Code Pink's Medea Benjamin Arrested at Home of Blackwater/Xe Founder Erik Prince
Friday, August 20, 2010 | Kristinn

Terrorist support and Code Pink co-founder Susan "Medea" Benjamin was arrested tonight at the home of Xe founder (formerly Blackwater) Erik Prince, according to a press release posted by Code Pink.

Erik Prince was not home, having left the United States for Abu Dhabi. Inexplicably, Benjamin was let in the house according to the press release. When Benjamin revealed the true nature of her visit Mrs. Prince threw her out of the house.

CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin and other DC area activists were detained at the home of Blackwater Founder Erik Prince. The group dropped by to deliver a letter urging Prince not to flee the US to extradition-free UAE. His move, though couched by his PR team as a much needed break from the US would in fact eliminate the possibilities that he could be held accountable for the crimes perpetrated by Blackwater while under his control. Benjamin was invited into the Prince home, she then proceeded to explain to Prince's wife why she was delivering the letter; Mrs. Prince then pushed Benjamin out the door and told her to "leave the house immediately". Police soon arrived, entered the house to speak with the Prince family. While statements were being taken by other eyewitnesses, Benjamin was quickly hand-cuffed and arrested.

This stunt by Code Pink marks a new low in their harassment of individuals at their homes.

These Code Pinkos know no boundaries or limits. They are truly low and vile.

Why’s he waiting? Why isn’t Erik already in the UAE? If Code Pink can visit him so can “thuh occifers.”

She needs to be tried for treason. She is a worthless POS.

Arrested for what? She apparently was let into the house and stated why she was there.

Maybe she wouldn’t leave. She sure didn’t leave the property.

Pity the home owner didn't take the opportunity to shoot her.

Castle Doctrine.

“She came into my house and attacked me and tried to kill me. I told to stop.”

Don’t expect Code Pink to give the full story.

This dumb biatch needs to get a hobby. Making a living off off the blood of American military personnel is hateful.

Was she calling for Obama’s impeachment for his escalation in Afghanistan?

I have no problem with her being arrested. BTW, Code Pink said they’ll have a You Tube video up soon.

Exactly, why was she there, what did the letter actually say? I'm sure she didn't leave when asked, these people never leave and tend to provoke. These are some of the most out-to-lunch, rude, and awful people.

There is no telling what that nut-job was doing. She was obviously putting herself above law and order. That is jail every-time.
