I won't post a vanity on this again, but just wanted to give Terri's supporter a feeling of what it was like to be at the hospice.

I don't think there is anything wrong with asking the police about whether they've considered quitting or calling in sick. Didn't Hitler's mass extermination start by people who were "just following orders"?

We can't let this experience fade this summer.

Let it burn for as long as it takes to change our leadership, mainly the judicial system, but also the RINOs who won't stand up to them.

Thanks for being there. I would like to say that you represented FR well, but from what I can tell, many people on FR think she needs to die, and the sooner the better.

And as you know, we have an earthquake and a possible tsunami that happened thousands of miles away that we need to worry about and speculate about. Judicial tyranny in our country is nothing to concern ourselves with, I mean, we have better things to do. sarcasm off/

Once again, thank you.

There is nothing wrong with asking the police about quitting. IMO I would reckon that most LEO would probably consider that particular assignment a rather crappy assignment. They are sworn in and have taken an oath similar to the military. If an order (unlikely) came down the chain to go into the hospice and rescue Terri most would be moving at lightning speed. I know I would anyway.

That a LEO would consider himself to be "paramilitary" is pretty disturbing. He probably doesn't really know what the definition of paramilitary is.

Am I to understand, FR, that there is psychological profiling going on before being released from jail?

God how I wish I were there too.

Thank you very much for your first-hand account. I certainly don't have a problem with the conversation you had with the police. I would have come to the same conclusion you did regarding the woman who got so upset. Paramilitary? Could mean they are reserves of some type, but I don't know. I'm just sickened by this whole thing. I'm ashamed of Gov and Pres Bush, and I never thought I'd say that.

Terri Schiavo Before dehydration

God Bless you Terri in your hour of death

Let everyone who said your beautiful smile was fake be haunted by it for the rest of their days.

Awesome post. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for standing up for Terri. I have emailed Jeb and have not heard back. May God not judge us for the actions of a few.

God bless

The other spoke up and said something about it was all part of the job.

Move along! Nothing to see! Move along!

/Sarcasm off

Sounds like you did a good job representing FR. Respectful yet pull no punches. Someone has to ask these questions. I am afraid hope for Terri is lost yet let us not let her suffering go to waste. We need to remember this and act accordingly! Vote and call your representatives folks! Let's not let this die or be killed like Terri!

Did you meet my buddy Dave from Ohio? Was he effective in his work? He was the guy in the hat with the cross on it.

picture of Terri a couple of years after the accident. Does this look like a vegetable? This picture was taken a couple years after the "accident" - before all therapy was forbidden.

IMHO you go ahead and post a vanity on this anytime you want. Thank you so much for that report. You certainly did enable me to feel the atmosphere there.

What amazes me is that the media keeps saying that there is little support in America for Terri, yet they have covered the story night and day, obviously aware that Terri supporters must represent a major percent of their audience. It is, however, a shame that more could not be there. Including myself.

Thank you and your husband for your contributions - spiritually, physically and financially. God Bless you good people.
