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'."

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.
All the comparisons of Terri to Jesus is getting to be too much... But if that is how people want it, then I don't know what the big deal is - if she dies on friday, she'll be back sunday anyway, right?
"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."
Do you know for a fact that she is suffering?
They said on Fox News (or maybe I read it here somewhere) that she has a 2-year old child with her also, so she had to stay on the sidelines with the 2-year-old.
I gotta hand to to Floriduh law enforcement!! They neither knew nor cared where Chester the Molester Couey was lurking, but they're all over women and children trying to sneak water to a dying woman!!
Have some extra donuts, guys -- you've earned it!
Have you seen Terri's mother, father, sister, brother attempt to go against the court order to give Terri water? What makes outsiders think that they could?
I do think that something should be done, and that Terri should be saved, and Michael should be put on trial. But one does not put their children in a situation like this.
Why the disinformation?
- It is well known that Micheal Schiavo received a multi-million dollar malpractice settlement that was supposed to be paying for Terri's care. Of course the worm has embezzled a significant amount of that money to pay for the sleazy lawyers to find a "legal" way to kill her - which, if you had your way, they will soon succeed in.
- It is also well known that Terri's parents have offered to take financial responsibility of caring for her.
- Third parties have offered up millions of dollars to make Micheal go away and to take care of Terri.
The only reason that Terri's care is being paid by Medicare is that her husband (WHO IS TRYING TO KILL HER) used up the funds, meant to care for her, on lawyers and his nursing education*.
* One could presume that his spending this money on a medical career would be a natural course of action to help save his wife. If this were true, then why is he trying so hard to kill her? Could it be that he needed detailed knowledge of how to kill her in a way that wouldn't look like murder? A nurse that cared for Terri had reported to police a suspicious event, where he might have tried to use insulin to kill her.
How does it feel to shill for a possible murderer?
Last week 10 of us women (half us us over 50) went to HINO's house to protest. (We took roses to put on his lawn). The officials were told we were coming-we were met by A SWAT TEAM!
Someone on one of the cable news shows also stated this yesterday.
How much of that stuf fyou just posted is actually true? Do you actually have proof that this guy embezzled? Do you have proof that he drained those funds to pay for lawyers? How much of this is actually factual, rather than "I read it on a website somewhere"???
I'm not being facetious, I'm actually curious...
Not to be a political cynic here, and with total respect to the Schindler family, but Jeb has an opportunity to set the stage for a run at the White House. All he has to do is order the protective services to rescue Terri from starvation.
And he should do it and tell the Florida judiciary to come after him, if it has the guts.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Please, tone it down a bit. BobJ is one of the good guys.
"When did I give you food to eat and water to drink, Lord."
"Amen, Amen, I say to you, as long as you did this for one of the least of my children, you did it for me."
(My paraphrasing.)
Just got home and saw these pictures. Your right, about that! Putting a women to death, her crime is being disabled. Arresting sweet young children, their crime is trying to give water to a dying women.I am sickened at what I'm seeing!
I know that is will be difficult, be please stop being such an ass in public.
Hey, everyone else is being an ass, so I figured if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em...
Oh, and also, bite me.
politicket,Do you know the kids?
I haven't read far into the thread, but I wonder if the parents have talked at any length with the kids about Terry Schiavo, or if the kids have discussed the issue in Sunday School or school religion classes. God Bless the kids, and their parents (especially dad for standing/kneeling with them) for taking a moral stand - even knowing that they would probably be arrested. And God Bless everyone who has been working so hard to stop the starvation killing of Terry Schiavo, through nonstop prayer, legal battling, and even trying to bring water to Schiavo's bedside.
I have been praying all through these past several days since the feeding tube was removed that this battle against evil will be won, and I pray that God will help somebody find the strength to save Terry Schiavo's life.
