Code Pink Leader Has Tantrum at Walter Reed - 01/27/06

January 27, 2006

[tgslTakoma]

There I was, across the street, a six lane street. Just me. And my little camera.

I stood quietly on the empty sidewalk taking pictures of the Code Pink protest at Walter Reed. The one that used to be at the main entrance to the hospital, until they forgot to renew their permit for that location.

Now, they've taken to infesting a location down the street, in front of a small sidewalk park, but still in front of the hospital.

I had gone down alone, with my camera and tripod to document their little public protest.

I had less than a minute's peace to take photos before Allison Yorra and Ann Wilcox of Code Pink came across and told me that I would have to leave the empty sidewalk, across the street from their protest, because they had a permit for where I was standing.

I told them I wasn't disrupting their protest across the street, and that I was holding no signs but simply taking photos. They told me that I was not allowed to be there, and that the police would remove me. I encouraged them to call the police, because I wasn't demonstrating in their protest area, just taking photos, in their protest area where they weren't protesting. They initially declined to call the police, preferring to "handle it themselves."

By now, "Princess", Weasel and some guy with a black beret had joined Allison and Ann around me. They began to block my camera, which was focused on their public protest across the street. No matter which way I turned, there was Allison and her bully-boys.

So I stepped off the sidewalk and into the curb lane of the street, where MPDC does not issue permits unless the road is closed. Allison and the bullies quickly followed. I'd move. They'd move in front of me. I'd move again. They'd again block my view.

Here are a few photos I took:

Allison Yorra - Code Pink

Allison and "Princess" who both love to call our president a fascist, as they freely protest at a military hospital and try to bully a lone photographer.

Weasel scurries across the street to join in the leftist fun and games.

Allison's good side

I got lots of photos like this. Y'know, for a woman whose organization loves to sneak into places like the Dem and Republican conventions, the John Bolton hearings, various Rumsfeld hearings and events to unfurl banners and disrupt the events for the fawning MSM cameras - she sure does seem to dislike this camera operator.

Allison has help from Black Beret Guy to stop me from taking photos of their public protest.

Black Beret Guy and Ann Wilcox of Code Pink.

Allison and "Princess" - Her profile is definitely NOT her good side.

Allison got really bent out of shape when the other camera folk came down to film their gang assault on me. In a fit of anger, Allison Yorra yelled at us, calling us a bunch of nobodies and that nobody reads our blogs.

[tgslTakoma]

Allison, I think I've figured out where your anger comes from. You see, you're a brunette; and Code Pink only allows blondes to do the really important jobs.

Think about it.

Medea's in Venezuela.

Gael's in Mali.

And you're here. Stuck with the Primate House.

And Diane Wilson, a brunette, is in jail.

[tgslTakoma]

Hi Doc. We missed you tonight.

[armymarinemom]

Good grief those Pepto idiots are unhinged.

[jazusamo]

They better start recruiting people with an accumulative IQ above 50 so they can figure out how to deal with you. LOL

[sageb1]

Good job! Just don't forget the sidewalk is public space no matter who has a permit.

[CindyDawg]

You want to borrow my ladder? :') I really enjoy these Friday reports. The losers always lose.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Next time YOU call the police. Always bring your cell phone(s) to these FReeps. And your video camera, not just the still. I love for the language these people use to make its way onto, say, Rush Limbaugh's website.

[anonymous_user]

That pink hat makes her look even more like a d***head.

[CholeraJoe]

Allison, I think I've figured out where your anger comes from. You see, you're a brunette; and Code Pink only allows blondes to do the really important jobs.

You're so mean! Thanks for being there.

[Darkwolf377]

Allison Yorra yelled at us, calling us a bunch of nobodies and that nobody reads our blogs.

So she makes all that effort to prevent pictures from being taken for blogs no one reads?

Makes about as much sense as anything these a-holes do.

[NormsRevenge]

Haven't they ever heard of bribery? It is DC after all. ;-)

[3D-JOY]

You sound like you were having the time of your life...just making them crazier than they already are!

Glad you are safe though!

