Showdown
I haven’t posted on the Schiavo case because I didn’t care much about it. But now I do.
From Knight-Ridder, via Eschaton:
Agents of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement told police in Pinellas Park, where Schiavo lies at Hospice Woodside, that they were on the way to take her to a hospital to resume her feeding.
For a brief period Thursday morning, local police, who have officers around the hospice to keep protesters out, prepared for what sources called a showdown.
A “showdown” between local and state police. In 2005, not 1805. In the United States of America, not Sierra Leone.
Whatever you think about this case, is it really worth the breakdown of law and order?
