Yes, I agree Dave, but that short time inconvenience caused this woman to miss being with HER grandfather at the time of his death... I don't think SHE will look at this as a short time inconvenience....... do you?
As discussed above by others, the purpose of the article was very likely to divide those who support Terri by pointing out that the protests were inconveniencing those who wanted to visit loved ones in the facility. And yes, she has a right to be upset that she was not able to get there on time. On the other hand, think about how you try to prepare if you have to get to a hospital, say on a military base, on the other side of town where an injured solider is being treated, or maybe dying. You just don't run off barefoot and with no ID. You know you have to have these items to get in to see him and prepare. In this case, anyone living locally had to know there were going to be checks and also prepare accordingly. I'm sorry she didn't make it in time, but to blame the protesters who were assembling lawfully and for the most part peacefully is incorrect.
