During Jackson's visit, a man was tackled to the ground by officers when he tried to storm into the hospice, police said.

Dr. Dow Pursley, Ed.D, aged 57, teaches ethics at Baptist Bible College and Seminary in Scranton, PA. Tasered and charged with burglary for trying to bring her a bottle of water.

Her family priest was denied the ability to give her daily Communion. The only time she's received Communion since the feeding and hydration tubes were withdrawn was Easter Sunday. At that time, the hospice's own minister watched Terri's family priest (a Monsignor, actually, which is one step up from priest) during the service to make sure that he did not attempt to sneak her food or water.

Hard to comprehend that in America, the police can - and will - keep a priest from a dying woman's bedside.

I've taken my summer vacation in Florida for many years, but never again. I was even planning on retiring there. We won't spend another penny in Florida voluntarily.
