The announcement didn't come as a surprise to Gotbaum family lawyer
Michael Manning.

"We never believed that the officers intentionally killed her," he
said. "From what we know ... they may have been grossly negligent in
how they treated her. But they certainly were not acting criminally."

"Carol Anne Gotbaum, 45, was on her way to an alcohol-rehab center in

Not acting out; likely, under severe stress, and said she was sick.

I don't have this aching need inside of me to blame someone for this
tragedy... but I find it EXTREMELY disturbing when I actually KNOW
that someone at Homeland Security is getting away with murder.
Argh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Combative is the term.  Probably had a case of the DT's.

If you ever get the chance to watch Michael Caine speak out about the
time he was detained as a possible terrorist because he fit Homeland
Security's terrorist profile... then you might be able to understand
how and why ANY woman traveling ALONE could have easily become
overwhelmed with fear and anxiety when her attempt to reach a SAFE
HAVEN in an unfamiliar environment was intentionally thwarted by a
sadistic EVIL bastard.

Sometime in the near future you're going to find out just how easy it
is to COVERTLY f.ck with (harass) people... for whatever reasons.
Think neurological warfare... something capable of creating AGITATED
STATES. And I can't believe just how IGNORANT some people actually
are... that they have yet to realize that 9/11 laid the groundwork for
legalizing government-sponsored terrorism.

-------------------------------------------
Oh Poleezzzzzz.
This is nothing new for God's sake.
Years ago (way before 9/11) I had a friend (female, BTW) who flew from
Utah to San Diego to escort her ill (but ambulatory) brother on yet
another flight to a hospital in Des Moines, Iowa.  Then she flew back
to Utah; all in one day.

When she deplaned she was detained, searched and questioned about the
purpose of her hop-scotching travel that day.  Why?  Because she fit
the M.O. of a drug mule.  No checked baggage and all that touch and go
travel in one day.

It made logical sense as to why she'd be looked up as suspicious.
Being a clear headed, non-paranoid citizen, she understood that
authorities were doing their job and she had no reason to fear, kick,
scream or otherwise 'act out'.  In fact she she was released, she
thanked them for helping to keep control drug trafficking.  She's
enjoyed sharing that story with people for years !!!

Myself, I was stopped late one night by the police.  I was
cooperative, my passengers were cooperative and the police officer
walked all around my car and then told me I could go.  He said that
they were looking for a red car with out of state plates that had been
involved in a hit and run.  Well, my car was red and had out of state
plates but obviously had not been in any accident.  I didn't feel
'targeted', hassled, or 'f'ed with'.

So Alison, I suggest you watch tons of comedy movies in the future.
And hopefully get over this delusion that "sadistic EVIL bastards' are
awaiting to intentionally thwart "ANY WOMAN" traveling alone.  Oh, yes
and don't travel if you are high on drugs or in deep alcohol
withdrawals either.  It tends to make women act less than civilized.

I'm looking forward to that "once-in-a-lifetime" job interview that
requires you to fly across the country and then catch a returning
flight the same day... although, that would be highly unlikely
considering the state of the airlines these days and their ability to
f.ck up anyone's plans at DHS's request. I will especially be looking
forward to when you miss that connecting flight because some a.shole
thinks you fit some cock-a-mamie terrorist profile. We'll see if you
can convince your job interviewer to give you another opportunity to
sell yourself. Say-la-vie, baby... seeya on skidrow.

Have you ever heard of the term 'borrowing trouble'?

Act like an adult.  Don't go ballistic IF there is a flight delay.
It's wild animals on the loose that get nets tossed over them

Not familiar with the name.

Is she a runner?  Maybe one of the ones who keeled over in last years

Otherwise I don't understand the relevance here in this newsgroup.

The system protects its own, as usual, the same as happened with
Amadou Diallo , Patrick Dorismond, Dwain Lee (shot 4 times in the
back), Mario Paz, William J. Whitfield, Alberto Sepulveda, Anibal
Carrasquillo (an 11-year-old shot in the back), Donald Scott, or the
hundreds of other innocent people killed by cops.

In this instance, the worst that the police were accused of was
not keeping her under close surveillance.  On the other hand, if
they *had* kept her under close surveillance there would have
been other complaints.

Are you meaning that being detained for acting out in a very bizzare
and disruptive manner in public area is on the same level as 'getting
raped'????

