She’s 41, he’s 44. Boru is their fourth child, the first three are girls.
To: Ernie Kaputnik
Im on Mr. Kennedys side on this. I agree with you. This seems to be another case of an institution elevating its own internal policy to the level of law whereas the legality of custody is the only determining factor.
To: Brass Lamp
That means you approve of assault on women.
You approve of women beaters.

kennedy should have waited when they told him no he has to wait. Kennedy’s don’t like taking no for an answer. Then he acted like an animal and used violence against a weak woman while holding a tiny infant, just because he didn’t want to wait. Was the fresh air going to disappear? hospitals have strict rules thanks to lawyers. They must follow to the letter or face big $$$$ losses, if something were to happen. If something happened on their watch, you bet Kennedy would be calling his ambulance chasing pals so fast it would make your head spin. Him and his lawyer would point the finger at the staff for their “negligence” for letting him stroll out the hospital and “breaking protocol” you betcha.
To: ladyjane
Absolutely I agree with you and poster Kaila.
you are right on the money. The hospital has rules. Douglas was irrational for reacting with violence over a silly unimportant stroll. It’s an immature reation or someone who is unstable.

That will be an interesting race. Republican Sean Bielat, the Marine who gave Frank a run for his money in 2010, is running again.

‘Under what legal authority did the nurse have to impede the father?’
The Catholic hospital at which my son was born two yrs ago told us that only the father or mother could take our son out of the glassed encased care unit, out of the merternity unit or out of the hospital. No exceptions.

Our local maternity ward has a buzz in system and all the babies were bands that have the same chip they use for shop lifting that makes the alarm sound if one f taken from the area without the tags being deactivated.They put this system in years ago when they realized the hospital is about 5 minutes from I-70.

When this spoiled brat, Kennedy, was arrested, I wonder if they did any testing to see if he was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. ( Just wondering.)

My thoughts exactly.
While I understand the necessity of establishing policies to ensure the safety of newborns, hospitals and government have evolved into idiotic and fascist bureaucracies that believe they “own” the children, and the parents are only granted “custody” if and when the state determines they are suitable parents. Orwellian in thought and deed.
Good for Mr. Kennedy. Too bad, so sad for the fascist Nazi nurses that he beat down.
That's my take on it and I'm sticking to it.

Way to go, MK!
Believe you hit em so hard, theyll still be choking on their brand muffins tomorrow morning. Man, thats gonna leave a mark.
Shock and Awe: Theyre shocked and your post was awesome.
Well I appreciate the kind words Ernie, and I'm going to condense this post into an answer to Wintertime's posts #46 and #55 and just say that it is clear that some posters in this thread are automatically assuming that Douglas Kennedy was in the WRONG, why?
Because of his name. Now as I've already stated, I take a backseat to NObody in loathing the Kennedys, especially the dead Fat Teddy, however my opinion on the Kennedys or Douglas Kennedy is irrelevant to the issue under discussion.
We have: the father of a newborn infant who claims to have obtained permission to take his son for a walk. It will be soon be determined whether or not this is true. As with ANY American accused of wrongdoing, they are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
From another account of this incident, I find this highly interesting:
"An emergency room doctor who was visiting Kennedy and saw what happened, defended his boyhood friend in a statement that reads: 'I can state unequivocally that the nurses were the only aggressors. To charge Mr. Kennedy with a crime is simply incomprehensible.'"
...and:
"The nurses told police the baby's head was "shaking violently from side to side." ... Kennedy's lawyer denies that, adding the baby slept through the whole thing. Attorneys for both sides agree that the baby was not injured."
Now for the money shot:
"It's unclear whether the nurses will sue Kennedy civilly. However, a few weeks ago, they sent Kennedy a letter suggesting that he might want to hire a lawyer."
(from www.necn.com)
Sounds to me like two nurses with more testosterone in their veins than estrogen are gearing up for what they think might be a BIG pay day. IF they were assaulted and injured as they claim, Douglas Kennedy would not have been walking around free as a bird for 7 weeks while the D.A. got around to filing MISDEMEANOR charges against Kennedy.
I reiterate: I don't like the Kennedys, but this looks like two thug-nurses deciding to throw their weight around, and naturally there is an FR lynch mob eager to back them to the hilt.

Why bother? He's already been convicted in the Wintertime Circuit Court. Now take him out and hang him from a tree, right?

The incident took place on January 7th. Kennedy wasn’t arrested until February 23rd. Unless he appeared intoxicated at the time of the arrest, there would have been no reason for testing.
To: smoothsailing
In other words, incident took place on January 7th.
They got around to arresting him this past Thursday.
That doesn’t sound like it reaches the level of ‘wild drunken/doper on a rampage in a hospital’ event.

Excellent summation, FRiend. I couldn’t have said it better, and I concur with you entirely. (I, too, hate Fat Dead Ted Kennedy, but that ain’t the point here.)
