Pinellas Park police Lt. Kevin Riley, standing upper right, prepares to arrest members of the Keys family as they were attempting to bring Terri Schiavo water Wednesday morning, March 23, 2005 outside the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla. The Keys family, of Burnet, Tex., kneeling, from left, Josie, 14, Gabriel, 10, Chris, the children's father, and Cameron 12, were all taken into custody. Galen Keys, upper left, the children's mother looks on, but was not arrested.The mother insists it was the children's idea: "I am proud of them," said the boys' mother Geilen Keys from Texas, who was not arrested. "They are very mature and they said 'we want to go and offer some water to Terri'."


Pinellas Park police Lt. Kevin Riley, second from left, handcuffs 14-year-old Josie Keys, left, while Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies place her father Chris in the back of a van after arresting members of the family for trespassing Wednesday morning March 23, 2005 outside the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla. The family members were attempting to bring Terri Schiavo a cup of water.


Gabriel Keys (foreground) is arrested by police officers for trespassing in Pinellas Park, Florida, March 23, 2005. The young protester attempted to take a glass of water into the Woodside Hospice for the brain-damaged Terri Schiavo. A federal judge rejected a request from the parents of Schiavo to order her feeding tube reinserted, dealing a blow to attempts by the U.S. Congress and the White House to prolong her life.

I don't know what that has to do with anything. I was just answering a poster's question. The poster didn't know what was illegal, so I informed him/her. I made no value judgement about the law in my post.

You know, I was thinking about colostomies earlier this week in relation to Terri's case... how it's similar. So, it's chilling that people think that way and have told you..

I'm appalled that these kids parents allowed them to do this. Arrest the parents.

The story is not so much about Terri -- as it is about the different responses to the facts, and what people regard as the facts, from their own experiences and understanding of life. The subject herself is almost the perfect Rohrschach ink blot. It's ultimately not about Terri -- but about everybody else.

You are good. "The writing speaks for itself".

" And so was harboring illegal Jews in Germany in the previous century."

I was thinking the same thing.

I remember once in Korea one of our guys was told by an officer NOT to give some of his rations to this little kid standing close by, who looked like he had not eaten in days.... the officer did not want a bunch of kids around for some unknown reason... he was a ________ anyway.

THE SOLDIER TOOK ONE TINY BITE FROM HIS CANDY BAR AND THREW IT ON THE GROUND NEAR THE KID AFTER SAYING TO THE OFFICER,

" YUK!! I HATE THIS CHOCOLATE... I AM THROWING THIS JUNK AWAY!

THE KID GRABBED THE CANDY AND WAS GONE IN A FLASH!!

Those cops better not lay a finger on any of those little kids, for only attempting to feed a deliberately starved victim of the Florida state courts.

This friggin country sux. We've become an impotent pile of legal mush without a lick of common sense. These increasingly frequent arrests and cuffing of children for such minor infractions make me want to hurl.

Stupidity? I would think stupidity would be those trying to kill a woman because she is not perfect.

Something else many consider worthless and stupid.

Matt. 25:41-45

"Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.


For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink,


I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'



They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'


"He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'



Another stupidity is the belief that the above does not apply if you do not believe in Jesus or God.

So, what are they worried about? That she might die?

You're kidding, right?

How is having a colostomy in any way similar to Terri's case.

People with a colostomy can presumably think and reason and hear and talk. They have cognitive abilities. Their mind is not affected at all.

Their bodies are functioning and moving and walking and working and exercising.

Terri cannot do any of those things.

Have you googled Persistent Vegetative Status?

"They don't appear to be in school at all, at the moment."

Only to a simple minded cretin. In fact, they are getting the education of a lifetime.

Why do you think that any learning outside of school has to be a field trip? Children can learn anywhere, anytime.

It's Spring Break in at least three counties surrounding this Pinellas County hospice.

Sorry to burst your bubble!

"and she can choke - which is why they use a tube. But don'tlet the facts ruin a good publicity stunt."

So the Nurses...professionals who are trained to notice these things...the ones who say they've seen her swallow liquids and soft food without aspirtion are lying?

You're right shouldn't let the facts ruin a good publicity stunt. Only you're blaming the wrong side for the publicity stunt.