Yes... especially if you missed your flight connection and your once-
in-a-life-time chance/opportunity to enter a chemical dependency
facility geared to save lives was lost... because some f.cking a.shole
with a bug up his/her a.s wanted to toy around with you. There's a
long line waiting to get into these treatment centers. A missed flight
connection that could result in a 24 hour delay would be enough for
you to lose your bed/slot and your ONLY chance to enter the facility.

I'm going to bet someone knew where she was going... knew that she had
been drinking... and decided to f.ck with her emotional instability...
thus resulting in her death. As far as I'm concerned the cocksucker is
guilty of MURDER... plain and simple.

Oh great!  Now you think it was some kind of a conspiracy, out to kill
her.
Lovely.
Where does 'personal responsibility' come into play?  Or has our
society totally turned into 'who I am and what I do is always someone
else's fault'  ???

Her autopsy revealed a blood/alcohol level of 0.24%.  That is falling-
down drunk, and that alone would have gotten her booted off a flight.
Being an 'unruly' falling-down drunk is even more obnoxious in
public.

In addition, her blood tested positive for citalopram, an
antidepressant, and duloxetine (used for Major Depressive Disorder),
and she also had a cough-suppressant and antihistamines in her system,
as well as ibuprofen.  I'm surprised she didn't die from respiratory
failure from that suicidal 'cocktail'.

The woman clearly needed to dry out in a detox facility (probably tied
down and screaming), before she went to any treatment program.

What about the 'personal responsibility'  of the individual tracking
her movements who likes playing MIND GAMES with women in general?

She was on a 'personal' life-saving MISSION. Get it? She was being
unruly because some ANONYMOUS a.shole operating from 'behind the
scenes' just managed to sabotage her 'personal' life-saving MISSION.

So...the sooner you realize that DHS's ability to instigate an
incident with this SPECIFIC woman was politically motivated... the
sooner we can wrap this case up and prosecute the cocksucker
responsible for abusing his authority. Comprende?

She was heading for f.cking detox when she was intercepted, you
unbelieveable idiot. Nobody is going to listen to someone who has been
labeled as a drunk. And believe me, a sober witness can be a THREAT...
to somebody. So wise up... because somebody looking over her shoulder
didn't want that to happen.

IIRC, she was trying to board her flight late because she was in the
bar drinking.  Blaming her behavior on the fact that she was going to
miss the chance to "save her life" doesn't explain the thousands of
drunk people who act like this on college campuses because their
friend wants to go home, or the bartender cut them off, or the girl
wouldn't dance with them.

Bottom line, her death is tragic, but the chain of events began
because she reacted in a manner that many drunk people react in when
they are denied something.  To expect any security agency to determine
correctly who is a threat and who isn't based on the story they tell
is absolute insanity.  And you apparently have absolutely no
experience with AA, NA, or any of the other recovery-based programs,
which prize accepting responsibility for your mistakes above all other
tenets.  By continuing to make her a helpless victim, you de-humanize
her.

'Personal' life-saving MISSION?
Sorry, but a 0.24% drunk is a 0.24% drunk and has absolutely no
business on an airplane, let  alone out in public.

I believe your thinking is skewed about her being 'politically picked
on'.
BTW - no one is going to be prosecuted, did you not read about it in

A lot of drunk drivers tell the cop that stops them that they were
going to start treatment the next day.  Tough.  A drunk and high on
drugs, is a drunk and high on drugs.  Irresponsible people still get
to be responsible for their behavior, no matter what "personal life-
saving MISSION" they are on.  Don't tell me there was no detox
facility available right where she lived.

Clearly ur grabbing sh.t right outta ur azz.

She was a PASSENGER on a plane. She wasn't DRIVING anywhere.
Besides... WTF are you to decide where she should be entering a
recovery program? People go out of state to facilities that suit their
personal needs and belief systems ALL THE TIME. My own stepfather went
900 miles out of state to enter a recovery program even though we had
one right here in town... and another excellent facility just 100
miles away. So FOAD you argumentative SLUT.

I just watched a tape where the officers were exonerated. Something
else that needs mentioning...

When traveling with a medical condition, the airline should be
notified beforehand. I have my medical condition listed on my driver's
license. I chose to do this because of past experiences with the
ANONYMOUS a.shole. Had anything happened to me during MY missed
connection in Phoenix that very same day... my family would now be
multi-millionaires and the ANONYMOUS a.shole at DHS with too much time
on his murderous hands would now have a boot permanently stuck up his
a.s with no job prospects in sight.

