Well, so did I - after reading this story.

It does make you wonder - exactly what message were they sending to this woman? Right now the police are considering only a misdemeanor charge, but I think intimidation should absolutely play a part in the charges. To me, it is a veiled threat, but for what reason? 
I just hope she and her daughter are safe. It could have been her ex - some of them can be pretty scary. But, nothing was mentioned about possibilities - only her father seemed to think it was a potential threat. 
What do you think? Cruel game? Or a possible threat?

i really love that movie. i have the trilogy, a shirt, the book, and a movie poster of "the godfather". just yesterday, i saw a book of quotations from the film and if not for my current employment status, i would have bought it already. i figured i'll save up for it and buy it as a late birthday gift for myself by the end of the month.
the movie used a real decapitated horse head and they had to put it in a freezer before they were able to shoot the scene.
as for the article, i think it is a veiled threat. i would definitely do something similar to someone i would like to piss off. if my intentions were to kill a person, i'll cut to the chase and shoot that person ala-michael corleone. lol!

Believe it or not, I've never seen a single Godfather movie. But, that scene was so famous, it was hard to not know about or remember when I saw this article. I'm not one for really violent movies. Made the mistake of going to see The Departed - something I'll never do again. But, considering the meaning in the movie of that head, I think it's possible there's more than a prank behind this pig's head. They're sending a message and only the woman really has any idea why, I'm sure. And, maybe her father. They don't say why he thinks it's a threat, but he probably knows why.

i think the family isn't divulging everything to the police. maybe they vowed not to break the code of omerta .
(insert cued music from "the godfather").

I'm not sure what to think of it...Seeing that they have been targeted before it could be a horrible joke....but then it could be a threat....

Hey jerz! That is really mean! Definitely seems like a threat
of some kind to me! And how horrible for the little girl to
have to find it too! If it was the ex and the father of the
little girl then he is a really sick mf! How could he be so
stupid and cruel? It's bad enough to do something like this
to his wife, but to upset his little daughter too. I just
don't understand. I hope the police do look at it as a threat
and find the person that did it!
