Pinellas Park police Lt. Kevin Riley, standing upper right, prepares to arrest members of the Keys family as they were attempting to bring Terri Schiavo water Wednesday morning, March 23, 2005 outside the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla. The Keys family, of Burnet, Tex., kneeling, from left, Josie, 14, Gabriel, 10, Chris, the children's father, and Cameron 12, were all taken into custody. Galen Keys, upper left, the children's mother looks on, but was not arrested.The mother insists it was the children's idea: "I am proud of them," said the boys' mother Geilen Keys from Texas, who was not arrested. "They are very mature and they said 'we want to go and offer some water to Terri'."

Pinellas Park police Lt. Kevin Riley, second from left, handcuffs 14-year-old Josie Keys, left, while Pinellas County Sheriff's deputies place her father Chris in the back of a van after arresting members of the family for trespassing Wednesday morning March 23, 2005 outside the Woodside Hospice in Pinellas Park, Fla. The family members were attempting to bring Terri Schiavo a cup of water.

Gabriel Keys (foreground) is arrested by police officers for trespassing in Pinellas Park, Florida, March 23, 2005. The young protester attempted to take a glass of water into the Woodside Hospice for the brain-damaged Terri Schiavo. A federal judge rejected a request from the parents of Schiavo to order her feeding tube reinserted, dealing a blow to attempts by the U.S. Congress and the White House to prolong her life.

[Dont Mention the War]

Immoral cop pig bastards slime of the earth stinking vile demons of satan

Welcome to DU.

[finnman69]

Except she can't drink water.

[Blzbba]

"It's Spring Break. For certain."


Ahhh. That makes sense.

[Velveeta]

He's no baby.

His name is Gabriel.

I'd say he's an angel.

[kittymyrib]

Thank you for the sad eye-witness report. God bless all of you who are keeping the vigil for us. And thank you for speaking out to the cops who are doing this terrible thing to Christian children who are only doing what Jesus told them to do. I would be so ashamed if one of those cops in those closeups was a member of my family. It shows us that if the government ever ordered them to fire on innocent citizens they would just follow orders and do it. Our liberty hangs by a slender thread.

In the Easter services this weekend perhaps some would consider carrying a small bottle of water in their hand. Just a thought.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

Easter Greetings from the Sunshine State.

[Spiff]

So why are they not at home being schooled or is this spring break?

Home educators set their own schedules. They can educate just about anywhere. They are not shackled to government school schedules or buildings.

[atruelady]

My son is 11 and he said he wished he was there.

So, I can say with complete certaintly that it was the kids choice to be there.


Oh those BRAVE police...not!! Terrorists with badges.

[cubreporter]

Yeah, handcuff innocent kids who are trying to "give a cup of cold water in His name"...yet they let a sex pervert like couey go from place to place and TRUST HIM ON HIS WORD to inform them of his new addresses. But...remember folks, they had to put an ANKLE MONITOR on Martha Stewart because she is SUCH A THREAT TO SOCIETY. This is the most ass backward way of doing things I've ever seen or heard of. Oh yeah, make sure you handcuff those kids...what a joke. People are tryiong to murder Terri Schiavo based on what her lousey husband said she said. Well, that's hearsay. What about the nurses who blew the whistle on Michael? How come they don't take theri testimony as gospel? have yu ever, ever, ever seen such a determination to KILL an innocent soul in your whole life? Disgusting and I will nto forget those who stood by and did nothing. Where are all the voices of the dems who stand for the downtrodden? Oh yeah that's right...they only do that during election year. Wonder if Terri can hang on till 2006? Then maybe some of the gutless wonders will stand up and be counted.

[Wallace T.]

If those police officers and sheriff's deputies had even a shred of decency in their character, they should turn in their badges and guns rather than be the guardians of the Terri Schiavo death chamber.

[TexKat]

Children have fought wars and built nations.

Yes we have some doing just that and dying today.

[Spiff]

You don't need to be 18 to express your opinion. Just 18 to cast a vote.

And you certainly don't have to be 18 to try to take a woman suffering and dying from dehydration a simple cup of water.

[kellynla]

They actually handcuffed the kids?
Ya gotta be kidding me!(sorry I couldn't resist! LOL)

Well here's the number for the Pinellas Park Police Dept.
Everyone should call these clowns and voice their outrage!

Dorene Thomas is Chief of Police

morons...

[atruelady]

I like your tagline.

Know islam, know terror (add: no islam, no terror)

[Junior]

I'm appalled their parents put them in this position.

[kittymyrib]

Yes, it is no accident that Satan plans these Florida moments during Holy Week.

[HostileTerritory]

It's a combination of the modest clothing and the mid-week trip from Texas to Florida.

[clintonh8r]

The irony is frightening.
