"(Casey Anthony) killed that baby, and she is a criminal," a crowd chanted after the 22-year-old mother of missing Caylee, 3, walked out of the Orange County Jail.

Officers responded to the Anthony family's Orange County home after people began to rip signs and throw punches at each other. A man was seen being struck in the face by another man outside the Anthony home.

"You are all big and bad to kill a baby, but you can't come out and face us," a protester yelled when police arrived.

"You people hold signs that mean nothing, and you know nothing about," another person in the crowd yelled.

Several neighbors said they are fed up with the chaos the case has brought to their neighborhood.

"We have been putting up with this for six weeks," a neighbor said. "My kid can't play outside, and we can't leave the house without people trying to run us over."

Some people said they refuse to leave the Anthony house or neighborhood until Casey Anthony is returned to jail.

"We are going to be here every night until she comes out (with the truth)," protester James Harris said.

Several sheriff's deputies remained in the neighborhood after the fights.

Motorists Battle Car-To-Car

Earlier Friday, motorists outside of Casey Anthony's home yelled and battled car-to-car.

After Anthony arrived at her parents' home in Orange County Friday, motorists stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic near the property began to yell at each other.

"I don't think she killed her child at all," a driver yelled out of his window. "I think she may know something but I don't think by any means she is a baby killer."

"Good for what?" a motorist yelled back at the driver. "She has to go to jail because she doesn't want to say where her baby is. That is so trifling."

Other drivers also attacked Casey Anthony and her release back home.

"I think it is crap," motorist Kalin Bowles said. "There is so much evidence against her."

Some people were standing across the street from the Anthony's home with "Baby Killer" signs.

A baby was videotaped holding a "Baby Killer" sign Friday.

Men Wedged Through News Crews

Friday morning, Casey Anthony was rushed from the Orange County Jail by two men dressed in black after her $500,000 bond was posted by her parents.

The bouncers cleared the way, Local 6's Todd Jurkowski reported.

A woman in the crowd yelled "baby killer" as Casey Anthony walked to a nearby black sport utility vehicle and another applauded her release.

Casey Anthony was wearing a black hat and a T-shirt featuring a picture of her missing daughter, Caylee.

She arrived at her parent's Orange County before 10:45 a.m. and was driven into the home's garage.

Casey Was 'Voracious Reader'

Orange County Corrections official Allen Moore said Casey Anthony did not cause problems while she was in protective custody and that she was a "voracious reader" behind bars.

"I found out she was a model inmate, not creating any problems for staff or making any special demands," Moore said.

Anthony had no direct contact with other inmates while at the jail.

Moore said Anthony was in her cell much of the day and read.

"She was a voracious reader of books from the jail library," Moore said.

Moore did not know which books she read.

Jail Learned From Nowak Case

Moore also said that lessons learned from the recent case involving astronaut Lisa Nowak were implemented during Anthony's release Friday.

"When astronaut Lisa Nowak was here, we did not have this kind of restriction up and it prevented an unsafe situation where no one could get in or out of the building during the release process."

Moore said steps were taken to protect access the building because of the large media presence.

"When there is this much media outside of the building, we are going to insure access to the building," Moore said. "And protect it from the standpoint of public safety and fire codes."

Angry Crowd Forms

Thursday night, an angry crowd of protestors formed outside the home of the grandparents of missing Caylee Anthony after it was determined Casey would be released from jail.

Local 6 News reported that the parents of Casey Anthony, George and Cindy, signed a promissory note agreement where they put up bond money to get their daughter out of jail.

Casey Anthony was most recently jailed on theft charges unrelated to the disappearance of her daughter who was reported missing in mid-July but was last seen about 31 days earlier.

Earlier Thursday, it was reported that the bond money was given to the Anthony family and that the actual source of the funding wanted to remain anonymous.

A statement from the family's attorney was released indicating there was an anonymous party.

"Casey Anthony is being bailed out of jail. The individual posting the bond prefers to remain anonymous and is doing it because of the belief that Ms. Anthony's Constitutional rights have been grossly violated," the statement said.

Additional details also surfaced about bounty hunter Leonard Padilla, who orchestrated Casey's initial release from jail.

"Though Jose Baez and his client appreciate what Mr. Padilla initially did, his latter unjustified retreat has clearly demonstrated he cannot be trusted. Mr. Baez, nor Ms. Anthony will work with Leonard Padilla ever again on their case. Mr. Padilla is simply milking media time under the pretense of reposting bond and that offer is rejected," a released statement said.

