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.

When a group of four attempts this, of course they will be arrested. But try it with a group of 400, or even 4,000...See who wins out then. Unfortunately, there are no patriots anymore. We're too worried about our own comforts and our continued ability to be able to leave our jobs, get in our new or semi-new vehicles, drive to the home we are paying the mortgage on and sit down in front of our tv with a beer. Pathetic, really. If our forefathers had the mentality of modern day Americans, we wouldn't be here today.

Happy FReeping.

"Maybe if you were down there speaking out, they wouldn't have had to do it. "

How do you know I wasn't "down there?"

I see you're from Florida and I didn't happen to see you at any of the FReeps that I went to just before the election. Saw a bunch of FReepers but no EternalVIgILance.

Were you hiding behind your keyboard?

Well, I figured you'd respond that way, but I wanted you to see a sample of what's been going on so you could see what Chad was being sarcastic about.

Carry on...

Hey, I never claimed to be perfect, but if you can't see that I was merely pointing out the absurdity of what is being done over and over and over again on these threads, then you just need to move on and get over it.

Well, that's how I interpreted it.

Thanks for the ping, nutmeg. After being away from any media sources all day, I often depend on friendly pings like yours to get me caught up with news and issues of the day.

Thanks for your kind words, tgslTakoma, but my efforts pale in comparison with the great work that you and the DC Chapter has done and is doing. :o)

I sure wish I could be pinging you to better news regarding Terri. I'm also continuing to pray hard for Terri and for the Schindlers...

What agenda do you think the parents were furthering by using their children?

Well, I went through all the reponses and didn't see any, much less anything close to supporting what happened there, by any of the people who are posting on this thread.

IS it safe to say you just made up that comment?

Here it is again in case you've forgotten it already.

"The same people deriding these paretns were the ones speaking admiration of the little girl who was standing at a political rally back in September who had her Bush/CHeney sign ripped to shreds."

I doubt EV is from Florida. I have no idea why he has the Florida flag suddenly flying on his profile page. My guess, without any independent verification, would be because Keyes is in Florida, so that's where EV currently is. But he wouldn't be there right now if Keyes wasn't there. Do I have that right, EV? :)

Despite my attempts to rear peace-loving children, my 10-yr-old son said he'd like to do more than just be there...

Heh heh heh... I think he changes his flag to reflect wherever he happens to be at the time. I don't see that as a bad thing, but it can be a bit misleading for people who don't know... ;0)

So, your telling me and everyone here that a bunch of children trying to give water to a dying woman, are felons? That's what you are telling me? What warped planet did you just step off of? I guess you consider Klinton to be a saint!

The ACLU provided legal support to Felos. I heard him thanking them profusely for their hard world.

These pictures really got my 10 year old son mad. He doesn't get mad often. He says if he were older he would go down there and do something also. We live in Arizona. We can't get down to Florida.

I watched Joe Scarborough last night and cried listening to his closing remarks. This is a transript posted online.

Take note that when you get to the bottom about God not blessing this or any other country for that kills its weakest and most vunerable citizens, he the SIGHED LOOKED LIKE HE WAS GOING TO CRY AND SAID SADLY, "MAY GOD FORGIVE US ALL". I lost it...went to bed crying.

Terri Schiavo: We should protect our most vulnerable citizens (Joe Scarborough)

As you may know, I have spent the last week on my TV and radio show fighting to save the life of Terri Shiavo. Like many opinion givers, lawmakers, and American citizens, I am shocked and saddened by the forced starvation of a young, helpless woman who is being sentence to death simply because she cannot feed herself. Applying this standard, infants, Alzheimers patients, the elderly and infirmed would face a court ordered death.

If we are to judge our society (as Hubert Humphrey once suggested) by how we protect the weakest among us, America is in trouble.

So where does my confession come in? Well, here goes. Until late last week, I didn't want to talk about Terri Shiavo. It was too depressing a spectacle, too ugly a fight. I wanted to turn my eyes away from this beautiful young woman who turned into a helpless, bed-ridden soul. As beautiful to her mother and father as she was on her 16th birthday, the Terri Shiavo of 2005 was just too painful to watch.

I suspect I was not alone. I have noted over the past several days a growing outrage for a judicial system that would allow a mother's daughter to starve to death in the most plentiful country on earth.

This morning on my radio show, I had planned to talk about the Patriot Act and a host of other issues.

But Portland called, and they wanted to talk about Terri.

Atlanta? Terri.

Orlando? Terri.

Washington DC? Terri.

Iowa...of course...Terri.

Three days ago, few Americans cared. But that is no longer the case. We are all wide awake in America, and we are no longer afraid to look into the eyes of Terri Schiavo.

And like her parents, we see a beautiful young woman made in the image of God.

A God who will not bless this or any nation that kills its weakest and most vulnerable citizens.

May God forgive us all.

This being Holy Week it should be noted that Judge Greer's decree prevents giving terri a vinegar soaked sponge on a stick.
