George Pickering took a gun into Tomball Regional Medical Center in Texas to stop doctors from taking his 27 year old son off life support following a massive stroke. During the standoff, the braindead-declared young man squeezed his father's hand. The rest of his family had already given up, arranged for organ donations-- but not his dad. The law was broken, and for all the right reasons. The armed medical intervention took place years after "John Q.", a Denzel Washington movie about a man with similar motives. Get to know the real case. Eric is back with Kendra, two former cops breaking down true crime in style. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Doctors at a hospital in Texas informed George Pickering that his son was in a state of brain death. They explained that his son showed "no brain activity" and the decision had been made to remove life support. Pickering, however, was unconvinced by their assessment and resorted to extreme measures by drawing a firearm. He demanded that the doctors continue their efforts to save his son's life, threatening to use the gun if they refused. This situation escalated into a tense standoff lasting three hours, during which Pickering faced off against the police while the medical team performed additional tests on his son. The hospital was secured under lockdown as police negotiators tried to reason with Pickering, who remained adamant. In a pivotal moment, Pickering's son, previously declared braindead, responded to his father's request to squeeze his hand, indicating cognitive presence. Following this revelation, Pickering peacefully surrendered to the authorities. George Pickering II subsequently served a prison sentence of 11 months. Remarkably, his son experienced a complete recovery.

Wadehttps://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2019/04/10/abortion-foes-mount-direct-challenges-roe-wade/39326001/ Dear Friends,After reading the following letter sent to the President, I would urge you to write your own letter to him that is related to this same subject because mine will probably never reach his desk inside the Oval Office at the White House. While it may be rather difficult to comprehend and imagine what life might be like because you were unwilling to take the initiative, at this time, for trying to contact the White House on this very crucial matter, it would be worse than Atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki in Japan. So, I must ask for your help right now. On your search engine, please type-in: President Donald J. Trump – The White House and at that website, scroll-down to the very bottom where you will see an icon shaped like an envelope. Then click-on that gray icon, which will take you to the website where you will fill-in all of the required information and your email letter at the bottom of that page and follow directions. JWS April 10, 2019 The PresidentThe White House1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NWWashington, DC 20500 RE: A NEED FOR A MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM RATHER THAN A SPACE FORCE Dear Mr. President: Instead of just a private citizen expressing an opinion for a Missile Defense System rather than a Space Force, let me inform you that we are now involved in the Venezuelan Missile Crisis on La Orchila Island, Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea and Punta Huete, Nicaraguain Central America as well as the North Korean Missile Crisis in East Asia and the Western Pacific. But unlike the former Cuban Missile Crisis during 1962 or the Nicaraguan Missile Crisis in 1983 when Grenada was invaded by U.S. Armed Forces, these current crises are already operational.This means we may not be able to prevent Intermediate-Range Ballistic Missiles armed with Thermonuclear Warheads reaching us from the Caribbean and Central America or ICBMs on the Korean Peninsula from also striking at America. While President Franklin D. Roosevelt invited Albert Einstein with an IQ of about 180 to visit at the White House, it should be possible for another private citizen with and IQ beyond 220 to also be invited to meet with you. Dr. Bill Deagle must be invited because of his ability to design an effective Missile Defense System while my understanding of geopolitical and geophysical phenomena is far beyond the various intelligence agencies in Washington, which is why America still exists. Mr. President, you cannot afford to ignore us any more while we are already in such a peril. Sincerely, John W. Spring…http://americanrtl.org/President Donald Trump Understands ISIS but Not AbortionPresident Donald Trump and ISIS: For all his moral failures, President Elect Donald Trump does understand that ISIS is evil and needs to be stopped, not contained or regulated. A dozen organizations joined RegulationsR.us to launch their social media campaign to urge the Islamic terrorist group ISIS to employ more humane forms of killing.

The study also says that these risk factors are “consistent with the effects observed in previous studies on younger women.” (See “Risk Factors for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer,” Brinton, et al., American Association for Cancer Research.)Second NCI Scientist to Confirm Abortion Link: “Pro-choice” Janet Daling has reportedthat “[A]mong women who had been pregnant at least once, the risk of breast cancer in those who had experienced an induced abortion was 50 percent higher than among other women.”Endocrinologist Being Vindicated: Endocrinologist Dr. Joel Brind of Baruch College in New York City is the original dissenter at the NCI’s conference that rejected the abortion link to breast cancer.
