out there don't realize that they only create MORE of a problem by showing up like that, making it difficult for the police to do their work. Aside from that, they dare to sit in judgement against someone who hasn't even been to trial yet. Even if Casey Anthony DID have something to do with the disappearance or death of her daughter, that's no excuse for the sort of mob mentality we witnessed last night. Taking such an attitude of condemnation against others is very dangerous. It can lead people down a dark path that they have no idea about.

    ORWEN: We say leave the judging to God and the authorities. If you don't have any direct buisness with the Anthony family, we say leave them alone. They're already going through enough hell as it is. If they're guilty, let God be the one to deal with them...
