Lawyer thwarted plan to send militias to aid Terri Schiavo:
Operation Ressurection!
BY FRED GRAY NEWS-REVIEW STAFF WRITER
Wednesday, March 30, 2005 12:39 PM EST

Norm Olson, senior adviser to the Michigan militia and pastor of a strong right-to-life church in Wolverine, said Tuesday he had put together an unarmed coalition of state militias that were prepared to storm the Florida hospice where Terri Schiavo has been left to die, and take her to a safe house.

Olson said he needed only the OK from Schiavo's father, Robert Schindler, either directly or through his attorney David Gibbs, to put the plan, called "Operation Resurrection," into action on Sunday.

But Olson said Gibbs contacted the FBI instead of passing his message on to Schindler.

Olson said the FBI had been monitoring e-mails within militia groups and on Tuesday, March 29, sent an agent from Traverse City to his home in Alanson and other agents to militia leaders in the South to question them about the plan.

15. Only for...
Blacks, Gays, immigrants, farm workers, the poor and anyone else they regularly sneer at. Not for themselves, as they are "sovereign citizens".

4. LMFAO...it was rumored they'd killed a wild boar and puree'd it for
immediate insertion into Mrs. Schiavo's feeding tube.

6. To question them?
Conspiracy to commit kidnapping is a crime. Any questioning should be done with these idiots in cuffs.

10. So we know thier lawyer's moral basement.
Edited on Thu Mar-31-05 08:46 AM by K-W
He will lie and mislead.
He will exploit people for exposure and profit.
He will not support attempts to kidnap a woman guarded by the police.

12. In this case, I'm glad he will lie and mislead
When the unarmed militias showed up at the hospice to rescue Terri, and the Pinellas Park police started tasering them and firing rubber bullets into the group, some of you would have been bitching about police brutality.

And I gotta know too: what good is an unarmed militia?

14. Oh certainly.
I guess the idea is that a large enough group of people would be enough to get the police to abandon thier guard for enough time to grab her and get her to the safehouse before more reinforcements could arrive to stop them.

18. They wouldnt have to be.
It would just need to be enough people that the police would know they have no chance of stopping them.

The police would step back and wait for backup, they arent going to fight a massive mob without sufficient force.

It depends on how many people they could have gotten to pinellas park. I am inclined to agree with you that they couldnt raise the force.

19. Or to forget about rubber bullets and go straight to real ones
You know that somewhere in that police detachment guarding the hospice is at least one machinegun.

20. You can tell that lawyer wants to remain a lawyer
He was informed of a crime that was going to be committed. Had he truly been what he p
He wants to keep his job as a lawyer instead of aiding in the instigation of insurrection.

22. Goddamn, that's scarey shit!
This is exactly how the SA helped Hitler come to power. They were not well organized, just a gang of thugs.

Suppose these people are called out against abortionists or atheists or God-hating libruls? Suppose they attack the ACLU next time or start targeting D donors who are public record?

23. It would've been interesting.
I doubt they were really set up to take care of Terri Schaivo.

24. And when she died in their custody
the entire Michigan Militia could be charged with conspiracy to commit murder.

25. it never would have happened anyway
truck bombs and anthrax hoaxes, these rightwing nutjobs can certainly do. nonviolent, unarmed resistance in the face of an armed opponent? they'd have turned tail at the first snort of tear gas.