[ferri]

i wonder if you could get a restraining order on them? that would be pretty fun. lol

[SevenofNine]

OMGGG Alison is ugly

I seen Feminazis in Cali get busted by LAPD

[DoughtyOne]

Code Pinko? LMAO...

Way to go!

[Humidston]

Another great job, Tgs!

As much trouble as you DC FReepers cause them, they probably have to double up on their hormones! ROFLOL!!

[dollar_dog]

What are they, gay or something?

[ForGod'sSake]

;' )

[right-wingin_It]

Hats and wigs aside, Code Pink's women generally look a little "spent," IMO. And what's the median age I wonder? - certainly not one of those youthful protest groups (judging from this pic). Yeeeck.

[Rebelbase]

I bet the Special Intelligence section of the DC police laugh their arses off reading these Walter Reed threads.

[Bommer]

Use a video camera next time. Love to post the abuse online!

[Doogle]

...what would they do if 4 or 5 camera's showed up and stood 10 feet apart?...but only one camera had film. or was taking photo's?....now that would be funny to watch..


Doogle

[IncPen]

When you encounter these clowns make sure to tell them you're from FR.

Man. Mention FR to a lib and they go friggin' BONKERS.

[Just A Nobody]

calling us a bunch of nobodies and that nobody reads our blogs.

Liars!!! I read our blogs and I'm Just A. Nobody! LOL!

Thanks for the report. It was a great night.

[ForGod'sSake]

Yeah, "the lights are on but nobody's home" comes to mind...

[CharlesWayneCT]

So it sounds like they got tired of being outnumbered at their protest position, and purposely let their permit expire so they could get permits for both sides of the street NOT at a corner, so they wouldn't have to put up with you guys across the street from them.

[AprilfromTexas]

Well done!!!

I LOVE freepers!!!!

bttt

[CBart95]

For all the laughs coming out of all this,I am still reminded that these citizens are protesting infront of a military hospital where numerous brave men and women are enduring tremendous hardship and suffering for their loyal and brave service in defense of our freedom.

Find me the proper words to describe the awful wrong that goes on here under the banner of Free Speech.

It's heart rending to me and I'm sure countless others.

[bmwcyle]

Allison Yorra B%$^H

[BigCinBigD]

You should have told her to wash her hair once in a while. It would be easier to photograph through it. That plus the grease causes a flash artifact on the photos. ;)

[ForGod'sSake]

Find me the proper words to describe the awful wrong that goes on here...

I'm afraid there aren't any; not nearly enough at any rate.

[Lancer_N3502A]

Should have let them assault you. You could press felony charges and have them jailed.

[PalestrinaGal0317]

The proper words to describe that particular awful wrong are not ones that we are allowed to use here on Free Republic.

[Albion Wilde]

OMG, it was Allison who was scratching head lice in your video! I recognize the pink cap!

She needs to go back to Mystic and make pizza.

[Albion Wilde]

Good grief those Pepto idiots are unhinged.

[Albion Wilde]

If no-one reads our blogs, how did she know we have blogs?

Allison: "I knew that. Do you think I don't know that?"

"People get busy. Lapse happens. Do you think I don't know that?"

[PleaDeal]

Wilcox told me she did call the police. "Some kind of violence may break out" due to our proximity and confrontational attitude. She actually seemed disappointed that we'd been so civil!

[Albion Wilde]

Hi! Saw you from a distance tonight as you were whizzing by in your car. That's whizzing by in your car, not whizzing in your car, Distance FReeper! Glad to see you, in any case. I was late getting there because I spilled gasoline on my clothing while filling up enroute. Warned our smokers not to get near me. Gave new meaning to the old saying, "I've got gas." On the other hand, when you were whizzing by in your car, technically, you could be said to be "passing gas."

By the way, we've got permits...

[Albion Wilde]

...what would they do if 4 or 5 camera's showed up and stood 10 feet apart?...but only one camera had film. or was taking photo's?....now that would be funny to watch..

I am Spartacus!

No, I am Spartacus!

I am Spartacus!

I am Spartacus!

I am Spartacus!

