If it's too unsettling, don't climb in the ring with gloves on.
"It didn't take much for that to get turned into "Michael made the family leave at the moment of death,"
Oh no you don't-- If we're to believe Felos, who said that Michael was informed by staff that he'd "better get in there" because the end was moments away, your spin is most inaccurate. You can read what Felos said, that's his spin, so the truth must be worse.
So, you didn't read post #25, eh?
Oh, yes - I forgot. It would here.
No, this is the same priest who said they were denined....
PAVONE: Yes. And let me tell you, I’ll preface that by saying I visited with her several times before the feeding tube was removed. She was very responsive--closing her eyes when I said, “Let’s pray together, Terri,” opening them up after the prayer. Smiling, returning the kiss of her father. Turning her eyes to me when I spoke to her. In many other ways, as well, responsive.
The truth can only be suppressed for so long.
There was only one post here about hating Michael. Do a search for yourself, troll.
I read it, but I don't care what Felos said. What I posted is what Bobby said. It is really hilarious that you would accuse someone of "sifting" for a version when you want to accept Felos' version over Bobby's.
"Oh, yes - I forgot. It would here."
Ad hominem on all FReepers. If the FACTS are too hot for you, get out of the kitchen.
It's all in who we choose to believe - a number of priests or a lying attorney.
"I read it, but I don't care what Felos said."
Apparently, in your convenient little universe, you don't care about what anyone says, unless it fits your preconceptions.
What about the FACTS, "Wild Turkey"?
He's a diamond formed in the intense pressures of the pro-life movement. He's the director of Priests for Life.
Bobby (who was in the room with Suzanne from 7 am til 8:50 or so) was escorted out by a policeman 10-15 min before Terri died when he insisted that he wanted, he needed to stay with Terri as he knew she was near death. They say he was 'creating a scene' . . . He's her BROTHER, her protector for all the years of their lives, of course he insisted on staying there, esp. as the ghouls were gathering to watch her draw her last precious breaths.
Who all was with Terri?
her loving husband, of course, and a few of his (and Terri's?) bestest buddies: felos, debra bushnell, hospice administrator, and hospice workers. But no police -- that would not have been appropriate for Terri's dignity, even though they had been right there in and at her room for all the time leading up to this. And certainly, no brother or sister.
btw, michael was provided with a room + bathroom in the hospice . . . and he (and in the last day, felos, debra bushnell) had the luxury of being right down the hall from Terri. So the OM can screw the crap about how he avoided the media cameras, as if he did some noble thing. besides, felos was there to hiss into the microphones any time it seemed to be to their advantage.
The Schindlers were afforded no such kindness, no room there at the hospice for their convenience and comfort -- even as they would be turned out of Terri's room at michael's desire, and have to leave and check back ("every half hour", Bobby was told in last day) to see when they might be permitted back in.
I thank God for the kind person who allowed them to stay at the shop across the street -- though they still had to walk through the rain, which was tremendous these past few weeks, the police, the dogs. . . the snipers on the roofs.
I take it from your post that you now equate the statements of George Felos with "the FACTS." An amazing progression.
I hate to be the schoolmarm here, but what he said was amazingly timed reflexes
It was a brilliant and caustic statement which exposed the ludicrous idea that Terri Schindler was some sort of "vegetative life" unworthy of being considered a human being.
She was conscious throughout her ordeal, and screaming inside for her parents - anyone - to help her.
But a thug state run by madmen could only laugh at her helplessness, as they enjoyed the cruelty of their verdict.
A bump for Fr. Pavone.
I had a thought on this statement regarding prisoners serving a life sentence without chance of parole. Since society has agreed that their lives are unproductive, can we now refuse to feed them? How 'bout if we follow Bill O'Reilly's recommendation and send such prisoners to the work in the ANWR, only now we could refuse to provide food, or any weapons for hunting.
Here we go again.
Last night there was a thread making a goofy demand that proof be offered that Pavone was not lying (a logical impossibility.)
Not all. But many. In fact, many have posted the same exact statement to which I was responding, logical fallacy and all.
Your assumptions are as far-fetched and as wrong as your preconceptions.
You might try asking me, rather than opening your opinions and inserting your foot.
