Code Pink and Veterans for Peace Scofflaws Bus-ted by D.C. Chapter at Walter Reed 10/28/05

D.C. Chapter STOPS the Crawford "Peace" Bus in its tracks, after it parked illegally for over an hour blocking traffic Friday night at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Rescue & fire trucks had to change lanes to avoid the hippy bus. Metro Police was called three times but failed to respond, so the DC Chapter took a "citizen's action".

Good job turning the tables on the pro Fascist anti liberation forces.

Could they have found a better example of a hippie to drive their bus?

Hippy bus, indeed.

Too bad they don't come down to Fort Campbell... I'm sure the 101st would like to have a few words with them. They couldn't have picked a more suitable mascot than Cindy Sheehan. She's either on medication or has an IQ in the low 70's.

The video won't load. Why link something you know you can't support?

At least tell us in words what happened with the bus.

What was the purpose of "blocking" the bus...so they couldn't move it? Did they try to? If it was hindering emergency vehicles, wouldn't you want it moved?

I'm not sure I understand what went on.

The police wouldn't respond to citizen calls to move the hippie bus, so we used the leftists tactics, block 'em. The bus was not going to move until Kristinn sat in front of it and we started to get photos. We had to continued to block the bus until the police arrived just to show the police what Code Pink does.

We also used the opportunity to get some good photos and to swarm the Code Pink side with FReepers.

Of course the idiots at Code Pink didn't realize that the bus blocked their demonstration from the south bound cars.

I have to admit the motivation seems quite confusing to me too.

However, when in the throes of protesting, passions get high and what looks like something odd has significance during the time.

Nice to see Kristinn get the attention of the The Chief Priestess of the Pinkos though.

Cindy Sheehan. She's either on medication or has an IQ in the low 70's.

Your almost correct
It's the medication that raises her IQ into the low 70's

Great video, thanks for doing it. Of course, if I'd known that you were taping it I would have made sure I didn't attempt to sing. LOL. It did drown out Pinkos though and that was my mission.

It always amazes me that the Pinkos call the police when it suits their purpose but call them nazis when it doesn't. Of course, if the police had shown up when they should have none of this would have been necessary. Funny how they come running with many police when the Pinkos call but when actual tax paying citizens call you can't get them to arrive.

Great freep! I was one plane ticket away from joining you guys for this freep---I didn't realize I could come until Thursday, and couldn't get any sort of plane ticket that would get me there in time.

You guys don't need me as much as I need to be with you--LOL!

Keep on keeping on--as I know you will! Love y'all bunches!

Simply awesome FReep...

I particularly liked the part at 6:55 of the video where Krsitinn deftly manuevers his patio chair to block the hippy bus trying to drive around him....Classic.

Medea seemed perplexed; like a deer staring at head-lights.

LOL.

The purpose is clear. Do you think they'll bring the hippie bus back to that location? I seriously doubt it. That's a victory in and of itself. Next, the Pinkos were seriously hassled - we harshed their buzz - that means that they'll feel even less enthused about showing up every Friday night to harrass the wounded troops and their families. The more opposition they face, the more defeats they meet, the more times they're outnumbered, out messaged, and outclassed, the better chance they'll just quit their despicable presence in front of Walter Reed.

Fantastic job, W04Man, and so rapidly. This video clearly shows the protesters celebrating the deaths of 2,000 American soldiers, while smirking at the pro-troops demonstrators.

Not unlike the anti-communist patriot at Tianmen Square standing in front of the Red Chinese tanks....
