THREE PEOPLE were arrested yesterday for trying to do the same thing. Of course, it wasn't on the 'news'.
God sees all of this.
An angel will come soon for Terri. It's been told to me that angels escort believers to heaven. I am so sad for her.
I only say this because I hear of NO one stepping up to hydrate her and feed her and her parents state she is fading fast. So sad. Bush should fly the flag at half mast for her.
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
I would gladly be arrested doing this. If only I was near Florida I would go.
this is a joke, right? maybe a gas chamber would have been more efficient?"
I agree with Tomahawk. Wouldn't it be more "humane" to give her a lethal injection instead of starving her? After all, if we starved the worst mass murderer on death row for as long as 2 weeks, every lawyer in the ACLU would be apoplectic.
I admire her for what she did, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't vote to convict her. She clearly broke the law.
More likely scenario is good luck in finding a prosecutor who will take the charges to court.

Thanks. A good reminder that we are not alone.
I wish there were 10,000 people with water bottles trying to bring them to her. Maybe it would get some attention!!!
We don't kill dogs or cats like this. They get a shot.
We treat them better than Terry is being treated, depriving her of water and food.
This is absolutely barbaric and I'm disgusted to be a citizen of a country that does this to people.
what would happen if the place was stormed by people armed with water bottles? Would lethal force be used against them?
That's right! How dare them do their job! <./sarcasm off>
Such injustice! History is filled with righteous people being persecuted by the law for their actions. This woman stands in a long and noble tradition of practitioners of civil disobedience.
It'll be dismissed.
Arrested for giving "one of the least of these" some water??Well, that certainly is a crime! Where is this country headed?

You will be rewarded many many times over.
I wish I lived near there. I'd try to take her water too.
God bless you, Asphalt, for valuing life.
