Schiavo Dies 13 Days After Tube Removed
48 minutes ago

PINELLAS PARK, Fla. - Terri Schiavo, the severely brain-damaged woman who spent 15 years connected to a feeding tube in an epic legal and medical battle that went all the way to the White House and Congress, died Thursday, 13 days after the tube was removed. She was 41.

I don’t know. I believe her parents should have had the chance in these last 15 years to have her thearpy applied. I don’t like Michael S and I don’t believe his intentions with Terry were honest and upfront. I also know that those children shot and killed on the indian reservatin deserve this type of press and mourning, I know that if this had happened in a all white school, Terry Schiavo would ahve been moved to page two. I know that human life is valuable, but somehow I don’t believe the main stream media cares too much. It took Bush a week to address the reservations loss, and countless news medias have not addressed it at all.

My heart goes out to those victims, grandfather, Daryl “Dash” Lussier, 58, a veteran tribal police officer, and his grandfather’s girlfriend, Michelle Sigana, 32, at their home on the reservation.
Weise then went to the school, where he shot and killed teacher Neva Winnecoup-Rogers, 62, and Derrick Brun, 28, a security guard. The first five students killed were identified as: Dwayne Lewis, 15; Chase Lussier, 15; Alicia Spike, 15; Thurlene Stillday, 15; and Chanelle Rosebear, 15.
Five victims remain hospitalized with two in critical condition. (I’m not told which two died.) Steven Cobenais, 15, took a gunshot wound to the side of his head. Jeffrey May, 15, was shot in the face and has suffered paralysis on his left side. Other hospitalized victims were identified as: Ryan Augunash, 15; Lance Crowe, 15; and Cody Thunder, 15. My heart greeves for the gunman Jeff Weise, age 16, I pray you found what you were hurting after. Terry Schiavo, I hope you can get some rest now, and console your parents. RIP and my prayers to anyone who has lost someone.

Terry Schiavo.. I have 36 minutes to speak

March 23, 2005 – 4:22 pm

The entire country is up in arms about Terry Schiavo. I have my opinions and I’m sure I will get to them, as that is the point of a blog, but I must first say I’m so sorry this whole thing has come to this. I have been watching the Schiavo situation for years literally. I came across her family’s web site when I had just finish having a heated discussion with my now fiance about my life should it be found in a Broccoli like state. So unlike most of America I have followed for a little longer than most.
My opinion is that Terry Schiavo may not be in a veggie state, and should be given over to her parents. Why for two reasons, if she can breathe on her own the she should not be starved to death, and if there was no written living will then refusing nourishment is not a humane way to die.
Personally I don’t believe Michael Schiavo has exhausted all physical therapy options for Terry, I don’t care if there is money left for him to inherit, he got enough in the judgment that went directly to him, and spent her medical funds on legal fees to win the right to terminate her life. If there is a chance, a shred of hope that she can be rehabilitated I think she should be given the chance. Michael says she doesn’t move or respond to him, in a room with a man who doesn’t believe in me, wants to kill me I don’t think I would be too animated with him either. I don’t like Michael, I just don’t. He has his life and he comes off as though Terri is a burden, and as a woman and mother I can identify with her and her parents on so many levels. If I were terry I would want my parents to work with me and wish Michael the best. I am not a republican and prefer not to be thought of as a democrat. I don’t agree with Bush and Congress on their interference, because I don’t want government interference in these types of situations to become the norm but if I had that power I probably would have tried too. (never thought I would agree with Duba) If those tapes on her families site just show one percent of her possibilities I think she deserves that chance. But that’s just me.

About actors who have a false sense of everything…

January 16, 2005 – 7:32 am

I was reading the new this morning and in the entertainment section I found this,

AUSTIN, Texas - Actor Jason Patric has sued an Austin police officer for allegedly violating his civil rights by using excessive force and falsely imprisoning him in March.

Patric, 38, was charged with public intoxication and evading arrest after being stopped by an officer while walking with a group of friends in the city.
The charges were dropped a month later after prosecutors cast doubt on the evidence.
Patric claims in the lawsuit that he “was doing nothing illegal, was sober and was clearly not a danger to himself or to others.”
A police spokeswoman declined comment late Friday, saying the department had not seen the lawsuit.

I found it hilarious that this young actor is offended by the way police treat people on an everyday basis. If you know how many times I have been pulled over and removed from my vehicle forcefully handcuffed, detained in a cruiser then released after an hour for no reason, or arrested on a warrant that they claim was unpaid from my horrible driving days as a teenager for running a stop sign (which I’ve paid by lawyer at least three times- and have had the paper work in the car with me at least twice) Maybe this would be funnier to you. But I’m not an actor so maybe that makes all the difference.