Okay, so are you sayin that being a drunk who's mixing it with several
RX's and OTC drugs is being someone with a 'medical condition' who
should warn the airline beforehand (as a responsible citizen) so that
the airline can choose whether or not they wish to accommodate such a
'medical condition'?

What medical condition do you have on your drivers license?

Nope. Being a drunk was never even mentioned. That's your words. As
far as being a 'responsible citizen' is concerned... blame it on the
stigma/criminality attached to being drug and alcohol dependent.
Nobody criticizes someone for having a seizure disorder or diabetes,
but they sure don't cut any slack for someone who needs alcohol or
drugs to feel normal.

If you're really that interested, I'm sure you've got connections. Use
them and find out.

I've got diabetes and I couldn't give a flying f.ck for anyone who
claims that they "need alcohol or drugs to feel normal". Diabetes is
not a choice - substance dependence is.

And I'm sure there's somebody out there who could give a f.ck less
about you and your diabetes. Perhaps changing your diet and eating
less would solve YOUR problem. So contrary to your statement...
diabetes can also be a choice.

Can it? You know how to regrow a pancreas to cure T1 diabetes?

Addicts deserve no sympathy. It's their choice and their
(ir)responsibility. Or in your case, your choice and your
(ir)responsibility.

Are you addicted to alcohol or drugs? If so, you can FOAD any time you
like and I won't give a backward glance. Just don't die on my doorstep
and leave me the job of taking out the garbage.

I was addicted to nicotine. Another drug my government promoted
because ADDICTION worked for them tax-wise.

Those must have been your diabetic needles I found on the back
doorstep of my apartment building back in 1982, eh? Oink oink!

You've got Nicotine Addiction down on your driver licence?
Gee, you do have an over inflated sense of your own importance.

Get a good price for them?
How do you happen to know the difference between the needles
junkies and diabetics use?
How about dialysis and sheep needles?

Gee... now that you mention it... Keith Richards is a registered
heroine addict... so actually I don't see why nicotine couldn't/
shouldn't also be registered... except for the fact that it's been
legalized for tax revenue purposes... and that would be somewhat
hypocritical of our government to force someone to register, wouldn't
it?  And and the fact that non-smokers typically pay cheaper car
insurance premiums... which would obviously deter most people from
truthfully acknowledging an addiction to nicotine on their driver's
license in the first place, don't you think?

So anyway, the answer to your question is NO... but thanks for
playing.

Why don't you ask the a.shole who left them there... and why he felt
the need to draw attention to himself and his personal agenda? Perhaps
the local addiction counsellor was lobbying for funds. Who the f.ck
knows.

Peter, you are one of the good guys. However, once in a while you post
something that makes me wonder what on earth you were thinking.

That was one of them.

I'd say that addicts deserve some sympathy once they decide that they
wish to stop being addicts.

I agree. Once an addict makes a conscientious decision to dry out they
should receive all the support possible.

However, it appears that in this case I am dealing with someone who
believes that addicts don't need to take any responsibility because
the addiction is someone else's fault and nothing can be done about
it. When that person started to defend this position by equating
voluntarily acquired and maintained addiction with a chronic
autoimmune disease I felt that it was time to drop my usual polite
persona. As the person has now taken to replying to herself with
fantasies about diabetics discarding insulin needles in public more
than a quarter of a century ago I might have to resume my normal
politeness because my mother taught me to avoid mocking the mentally
impaired.

>Adrian. (P.S. See you at the Skeptics Convention. I should get around

It's pencilled in my diary, but family matters could prevent me from
going so I won't know until almost the last moment.

Total bullshit. You sound like someone guity of what I'm actually
BITCHING about. Of course someone like yourself needs to justify his
terrorist behavior by dumping responsibility for his TERRORIST
behavior all on his victim. Kinda like the rapist saying the victim
asked for it, eh?

Responding to yourself - a sure sign of a loon.

Perhaps all the drugs you took addled whatever brain you might have
had to start with. Have you considered an overdose? Please try to do
it somewhere which won't cause too much inconvenience to the

That's the third time you've responded to the same message. You should
be taking your OCD meds instead of whatever it is you are sticking up

It sounds more to me like she HASN'T taken her medication.
I mean that in no disparaging way.
I have to to take large amounts of Efexor and Seroquel each day

Antihistamines and iboprofen both cause reduced clearance via kidnies;
CYMBALTA causes reduces clearance via liver.

GOOD POINT: She needed detoxing from the prescribed and OTC

Detox is what ALL patients go through when they first enter a program.
They don't go through detox in order to be accepted into a program.
