You think this nut was justified in robbing an innocent businessman with a deadly weapon to get an even deadlier weapon and go to the Florida hospice and probably kill one or more of the police officers guarding the place.

Is that correct?

Now why would you think 'that is correct', when I explicitly said "I don't condone violence"?

[texasflower]

No one here is pro death. We don't want Terri to die, but we are accepting reality.

I asked you to provide links, because I knew you couldn't do it.

That's exactly what I expected from you.

[Walkin Man]

Because after you said you don't condone violence you seemed to admire the armed robber/Terri supporter for his "rescue attempt".

But maybe I read you wrong, if so I apologize.

[agere_contra]

Because you can persist in tube-feeding someone way beyond when they should have been just let go.

Well now here we come to the critical point, shorn of confusion about autonomic life support. They should have just been let go. It is this decision to let some one die a painful death when only food, water and primary care are required that is the nub of the case.

LOL!!

[sgtbono2002]

Its insanity. They get nuttier by the day. I had planned to go to the Rally in April till they included Schiavvo in the mix.

I am against Judges making law, but these Judges are following the law and taking massive heat for it.

[agere_contra]

Clearly a painless shot is the better option for a quick, merciful death. But that's not legal yet.

Aha. This is probably best reposted here.

Subject: Shiavo review of guardianship

Governor Jeb Bush, jeb.bush@myflorida.com

The court, in 1997 when Michael announced he was'engaged' should have immediately conducted a guardianship hearing and transfered Terri to State guardianship. Because of this failure, we are in the present situation.

Questions you might consider:

(1) Why did Michael choose to 'ignore' her wishes for nearly 7 years until 1997 when he announced he was'engaged' to Jodi Centonze and 'suddenly' remembered the conversation about life support with Terri from years before?

Michael Schiavo answer would probably rationalize that it took that long before he realized there was 'no hope for recovery...'

(2) However, the 1992 malpractice suit for $20 million was based on the premise/conclusion that Terri would NOT recover and she would require constant medical care for the remainder of her life estimated by Michael Shiavo and his laywers to be 51 years(which is the normal life expectancey)...Where were her WISHES at that time?

(3) The court, in 1997 when Michael announced he was'engaged' should have immediately conducted a guardianship hearing and transfered Terri to State guardianship, at a minimum because of the obvious conflict of interest on the part of Michael Shiavo.

The court system failed to act at that point, and that is a major factor on why we are at the point we are today.

Guardianship, by law and practice, is determined to be given to that person who is most heavily 'biased' in favor of the disabled person. Under most conditions this would be the spouse. However, most prudent courts, if during the guardianship period, the appointed guardian by circumstances or accident tilts the 'bias' away from the interest of the person so guarded, would conduct and immediate review, and at a minimum, transfer guardianship to the appropriate State agency.

hope this is useful

He's a resident of Illinois, he can't buy a gun in Florida. (Unless he has it shipped to a Licensed Firearms dealer in Illinois.)

"Nice to know our side has its share of whackjobs."

There's no shortage of people with good intentions but lacking the wherewithal to know they're doing more harm than good for their cause.

[Smartaleck]

"Okay... what's his screen name??"

BTT

[smiley]

well then...I think his punishment should be starvation and no water. Judges will definitely agree.

[Smartaleck]

"Yeah, we know you collect every story that makes the save Terri crowd look bad."

And only the Terri crowd can make the Terri crowd look "bad."

Good intentions gone bad. It happens.

[Long Cut]

Are any of the people whio support Michael Schiavo doing anything like this?

(Crickets)

The Terri Pitchfork Brigades are doing an awesome job making themselves look like lunatics all on their own.

[BobS]

There will be more of these people.

No justice, no peace.

[MeanWestTexan]

Peter tried something like this, albeit with a sword.

It was the wrong idea then, too.

Kinda reminds me of the old palestinine men who send in the their children as suicide bombers.
