The bullets would start flying then.
Does anyone know the connection between George Soros and Michael Schiavo's lawyer?? Evidently the lawyer runs some sort of "pro-death" organization that is funded by Soros...heard it on Mark Levine tonight.
Dear Jorge,
This man wasn't storming the gates of any courts. He was trying to give water to a woman dying of thirst.
As for Jesus, He did take a whip to the moneychangers in the temple.

"He got himself arrested."
Yep Deacon he did. He tried to give a thirsty woman water and armed thugs stopped him.
The man knew it would not help Terri.
Let's say our mob of "water bearers" kept their distance, but looked menacing.
Yep. This husband that supposedly only wants to fulfill his wife's wishes hired a bunch of euthanasia activists - lawyers AND doctors - several years before he remembered that she didn't want to go on living.
"These people who claim to represent Christianity with this bizarre behavior are an embarrassment."
Perhaps to you, to me they represent the Church Militant.
Humanly speaking, I agree. But then we all know that nothing is impossible for God. Jesus has raised many from the dead. And so I hold out a little hope as another show of God's Mercy towards us.
My biggest concern is that when Terri goes to her reward, what will be left for us???
It's the symbolism. How many congress people would have turned on Terri's drip and gladly accepted arrest and imprisonment? Many, I hope.

""burglery" is technically defined as entering, or attempting to enter, a property for the the purpose of committing a crime."
The crime? Illegal hydration! No hydration without articulation! Death to the silent! Unpersons of the world, STARVE to death.
Unfortunately Terri has become a poster girl for "The Right to Die" movement. What if she's aware of all this and has no such ambitions. That is why many would rather err on the side of life.
Christianity and Christians themselves and their actions , have always been considered bizzare by the world.
If such an act of attempted kindness, seems bizzare to you, perhaps it is you who has problems.
He knew SHE would NEVER get the water BEFORE he did it.
So who was it really for?
I really find these useless public displays to be disingenuous and self-serving.
He will wear this criminal record as a badge of honor after the manner of Rosa Parks.
All the saints commemorated as Confessors (and a lot of the Martyrs) had their society's versions of 'criminal records'. I guess Baptists aren't into saints (except in the generic sense of 'saved Christian') and don't commemorate the Confessors for Christ, but they have a new one.
"Caring for her????????"
Well... They are giving her morphine, even though they say she is not in pain.
I know the man. I am not surprised. He was an action-oriented guy who is not afraid to think outside the box. At 56 he may be less agile than when I knew him, but the way I remember him, if he had been trying to hurt those officers, he would have.
