I'm not perfect, however, and you'll have to pardon my reactions to things like "She should be made a Saint, and people can pray to her so she'll heal the sick" and "She's the second coming of Christ" and stuff like that...

Maybe it was uncalled for, but so is a lot of stuff being said - people calling me a Nazi, or a "LIttle Eichmann" or "Devil Worshipper" or "Death Cultist" or...

Those are all uncalled for, too, and one would think FReepers would be better than that, too, but they, like me, are not perfect either.

[longtermmemmory]

you would have a far better chance of success with a recall campaign.

Florida LEOs had no choice but to pull back. The local police pretty much threatened that they would go to force.

Surround the compound with the Florida National Guard. Include armor, humvees with .50 cals, hovering Apache helicopters, the works.

Accompany the Florida state officials with a detachment of fully-body-armored, heavy-weapons-packing Guardsmen.

Then dare the cops to pull the trigger.

[Beeline40@aol.com]

OH? When did she do that?

[Run Silent Run Deep]

YOU used the term "radical, pro-lifers" without any qualifications or distinctions. You used the noun "pro-lifers" and put one adjective and one adjective only in front of it..."radical".

How else could a THINKING person interpret what you said?

We are on the same side, which, hopefully, is God's side. God bless you.

I pray that His Peace reigns in FL.

[Chad Fairbanks]

MS is a liar at best and Greer is a hypocrite at best.

Call me crazy, but aren't they the type of people we are expected to pray for? Or, do we only pray for "good" people?

In my Christianity, we pray for the good and bad alike...

[GloriaJane]

We have to make sure everyone know how Terri pleaded for her life and that Greer would not listen. And we have to make sure that everyone also remembers the deathacrats fought against helping her. And the ones who didn't fight against her most ran away and hid.

[syriacus]

I guess, in all honesty, with 80% (I believe that was what the earlier scans showed) of the brain completely gone, and replaced by the fluid, there was no point in draining it...

Would a shunt have hurt her?

[OkieAcres]

I am putting MS, Greer, and every other judge who has weighed in on this, in the same category as the Shindlers and myself for that matter. The category of sinners and lost without Christ. I was merely trying to pray for my enemy as well as those I sympathize with. If you think that is wrong then you have a conflict with Christ, not me.

[Ingtar]

Greer has ordered the body cremated immediately after her death. There will be no time for anyone to examine her for the cause of her condition.

[marquis7772]

Thank you for the advice Chad, you have shown me the error of my ways, and I have changed my mind. I will no longer be gleeful at the prospect of MS's murder, period.

I will now only be gleeful if MS somehow finds himself in a PVS, and his girlfriend/fiancee goes before Greer and walks away with an Order to remove MS's feeding tube, and after his family exhausts all of thier appeals and they beg for Jeb to stop the starvation of MS, and...well, you get the picture.

[pollywog]

EXACTLY. IT NEEDS TO BE DONE! W should speak on TV - we are being overthrown!! When Terri lost her rights, so did Jeb! If they keep the old way of thing.... it's never been done - we also have never been in these waters either. What good is POWER if you don't use it? IMHO, It is the only way to somewhat correct and put a halt to this 'overthrow' of this government as we sit and watch it on TV. <

AMEN, what a good point.

[T'wit]

Excellent art -- if a bit understated about Judge Greer's evil.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Of course we are on the same side, but there are others on our side that ARE radical - people who believe that the word of God justifies bombing abortion clinics and killing people - even people who are not th eintended targets...

I don't think it's unjustified, given the level of outrage, to expect that some pro-lifers are radicalized... Certainly not all, by any means, but a very ocal minority are...

[Chad Fairbanks]

Would a shunt have helped her?

[utahagen]

You should know that your nasty post made me cry during these already dreadful hours. How lacking in charity are you that you would mock me (or anyone) while I am grieving as this woman dies from starvation and dehydration?

[presently no screen name]

MS (et al) will cause his/their own demise.

"You reap what you sow".

[GloriaJane]

Well, they can go down with Greer. And they will if we can just make sure that everyone in this country knows that Terri begged for her life but Greer would not listen.

[Beeline40@aol.com]

Lets think about this. Draining the fluid where her brain used to be, would not have made no difference whatsoever. Once your brain is athrophied or died, there is nothing you can do to bring it back. I feel for her parents but, they are dilusional. In the earilier court papers, her parents agreed that she was vegetative.

[Chad Fairbanks]

I wouldn't be gleeful in the suffering of bad people - myself personally, I'd hope and pray that they had found the Lord before they died, and wouldn't really wish any suffering on them OR their loved ones...

But, that's just crazy talk. ;)
