It's more that sad, it is a landmark. When people can be killed because one person wants them dead, what is to stop the 21st century version of Cyklon B and gas ovens?

Answer: Not one damn thing.

And of course the cop guarding her room so as to prevent her parents being with her when she dies is "just following orders."

If he has a wife and kids they should be ordered to witness her death so they can see how daddy "serves and protects."

Sorry, I generally have the greatest of respect for LE officers...but I'm just livid at this.

I wonder how those brave officers would respond to swarm of people storming the hospice to secure her and remove her to safety. Would they use deadly force against women, kids and old people? This whole situation is simply nauseating.

"Just following orders" is not a legal excuse even in the military to stand by and watch an atrocity, like in Germany, take place. Rules must be broken and then righted to protect the sancity of human life, nomatter how we puzzle of the meaning of some existance.

Yep. Just like the one who actually removed the feeding tube. I wonder how they'll sleep tonight.

That is what I have been wondering. Where are all those people who stand outside prisons wailing over executions being carried out. Why is no one outside this place making noise. Or are they and it is just not being reported or I missed it?
