The TASERS ARE OUT at the "Schiavo Hospice" in Florida
I just heard this on the news break on Hannity's show. Apparently someone else worked as a decoy while this guy tried to slip into the hospice.

PINELLAS PARK, FL -- Protests outside Terri Schiavo's hospice turned violent Tuesday when police were forced to use a taser gun to take down an activist trying to break in.

Investigators say the man attempted to force his way into the front doors. Several officers worked together to stop and arrest him.

The suspect was taken away wearing a bulletproof vest. It is not clear if he had put it on himself or if the police had put it on him for safety after the arrest.

1. They should arrest the watercarrying idiots for attempted murder.
Giving a person who can't swallow water will choke them to death. Is that how they want her to die?

3. I feel awful for families of other patients
I heard last week that one woman couldn't get in to spend final minutes with her grandfather -- I'm sure there will be others who are denied the chance to say goodbye to their loved ones thanks to this sideshow.

I feel awful for the families of the whackjobs outside...
The families have to spend holidays listening to their nonsensical religious rantings.

9. I have no idea when Terri's time will come, but if the tasers are out,
and this IS in Florida, people will be killed/die very soon. Florida plus Tasers equals Someone is going to die. How many reports of taser deaths have there been in the past 3 weeks in Florida? It seems like I recall at least 3.

20. Sadly...
I have had a fear all day that someone is going to die over this. And I don't mean just Ms. Schiavo. Their mob mentality is starting to get a little crazy.

10. CNN Video
Video - CNN: Man runs for hospice and is tasered by police - 3/29

As attention is focused on Jesse Jackson, a man makes a break for the hospice and makes it to the front door. He is eventually tasered and wrestled to the ground by police.



Video in Real Media format (3 minutes)

11. Thanks
I miss heard that wrong. He used Jesse's presence to try this. He must not have heard (see my post above) that there are at least 4 check points INSIDE the hospice.

28. Why are these people allowed to be there?
Why aren't these people told "GO HOME"? Don't they have jobs? Kids are done with spring break now so what about them? Didn't Reagan make it illegal to protest at hospital grounds?

15. From video link above-Bible professor from Scranton-WilkesBarre
I guess he was going to fight his way through the checkpoints inside and give water to a woman who may or may not have the ability to swallow.

I'd pay to see that.

24. If I had a loved one at that hospice... I would be doing all that I
could to move them to another hospice. This is too unstable of a place right now- and certainly not a place of peace where one can die in peace with dignity.

27. I guess there's no...
Edited on Tue Mar-29-05 09:12 PM by brook
legal way to evict these cretin circus clowns from the town - but if I had a loved one in the hospice, or a child who was forced to attend a different school because of this idiocy, I'd be speed dialing rent-a-lawyer, looking for some recourse.


At the very least, get a water truck to go past them, full-spray, as many times a day and night as it takes to dampen their enthusiasm for stupid causes.


edited 'cause I can't spell. :)

29. Ms Schiavos bro said these zealots
don't speak for his family. They should have thought things through when Randel Terry shoved his way in as their spokeperson
