It’s starting.
The American Taliban have increasingly been advocating and threatening violence over Terri Schiavo’s imminent demise.
A man was arrested after trying to steal a weapon from a gun shop so he could “take some action and rescue Terri Schiavo,” authorities said.
Michael W. Mitchell, of Rockford, Ill., entered Randall’s Firearms Inc. in Seminole just before 6 p.m. Thursday with a box cutter and tried to steal a gun, said Marianne Pasha, a spokeswoman for the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office.
Mitchell, 50, told deputies he wanted to “take some action and rescue Terri Schiavo” after he visited the Pinellas Park hospice where she lives, Pasha said.
It’s actually quite amazing that more serious attempts have not come to light, but that could be explained by the fact that everyone is so busy fleecing the flock that they simply don’t have the time to kill any judges today.

The Only Way to Heaven
Everyone longs for heaven
Nobody wants to die
But the only way to heaven
is to cross the great divide
When the grim reaper comes a callin’
Take his chilly hand
Grim reaper’s gonna lead you
Into the promised land
Doctor, Doctor, Doctor
Pull that plug on me
O, I wanna go to heaven
Won’t you set my spirit free
Everyone longs for heaven
Nobody wants to die
But the only way to heaven
is to lay you down and die
Grinning Reaper
