New Terri Dailies Theme...
It's a few days early, but this is an appropriate thread as we approach the fourth anniversary of Terri's murder.
Is this better? Could you lock the other one ( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2195226/posts ), and redirect to this thread?
Thank you. : )
Much better!
This was where America showed its present face. Not enough of us took to the streets to demand that an innocent woman must not be put to death. And a slow horrible death, and she disabled, and her family begging for her life.
Yet we are supposed to think that, given a little more time and provocation, we will rise up and fight for gun rights or property rights, or against abortion or socialism, and we’ll have us a Second Revolution to restore what was.
Terri Schiavo was murdered in broad daylight. Her killers are known. They remain free and unpunished. Life goes on. No, we are now dead men walking.
“I wholeheartedly believe that if the public had been allowed to witness Terri’s suffering first hand, the outcry would have deafened Florida and the world.” — Bobby Schindler
I would say to Bobby Schindler, you were there. You saw. As a witness you can still help to show others. You don’t have the budget for a movie, perhaps; not yet. And understandably there is personal pain to relive, in recreating the events. But I hope someday you will be in a position to advise a filmmaker in this regard, guide them to recreate what you saw and heard, and then the public WOULD see, if only via the powerful visual medium. And God willing they WOULD be outraged.
Some people need to be drawn a picture, some need to immerse themselves in cinema, before they understand.
PS: I’m assuming a documentary is not going to employ dramatic technique, and that IMO is a mistake.

To my mind, the issue shouldn't have been whether a person may be fatally dehydrated if there is tangible evidence of their having given informed consent to precisely that, but rather whether a 'husband' who has openly promised himself to another woman may credibly claim to act in the best interests of his 'wife', especially when acting in ways which common sense would suggest would be contrary to such interest.
This is wonderful. Can’t wait to see it!
ATTENTION: Terri's Day Mass will be at Ave Maria University in Naples,FL instead of a local mass in Pinellas County.
Don't come to Largo. Visit www.terrisfight.org or wagglebee's thread for more info.
I do not think the reality of what became law of precedence has yet sunk into the psyche of Americans. But I think they are about to find out very quickly with ‘universal’ health care... Seems like each and everyone of US are one ‘report’ away from a county judge handing down a death sentence, especially if a ‘credible’ report is filed.
That word ‘universal’ ought to give pause to those who wanted Terri dead.... and did not care how long it took for her brain to stop sending signals to her heart to continue beating.
bttt
I read Mrs. Schindler’s book. This film is very much needed and I am grateful for it. Thank God!!

its not much, but my tagline will never change
remember
always
the murder of this innocent
by the state
This happens more often than people want to acknowledge. Family members, in control of the lives of others who are no longer able to make a decision because of brain injury, but are not on life support systems, only on feeding tubes for sustanance and hydration, are being killed. Their family member in charge of their care is getting a doctor's order to remove the feeding tube and they suffer a slow, painful death. Why? Perhaps because they see no value in the life before their eyes. Or they are tired of the years they have spent visiting and sitting with that person, now doing so out of obligation, when there is no visible response. They forget that a persons hearing is one of the last senses to go, and they hear what is spoken in their presence. They are caged in a body that no longer functions properly enough to converse, but...they hear! Imagine being trapped and hearing the conversations about how they are going to kill you and being unable to respond. These victims then go through an emotional and physical torture, dying slowly. I know of a 4 week long death sentence like this. All I could do is go home and pray and weep!
