Carla Iyer's affidavit always gets to me bump.
Is it not normal for criminals to fear the intentions of the police?
I'd like to urge folks to try to get to Tallahassee for the rally on Sunday at 3:00 at the Capitol building if you can be there. Pray about it, and if the Lord leads you...come. They're hoping for hundreds...let's give them thousands. Are you out of state? Can you take a vacation day? Can you borrow from your savings for gas, a train ticket or plane ticket? It may be inconvenient, but it may be one of the best investments in the future of this country you've ever made. COME! If you can come...COME.
It's kind of interesting to contemplate what all would happen.
Assuming I could get her out of the hospice and across state lines, I think it is safe to expect that I would be arrested within a few days. Likely by the FBI.
I'm not sure, but I tend to doubt that many local law enforcement types in Georgia, the Carolinas, or Virginia would be overly enthusiastic about enforcing an arrest warrant issued in Florida by Judge Greer in this particular case.
I recall two cops once receiving a marijuana radio call while they were talking to each other. They were stopped, parked next to each other, chatting about football or something. Some kids were supposedly smoking pot in a car somewhere.
One cop said to the other (I was riding along), "We'd better get right on that." They then resumed chatting.
I think that is about the attitude this would receive around where I live.
There is also the possibility that numerous legal issues could be raised which could call into question whether it truly constituted a kidnapping.
For starts, let's say that it was done with the knowledge and consent of the Schindlers and one argued that it was done in order to prevent an attempted murder. That Michael had demonstrably breached his legal and fiduciary obligations as her trustee and guardian, and was no longer entitled to serve in those capacities. He hasn't been for years. I personally believe all that. Those arguments may not ultimately prevail, but just those few points look to me like they could take years to get resolved. There's also more that could be argued.
I have no idea how difficult it would be to get me extradited to Florida -- or whether that would even be necessary, given that kidnapping is a federal offense.
I think it could be that I would be "out" of whatever detention in a matter of days. Greer and Michael don't have a lot of fans.
But even if I'm not out, don't need to be extradited. etc., the matter of returning Terri herself back to Florida -- to be killed -- seems to me like it would be less than automatic. That could take several more years.
Suppose. for example, she were receiving appropriate medical care here in central Virginia. Greer would certainly want her back, but how many legal, political, and public hurdles could be placed in his path?
A lot, methinks.
The really fun part would be the publicity a stunt like that would create. It would likely be an enormous media event. On every channel and in every newspaper every day for a long time. Perhaps even in the halls of Congress.
I have not gone into all the details of my hypothetical plan. It's just interesting to think about.
It would not be so bad to watch the fall-out from the relative comfort of a prison cell. In fact, I think it would be the most fun I've ever had.
I also think I would make a lot of new friends. Both the guards and my fellow inmates. ;)
Ping to my post just above.
Can you imagine what would happen in your son's / daughter's scenario?
I don't expect them to do really that, but my goodness.
The caca would get off that fan forever. ;)
Ping to the above. I'm trying to speed up because I need to get into the shower and out of here, and I'm starting to make mistakes.
The caca would NOT get off the fan for years. The first ping was intended for you.
(Re: the "Million Kid March" idea: My son asked if I thought the police would shoot a bunch of unarmed kids if they tried to rescue Terri...I had to say I didn't know. The picture of Elian with the storm trooper aiming right at him popped into my head.)
Maybe if he comes to NYC someone can walk him to the subway platform?
it's just gallows humor. God help that man!
It's easier to come to Tallahassee for the rally than to contemplate kidnapping!
;-D TALLAHASSEE BUMP! COME!
I think her parents have already said that they're willing to let Michael keep the money, if he'll just divorce Terry so that they can have custody of her
I believe it's all about a power trip for Michael at this point; he won't release her because he believes he should be in charge of her life.
it's much worse than that, though. it's an attempt to remake our country on behalf of some powerful pro-euthenasia lobbies. did we have this discussion already?
