You don't anymore. All you have to do in NY is say you are a junkie and you get free, clean syringes.
For that matter, the US Attorney General could rescue Terri, after all she is under Supoena. Who will save Terri? I,m waiting...
I am waiting on some Liberals to tell us that flooding the streets with guns inevitably results in death and destruction.
That's not happening!
No doubt somebody's reading this thread because the Pinellas cops just told the "newsies" a short while ago that "the crowd may surge into the hospice and kidnap Terri".
I suppose they think that's a justification for the guns ~ that is, the threat that they will shoot the crowd.
Now, back to your point ~ exactly which court order is it that the Pinellas Park police have been directed to enforce? At the moment I think the only guy with a court order is the sheriff, and the Pinellas Park police are doing this at the request only of the manager of the hospice.
Given that it's a building with "public access" seems to me the defense of the facility is one that would ordinarily be mounted only to the point of barring the door, not the infliction of lethal force.
Do me a favor, wouldya, oakwood -- I mean "saab_viggen" -- click on my screen name, and read the first line. Then hit the back button.
Ladies and gentlemen of the internet, it is frequently asked why Jim Robinson bans members from Free Republic. The above-referenced post (read it while you still can!) is why. He doesn't like it when people who are so maddog backwards that they suggest that Orval Faubus was right in banning black children from public schools, and should have engaged the 101st Airborne with a militia of knuckle-dragging racists. Had Ike backed down to a defiant Faubus (it is to laugh -- he beat the Nazis but would lose to a jerk like him?) Khrushchev's propaganda victory would have been crowing that communist revolution would be the only way of providing equality for American blacks.
I could speak my mind at this point about the sub-excrement who posted that reply, but I don't have time to say all I want to.
Admin Moderator? Hi, I'd like a large ZOT! to go.
"Faubus should have made a stand back in 1957. There was only a brigade of airborne troops involved, not an entire division. If Faubus ordered his National Guard to stand up to this brigade, the brigade would have been overwhelmed"
Respectfully...I think a squad of the 101st would have routed the entire Arkansas National guard.
LOL
Thanks for the comments. The parallel IMO was that the police didn't protect Elian from being taken into protective custody. Now when it's life and death, they're right there to help facilitate murder. That's very problematic IMO.
That's nonsense. As much as I don't believe that the crowd peacefully protesting this situation is a threat to anyone, any large crowd in opposition to a situation as highly charged as this one requires police presence. Whenever the number of people in a crowd have the ability to overwhelm the peace officers guarding them, weapons MUST be at the ready. It only takes one nut to ruin everything, and according to some reports, some have gone overboard in their support of saving Terri's life.
Well, I can agree with part of what you said. I would imagine that DCS could pick up children and launch an investigation that might take months or longer, never telling the parents where the children were.
Is it right for the children to be kidnapped, then cut off from parents for months? Sorry, I do not agree with that. Visitation at a neutral location could be facilitated.
I've read some real horror stories on this subject.
Yeah. It's all Bush's fault. He didn't do anything. If he'd have wanted to, he could've had a scientist invent a time machine, and then he could've had a SWAT team storm the building, put Terry in it, and send her forward into the future, where they can cure this sort of thing. (Sarcasm off)
Agreed.
I wasn't comfortable with the Faubus argument either. We are talking about a woman's right to life--not a knuckle dragging governor's right to deny a kid the right to go to school.
And it's funny--oakwood also used slashes instead of apostrophes.
WHERE DOES IT SAY IN ANY U.S. CONSTITUTION DOCUMENT THAT IT IS LEGAL FOR A JUDGE TO ORDER THE MURDER OF A KNOWN INNOCENT PERSON?
Well, my friend, let's say goodbye to oakwood saab whatever.
Jeb Bush Is A Wimp. This is no time to pull punches. Hello, there is someones life at stake.
