Rik · #1 02-24-2003, 04:52 AM

Terri Webb was committed to a mental hospital for cycling nude about a year ago. She has just successfully overturned the judgement.

She should not have been sent there to begin with.... somebody needs to stick that judge in a mental hospital for abusing the judicial system.

Part of the problem we have here in California, So Cal to be exact, is that when judges are up for re-election their records or stance on particular issues are never made public.

They end up winning re-election by the few people that vote for them without really knowing who these people are or what they stand for.

That judge that sentenced Webb to the mental hospital should be made to pay the tax payers back the court costs at least. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif[/img] [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif[/img]

After reading Rik's link, I have to admit that she does sound like kind of a nut. Not that much of one that she needed to be put in a hospital, mind you, but a nut nonetheless.

Hey, that's the same thing I said when I read your posts! [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif[/img]

She doesn't sound like a nut; she sounds like a bold woman. And she obviously knows how much her body can take.

"She was found in Eugene riding her bicycle naked in near-freezing weather."

"She insisted on remaining unclothed and attempted to assault a nurse who tried to clothe her."

"She expressed no fear of assault because she could take care of herself."

"Appellant has an apartment, but confesses that she is unemployed and is no longer able to pay rent."

Sorry, but these quotes do not inspire me with a lot of confidence that this woman is "bold", unless your definition of "bold = not right in the head."

The woman likes to ride her bike nude in the cold -- maybe she's a bit eccentric. She does so in part to promote the cause of clothes-freedom everywhere -- she's an activist. She can't pay her rent -- because she's poor.

It's a real travesty of justice that seemingly rational people, trained in the law and medicine, could deny her her freedom in this way. Appalling.

I am with Dukhat,

Ever do anything nude in Eugene in the cold...those of us who have even for a short time, will tell you...she is in need of some mental health...and not just as an outpatient either.

I have been nude in Eugene for just long enough to run to my car when it is raining in the summertime there...and I call the Seattle Metro area home for just a little while longer...so I think my own actions serve as an example of how cold the area can really get anytime of the year...Burrrr anyone got a spare blanket I can warm up with [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_redface.gif[/img]

I think she knows how much her body can take and she just wanted to get away from her apt to relax a bit. Maybe it's going to take all of us to be publically nude to get the word across to the clothed people that nudity in itself is not a bad thing. Sure enough, there are some people out there that have bad intentions when nude. That is something that all the "good nudists/naturists" can take care of. Right?!!!