I am Spartacus!

I am Spartacus!

I am Spartacus!

[binkdeville]

Ugly lesbian freaks

[freema]

They are just beyond weird. Aren't you afraid of catching cooties when they get that close?


Hey, I got the Bob Schieffer's (sp?) CBS interview with Bush for ya'll, as good as I could but the format will probably be all screwed up as soon as I post:

S. As i understand the law, how does (the existing FISA)
slow you down.
B. Looked at the program (FISA) from all angles.......
I can't explain to you how it works, without
compromising the program.

S. Civil Rights Act was America's most successful foreign
policy issue because it told the world who we were-
asked B. how he felt everything recently affects us
B. We've got to remind people we've got a wonderful
heart.

S. In contrast to the beautiful weather, the political
atmosphere has been ugly he (B.) said he was going to
change that, what happened?
B. One of my biggest disappointments, seems like
everything has been run thru zero sum politics.

S. Is there anything you can do to step back and try to
make a new start?
B. Gonna try in the State of the Union.

S. Yesterday a CBS news poll asked do you think the
bribes are the way it works and 77% said yes.
B. We're going to cut this out.

S. Tom Friedman in NYT said putting on a huge gas
tax was a way to get a change to get us independent
B. Against tax, need to develop technologies, but gonna
talk about that big time in SOTU-
wants to see different kinds of cars on our roads and
now is the time to fix it.

S. Looks like Sen. Clinton is running pretty hard.
B. She's formidable.

B. I can't remember a time when it's been this open.
(referring to presidential elections : )

B. I suppose if you ask any president in time of war,
the hardest part is knowing it was my decision to
cause some kid to lose his life.

S. Do you think you'd have been president if you hadn't
married Laura.
B. I don't know what'd I'd been if I hadn't married
Laura. I think people look at her and say there's a
woman with common sense.

S. People say you don't like folks who disagree with you.
B. I think that's one of the great myths in Washington.
Laura criticized a speech in Lubbock and I
said, "what'd you say?" and She criticized it
again, and I drove right into the garage door.
(laughing)

S. Have you thought about what you're going to do when
you leave?
B. I'd like to leave behind a think tank where people can
talk about freedom and liberty
the d'Toqueville model, what he saw in freedom.

[Darkwolf377]

LOL

"I don't want you taking our picture to put on a blog no one reads. It's the principle of the thing. You suck!"

[mithglin]

We're nobody? That's okay because nobody's perfect. Does that make Code Pink nobody's fools?

[trooprally]

LOL

[Mr] T

[joesbucks]

Sounds like a bunch of 4 year olds....on both sides.

[Zacs Mom]

[usmcobra]

Amazing how your very presence put so much fear in them that they had to run across six lanes of heavy traffic to prevent you from taking their pictures.

Next time you want to do so, please find yourself a couple of active duty Marines, preferably patients from Walter Reed to protect you if they become violent.

And I'm not kidding either, any Marine worth his stripes would feel it an Honor to protect you.

[RexFamilia]

There is nothing going on in Mali; unless she's here on vacation.

Mali is not exactly a "vacation" spot.

[\/\/ayne]

Reminds me of the time I asked a wacky post office employee her name to report to the postmaster. She immediately covered up her name badge with her hand.

I couldn't help laughing and saying "Are you covering up your name badge? You realize there's a work schedule and the Postmaster will still know it's you?"

Don't these moonbats understand that when you stand on a street and protest it's the very definition of presenting yourself to the public? I mean, you know many are living in an "alternate world" but it's still freaky when they display such twisted logic

Moonbat Personality One: "Hi, I'm a protester out on the street, look at me, read my sign, understand my message, especially you that disagree so you can be convinced!"

Moonbat Personality Two: "Stop looking at me and my political message on a public street or I will take physical action in a random and violent way!"

Moonbat Personality Three: (muttering to self) "I hate America! Why do I hate America? Because I am American and I hate myself! Wait a minute! Now I realize how to solve all my anger problems! Wait! What was it again? I forgot! Oh, yes. I haaaaate President Bush. Yeah.
