The culture of death realizes that it's more acceptable to kill the "brain dead" than it is to kill the disabled.

When you repeat the lie often enough it will eventually become the truth...

I’m waiting for justice to catch up to her murderer...

This side of the grave...

The modern news media is the collective embodiment of the term 'brain dead', but they tend to project their feelings of inadequacy over their own neural shortcomings upon anyone lacking their own limited motor skills.

Terri was murdered. Florida is a death state.

And justice could take the name of a truck bumper as he's crossing the street, for all I care.

It was the sentence of the state not the husband. The state alone has the power of death.

They don’t even report the race of assailants when asking for help locating them so nothing surprises me.

The state alone has the power of death.

And if you read Amendments Five and Six of the Constitution, the state ONLY has the power to take someone's life if there is a grand jury indictment AND if the person is convicted by a jury.

Terri WAS NOT charged with any crime, therefore the state DID NOT have the constitutional power to take her life.

But, they did anyway. This is possible only because the hospitals are an institution of the state in the same department as the courts and justice. Doctors are officers of the state just like prison wardens. This went through the courts, and we are perhaps blinded since no crime was charged. The power has nothing to do with crime against the state, it exists on its own.

Yes, I’ve read this nonsense before. It is full of “we don’t know how she was hurt,” allegations that the Schindlers missed filing deadlines and the overall presumption that, when in doubt, the state should always err on the side of death.

What it DOES NOT address is by what authority the State of Florida was allowed to put a person to death without a grand jury indictment or trial by jury, nor does it explain by what authority a probate judge was authorized to ignore Congressional subpoenas.

Perhaps you might answer this question, if Terri was “incapable” of eating and drinking orally, why was it necessary to prevent, with armed officers, her family from trying?

My personal experiences with The Orlando "Slantinel" and it's coverage of local issues, tell me that it is a leftist rag.

The newspaper is more of an advocate than a reporting organization. If anyone gives me a copy, I use it as ground cover under my garden mulch.

You are wrong. The State found the evidence to be "clear and compelling" that Michael Schiavo was following his wife's wishes not to to be kept alive using ex-ordinary means. Feeding tubes fall into such s category under the Fl. Constitution. You may not like Greers ruling but it was upheld up all the way to the USSC, which also slapped down the Bush administration for passing a "Terri's law" that was clearly a bill of attainder. The people of FL. voted every politician that thought he would profit from this hyper emotional media created event out of office...Charlie Crist who defied J. Bush on this circus while he was State Atty. General then went on to win election as Governor by a 70% margin. Judge Greer was re-elected to his office by an even larger margin against a candidate who ran on nothing but his opposition to Greer's handling og the Schiavo.

Lesson for all you moral nannies...keep your collective noses out of personal family affairs concerning end of life or death with dignity issues. You have done irreparable damage to conservatism and the GOP with your dogmatic ignorance...

Did they at the time of Terri's initial injury?

Got it, you prefer the wishes of an estranged, adulterous "spouse" over those of the family.

If anyone lives in the area, write an editor’s letter to the newspaper, or call a talk show in the area.
