Children put in hand cuffs for trying to give Terri water, I am appalled.
These officers remind me of those at Klamath sent there by their government to deny 1500 farming families of their water. They didn't want to be there. When talked to about what they were actually helping accomplish, most would move off and not talk to you anymore.
Surely many of these officers feel the same. God grant that they will not follow these orders to "protect" a woman whom they are killing by arresting those who would try and save her.
These pictures need broad exposure on FOX and all over the country.
Man, doesn't this just make you proud to be an American? /Sarcasm on and going full blast!
What a relief the police where there to take down those dangerous criminals! In what twisted, morally bankrupt and evil world is offering a dying woman a drink of water considered to be a crime????? How could we have sunk this low?
In defense of the LEOs...they probably have department regulations dictating handcuffs for any person arrested...still sucks, and I'm sure they knew how it would look...common sense isn't common.
More than anything else, the Terri Schindler story is the death of the mainstream (broadcast) media; they've failed completely in covering the landmark event of the year -- not because of the conventional drama of armies on the march, but because they have no language and emotion for communicating this story. It's not about ideology; it is about compassion. The story is not so much about Terri -- as it is about the different responses to the facts, and what people regard as the facts, from their own experiences and understanding of life. The subject herself is almost the perfect Rohrschach ink blot. It's ultimately not about Terri -- but about everybody else.
The best the mainstream media can come up with is their bogus polls, "As you may already know..." What a presumption; we don't know, and the more one knows, the less one could say that it is merely a matter of a right to die issue; it is a right to die versus a right to live -- and which should trump which. Apparently to a lot of liberals, the right to die should trump the right to live only in the case of human beings but should be inviolable in the case of anything else -- even trumping the right of any other species over that of a human, so confused are they, so determined to be "right." It's not about rights or who is right. It is about what is human.
The richness in the discussion of this is where the new media of interaction vastly surpasses their laughable polling feedback which is already so biased in their design and intent. The death of Terri Schindler was the death of the mainstream media to be a viable, credible part of American life. To the end, they insisted on telling the people, vastly more intelligent, informed and compassionate than they are, what to think and how empty it was to be them. They had nothing worth learning about -- to be a better human being.
I sure hope this isn't a case of grown-ups exploiting children, the way the liberals do when they send kids on protest marches and sit-ins at state capitols, etc.
Those kids look home-schooled.
Something has to give. This is not what America was intended to be.
This is insane. What's happened to this country?
Der Polizei must be very proud.
I'm not sure I agree with using the kids this way.
They put a baby in handcuffs!
Adults using children as pawns.
I would rather starve to death than be a paid policeman handcuffing Christian children who want to bring a drink of water to a dying woman. God is not mocked. There will be some major punishment for this cruelty.
These are the Christian leaders of the future. They are in the Right-to-Life marches, abortion clinic actions, and many have had handcuffs on by the time they are 16. These will be the battle-hardened Christians of the future. They will not be content to sit on their butts and let Satan's followers push them around. More power, God's power, to them.
Dear God
Please forgive those who have abandoned YOU and YOUR LAW.
Please protect these children from evil.
Please forgive this nation.
AMEN
Ping...
Can't do the time, don't do the crime.
I wonder if the Freepers who regularly applaud prison/jail rape will weigh in on this thread?
