"No, but you can stop making a public spectacle of yourself."

Yeah, there's this local woman whose 14-year-old son died of cardiac arrest while running and she just won't stop trying to persuade schools and public venues to buy AEDs. She even had the gall to persuade a local health care company to donate 38 of the things to high schools and had the temerity to appear on TV to talk about it!!! I mean, what business does she have trying to get folks to do that? She should just get over that public grief and keep it to herself.

That reminds me, Gone GF...

There is a scene in Mission Impossible 3 wherein tom terrific is racing against time to save a fellow agent who has a bomb stuck up her nose. He needs an AED to deliver a shock in order to deactivate the bomb. Alas, the aircraft they are on is not equipped with an AED.

She's looking for a sponsorship deal from a company that makes the whatever they are.

I'm not familiar with that particular loon. Sounds like another attention hog trying to wring some meaning from a personal tragedy ... at public expense of course.

Strongarmed some gullible health care company, eh? Well, there's always some sucker who will fall for the boo hoo chorus, I guess.

I mean, what business does she have trying to get folks to do that?

Exactly.

She should just get over that public grief and keep it to herself.

Hear, hear!

14 year old kids die how many times a year in this country while running? She wants the school to waste resources because her kid died. Tell her to take a hike.
