Lovely... It's a good start.
Next in line should be FEMA's former head and any number of other officials who seemed to twiddle their thumbs while Rome burned. :roll:

Certainly it could be true. I'd say it's likely.

And it's certainly a tough ethical issue - which is worse ... leaving someone to die in agony, or giving them drugs which take away that agony but cause them to die sooner? I can't say I wouldn't have done the same, I don't know.

This is correct. I was listening to the local radio when they interviewed him. The 2 people who abandoned the patients will be charged with 34 counts of homicide.

I'm thinking this may be a separate incident? Dividing the patients, etc. . .
