Family members are investigating what they consider to be suspicious circumstances surrounding the death of a nursing home patient at the center of a life and death tug-of-war reminiscent of the Terri Schiavo tragedy.
Seventy-nine-year-old Jimmy Chambers died in the early morning hours of Oct. 24 after the tracheotomy tubes that deliver oxygen from a ventilator to a hole in his neck became unhooked. Family members were told Chambers, a resident of the Anne Maria Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in North Augusta, S.C., apparently pulled the interlocking tubes apart.
"We're having it investigated. We're just incredulous," Chambers' daughter, Deanna Potter, told WND in reference to her siblings. "The last time I saw dad he was blowing me a kiss. I blew him one and he blew one back."
The retired dispatcher for Holland Motor Express died approximately 10 hours later. His death certificate indicates he died of "natural causes."
"Apparently, suffocation is a 'natural cause' when you're on a ventilator. We're contesting that," said Potter. "He suffocated. He didn't just pass away. He struggled and fought. And I'm just so angry."
Potter estimates it would have taken 10 to 14 minutes for her father, deprived of oxygen, to fall unconscious, and questions why the nursing home staff didn't come to his aid.
"The oxygen-saturation meter and his ventilator both would have had alarms going off. Four-thirty, five o'clock in the morning you'd think someone would hear this," she added. "That's the thing that really bothers me and makes me suspicious."

Yet Judge Greer, a hardworking judge committed to the rule of law, to the independence of the judiciary, and to the fundamentals of American democracy, received as a result of his efforts hate mail and death threats resulting in 24-hour security, had to move out of his home, and was asked to leave his church, all in the course of doing his job.
Oh dear! Perhaps his boss, taxpayers, DON'T agree that he was committed to the rule of law and hardworking for American democracy. Asked to leave his church? Why not, scientology and where Truth is spoken, for starters, thou shalt not kill, don't mix.
Folks really are awfully kind
To help get my story refined.
I can spend my days merry
Since I don't have to carry
The load of Mike's "plot" in my mind.
I just need to check on their postings
And follow their pathways of roastings
Of my "out of whack" thinking.
Yet my tale is not shrinking
Folks make it live on through their boastings.
Three others now carry the load
Each providing my tale an abode
This needn't alarm them
Those few words can't harm them
'Though the story's "too strange" to be told.
If we cling to bad feelings, we must necessarily skew our perception, degrade our decision-making,
That's why no great novels (like in the 19th Century) seem to be written anymore: truth is far stranger than fiction.
Remember too that 65 percent of voters who came to the polls in August 2004 endorsed the retention of the popular George W. Greer. I guess he is the "people's judge." That's the trouble in this tragedy: "the people."
Stark contrast indeed between Judge Beauchesne and Judge Greer. Anyone give Judge Beauchesne an award? Or are awards given out in Florida only?
I think you have to do something really heinous to get such rewards.
Painful reminder, here is a reprint from a March 31 article on a day we remember. From Agape Press:

To write fiction these days, you can tell the truth and then strip it down so it will be readable fiction. Otherwise, it is too extreme to read.

For good reason, I don't see 'voting' as being purely the will of the people. Have we ever seen the 'controlling powers' that be get what 'they' want in spite of 'the people'. Those pesky chads come to mind. Run unopposed? Who would approve an investigation and for what? And 'they' know that. Didn't hear anyone have an problem 'reading' this time or being disinfranchise. Imo, voter fraud appears to be just a another way for the slime to continue 'doing business'.
This morning, I heard that Michael Schiavo was nominated by People Magazine as the top 10 People of the Year. I haven't been able to find a link to this report.
IMO, Dorky Derek paid People Magazine or maybe he's a shareholder in People. (lots of liberal democrats have holdings in media companies).
HINO is a top ten looooooser.
The fundamentals of a perfect crime. How to murder someone in five years or less.
"Yet Judge Greer, a hardworking judge committed to the rule of law"
fv says: This is not the rule of law. Judge Greed said, "The law of the case is that she will die." That is the rule of the CASE, not the rule of law. The case was a total SHAM, a SCAM. SCHIAVO-GATE

JUDGE GREER CHEATED IN 2004. But, the Judicial Qualifications Commission would hear nothing of it. If that ILLEGAL GREER TV COMMERCIAL IS STILL ON LINE, please post it here, bb. Thanks and Merry Christmas. There's still time for lurkers and media to see one way judges steal elections in Florida.
The lies written in Time Magazines meniton of Terri are maddening!!
Woe to those who call good evil and call evil good!!
I did a google search. LMAO! We aren't the only ones who think the whole thing is weird.
It's really not funny when you think about the root cause of the hilarity....Scientology.
No, Greer did have opposition from a very fine candidate, who was repudiated by the people of Pinellas and Pasco countiesl. I believe that the local people in both parties were strong cheerleaders for the "cause" of exterminating poor Terri.
That's a no brainer. The law states that someone convicted of murder, cannot profit off that murder. Scott Peterson is a disconnected sociopath, who still doesn't understand what he's done. Of course his lawyer could have filed, just so he could garnish the proceeds for payment of his fees.
the local people
Scientologists?
