CA - Federal agents raid 91 Year Old California suicide kit seller

"We were at that location," Foxworth said. "We served a federal search warrant authorized by a federal judge in connection with a criminal matter. It's an ongoing investigation."

In a phone interview 45 minutes after agents left her home, Hydorn said she was still shaken and eating ice cream to feel better.

"It's been a very tiring day," Hydorn said. She said she would be seeking legal counsel.

Hydorn said she was completely surprised when the doorbell rang and people started pounding and shouting that they would break it down. She opened the door, and about a dozen armed men had guns out, she said.

"It was a new experience, and at my age, I've lived through enough things," she said.

Hydorn said officials took about 20 suicide kits that were ready to mail out. She said officials also showed her a list of kits she put in the mail Tuesday and that they were intercepted at the post office.

Hydorn has been in business for three years and said she is trying to help people in pain, not make money off the kits.

Agents also seized all of Hydorn's correspondence with individuals at the Final Exit Network, a group that has 3,000 members nationwide and provides support to people seeking to end their lives.

The network has faced protracted legal battles in Arizona and Georgia about whether their support breaks state assisted-suicide laws.

Attorney Robert Rivas, the network's general counsel, said the network is not breaking any laws and that its members strictly offer counseling and emotional support.

    The boot jacks just love to beat up on the little people. Never mind all those war criminals in Washington causing the deaths and displacement of millions ... or the banksters that have looted money from the people. Stealing homes with foreclosure fraud. Theycommit horrendous crimes with impunity and we the people are put in jail for the slightest infraction. Wecome to the United Fascist States of Amerika.
    The boot jacks are far lower than the criminals they serve.

    While the subject is open for discussion the real issue here is that these kits are hampering Big Pharma from profiteering from peoples' misery by putting an end to useless drug purchases.And THAT is why there are raids.

      Ld, I wish you no harm, but with a little luck you will learn what it is to live with terminal MS, constant pain, and no money for care.
      It will do wonders for your Karma, without this experience, you will probably have to return again and again as the clearly unfortunate that you are.