Jail records showed that Baez spent nearly seven hours with Casey Anthony Thursday.

Also, two Department of Children and Families workers visited Casey Anthony in jail Thursday but the reason for the meeting was not known.

When initial news spread of Casey's expected release, demonstrators flocked to Cindy and George Anthony's Hope Spring Drive home.

Casey Anthony is not home yet and the spectacle has already begun, Local 6's Mike DeForest reported late Thursday.

Some neighbors said they were furious their streets will host a "circus" once again.

"This scares me a lot because we had a lot of protestors here last Friday night," neighbor Joyce Dickens said.

An angry crowd cheered and yelled threats at Casey Anthony when she was led away from her parents home in handcuffs last week.

"I really thought, yes, she is going to be in jail now and we don't have to worry about the protestors being out here and everything," Dickens said. "And now, they are going to be back."

Volunteer searcher, Kenyatta Coley, and her friends said they were disgusted that Casey Anthony is coming home again and over her "celebrity" treatment.

"We have been out there (in the woods) since 9 a.m. while (Casey Anthony) is in the air conditioning," Coley said. "We've been eaten up, seen alligators and everything in the swamps looking for her baby and she is getting treated like a celebrity, and I think it is wrong."

A demonstrator also said it seems Casey Anthony is getting better treatment than Paris Hilton treatment, DeForest reported.

There was at least one person who defended Casey Anthony's right to be home during the investigation.

War Of Words

Earlier, Cindy Anthony, the grandmother of Caylee, fired back Thursday after she apparently heard harsh statements against her on a national TV show as a search for the child continues.

The founder of a group organizing daily Central Florida searches for missing Caylee Anthony, Tim Miller, said he was furious with Cindy Anthony after what he said was a lack of cooperation.

"I'm pissed off," Equusearch's Miller said. "I feel as though we have been used in this and we are not getting any cooperation. We have done everything Cindy Anthony has asked us to do."

Cindy Anthony apparently heard comments from Miller and bounty hunter Leonard Padilla on CNN's Nancy Grace show and released a statement from a family representative Thursday.

"Leonard Padilla and Tim Miller came to me under false pretenses -- both claiming their sole purpose to find Caylee alive. Tim Miller misrepresented his intentions, and is falsely accusing me of not cooperating with him, when it is evident his motives were to obtain publicity for his organizations at the expense of exploiting my granddaughters' disappearance. Tim Miller tried to discredit Kid Finders Network by falsely stating that they tried to pull out of the search for Caylee. Mr. Miller also claims that he spent twelve hours in my home with my family including Casey, when in fact he spent only a few hours total with me and minutes with Casey. This is an example of Tim Miller following in Leonard Padillas footsteps. Although I feel his organization has a purpose, his misrepresentation has tainted the effort of so many people with good intentions. I would have expected Tim Miller to speak with me one on one, rather than me hearing him on Nancy Grace."

Miller responded to the statement.

"This is about Caylee, period, the end," Miller said. "And I would hope, if something has happened to Caylee, I would hope Cindy would want us out here finding her body too. If Cindy wants us to stop looking for her body, guess what -- we are not going to."

Orange County Sheriff Kevin Beary also sent a message to Cindy on Wednesday.

"Cindy Anthony was on national TV demanding an apology from the sheriff's office," Local 6's Louis Bolden said at the news conference.

"(It) won't happen," Beary said after a chuckle. "It won't happen. We are doing our job. What we need is credible information, especially from her daughter and that is a message I send back to her."

First Appearance Canceled

A first appearance in court Casey Anthony was canceled on Thursday.

The move comes after a source confirmed to Local 6 that evidence showed traces of chloroform inside Casey Anthony's car.

Detectives are pursuing the chloroform lead in a car belonging to Casey Anthony and information found on the woman's computer, Local 6 reported.

Local 6 confirmed that detectives confiscated Casey Anthony's computer during the investigation and found that someone was on the computer looking up information about chloroform.

Drones Used In Search

A search for Caylee will continue Thursday with high-tech devices.

"(Searchers) got drones and potentially another helicopter," Beary said. "Goodness, if you know some of the committees I sit on with the sheriffs, there are a lot of sheriffs who wish they could use drones."

Beary said the group can hopefully provide clues into the case.

"If Equusearch can bring some of that to this area and work it around the airport and find Caylee, that is what it's all about," Beary said. Whether she is alive or passed away, we need to find Caylee."
