Danger Zone - (Haleigh Poutre)
National Review ^ | February 01, 2006 | Wesley J, Smith

Posted on 02/01/2006 7:29:10 AM PST by Ohioan from Florida

In the court (and courts) of life and death, a little 11-year-old Massachusetts girl named Haleigh Poutre could be the next Terri Schiavo. For those who have not heard the tragic story, Haleigh was beaten nearly to death last September, allegedly by her adoptive mother and stepfather. The beating left her unconscious and barely clinging to life.

Within a week or so of the beating, her doctors had written her off. They apparently told Haleigh's court-appointed guardian, Harry Spence, that she was "virtually brain dead." Even though he had never visited her, Spence quickly went to court seeking permission to remove her respirator and feeding tube. The court agreed, a decision affirmed recently by the supreme court of Massachusetts.

And so, no doubt with the best of intentions, a little girl who had already suffered so much was stripped by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts of even the chance to fight to stay alive. If she didn't stop breathing when the respirator was removed, which doctors expected, she would slowly dehydrate to death.

Close Call

Then came the unexpected:

I think this one belongs with the earlier silliness.

Yo mama so fat she eats Wheat Thicks.

Thanks. There seems to be an obsession w/not discussing the topic but trying to joust with FV.

Having been when and where Terri was murdered, newbie pests can try but they will never reach that level of barbarism or evil that Terri was put through.

There are annoying pests and then there's pure evil. Annoying pests can't possibly compete with the likes of Judge Greer, Judge Whittemore, the 2nd DCA, The SCOTUS, the Eleventh Circuit, Fla AG Crist, Senator Jim King and his band of reprobate GOP Fla legislators who voted for Terri's death, Sheriff Everett Rice, State Attorney McCabe, Judge David Demers, the ACLU, the death lawyers, the moles and the rest, all law enforcement from local, FBI, FDLE, Homeland Security, US Coast Guard, DCF, Hospice, all the death partnerships who push living wills (bad idea), Bishop Lynch, et al (Jeb hiding under his desk) until Terri was dead.

Yes, all those folks were all somehow involved in Terri's murder.

I just wanted to redirect this thread back to the author. Wesley Smith is a bioethicistwho is totally against the death cultists who snuck into our government and think they can stay there. He's been writing about Terri for a number of years and now he's writing about Haleigh.

It looks like Massachusetts' DSS is not doing any press releases re: Haleigh. This is troublesome to me. Maybe after the president's day holiday is over, there will be an update.

Dr. Dave Weldon wasn't at the capital today. Dr. Dave for President.

I left out Judge Mark Shames, Judge W. Douglas Baird who are as guilty as Greer but didn't sign the death order. That was Greer, the award winner, collecting more awards than Brokeback Mountain.

Florida Senator Jim King is so fat that he couldn't get through the whale entrance at Sea World. (He scared a Terri supporter in his office, "let's say I was dehydrating you. I'd take a swab and swab the inside of your mouth like so." He made a motion towards my friend's mouth. My friend was so upset and frightened afterwards that she barfed in the capital restroom. There were two witnesses to Jim King's demonstration of how to dehydrate a Floridian. He deserves a fat joke).

Here's a web site re: Lisa MacPherson who died in Clearwater, FL. There are graphic photos on this link. I googled images of dehydration and the images are too graphic to post here imo. The person turns into a skeletal ghoul. Remember Felos said how beautiful Terri looked while her brother said that she looked horrific.

LISA MACPHERSON: http://www.lisamcpherson.org/lisapics.htm

This is what Massachusetts had planned for Haleigh Poutre.

Father Pavone also wrote how horrible Terri's last days and hours were. So sad.

Florida infant dies after being shaken

The infant, Elijah Llanos, was pronounced dead at 1:15 p.m. Sunday at a Loxahatchee hospital, but was being kept on life support so his organs could be harvested, sheriff's spokeswoman Teri Barbera said.

In light of recent trends in bioethicking, I wonder if Elijah really is dead, or if they're lying to his 18 year old mother to get his organs.

From you homepage FV.

Judge Greer is a Republican. He should be impeached but he's got more power than Gov. Bush, the US Congress or the President of the United States. Why? I wish the hell I knew.

I wish the hell I knew, too.

>> He deserves a fat joke

Jim King so fat, the gummint wants to add him to the U.S. strategic petroleum reserve.

Jim King so fat, he went swimming and a Japanese whale boat chased him with a harpoon.

Jim King so fat, when he works out, he leaves puddles of lard.

Jim King so fat, his secretary tried to rent him out for hot-air balloon rides.

Jim King so fat, he's being traded to Venezuela for ten million barrels of crude and two future draft picks.

I thought thick skin was a prerequisite for FReeping. ;-) Even so, I guess we all have our days.
