Anthony Fallout & What is Justice?

The world was shocked yesterday when Casey Anthony was found not guilty of the 2008 murder of her daughter Caylee.

Reactions stemmed from outrage to bashing a shocked Kim Kardashian on Twitter (her late father defended OJ Simpson).

Does that mean I run away?

Many Jackass fans admit that they often wondered which one of the crew would die, likely in a stunt gone poorly and this story simply reminded us all that the men we have watched do ridiculous things for our amusement are in fact, mortal.
