Several people have asked what they can do to help Jimmy Chambers

As it is an affair within the state of South Carolina involving private citizens, common sense would argue that this is an issue for South Carolinians and South Carolinians only. However don't let that stop you. Why don't we just skip the bothering local officials and jump straight to calling our federal officials to involve themselves in an internal state issue? Don't you have a form letter to send to the President or a few Senators?

And for the record, as these folks are from out of town, I seriously doubt there is anyone she is in cahoots with. And no Scientologists for 500 miles.

Also, any person who has actual knowledge of the abuse, neglect, or exploitation of a vulnerable adult must report the incident.

Well even if they did report there was no abuse, would you believe them if it didn't fit into the 'sky is purple' view of the world?

Does the fact that a man is being murdered make any impression at all on you? Does it bother you that he specifically requested to be kept on the ventilator, and it may be taken away anyway? Is there any circumstance in which you believe a person has the right to live? Nevermind. You've answered that over the course of your posting history.

"As it is an affair within the state of South Carolina involving private citizens, common sense would argue that this is an issue for South Carolinians and South Carolinians only."

I posted that information prior to BB, and I'm a South Carolinian -- so tell all that to me, all right?. This "affair" "involving private citizens" is now a court case, and court cases are public matters. Involvement from all over is welcome, because sometimes court decisions result in something called a precedent. (Look the term up if you don't know what it means. I'm sure you're capable.) Precedents are then used as a guide in deciding other cases - in other states, sometimes the whole country, potentially affecting everyone. Maybe even you.

1. You are injured.
2. You clearly communicate that you want to live.
3. Someone orders you doped up so much that you can't communicate, and removes any means of communication.
4. Then you can be killed.

That's Billbear's America. Who wants that America?
