Susan “Medea” Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-American, pro-terrorist Obama and Jerry Brown-funding group Code Pink, has publicly threatened the wife of Xe Services (formerly Blackwater) founder Erik Prince for having her arrested for trespassing at the Prince family home in McLean, Virginia on Friday.
In an article first published Monday at the leftist site Alternet, Benjamin wrote about the incident at the Prince home where she and other Code Pink activists went to protest Erik Prince for recently relocating to Abu Dhabi. Benjamin ends the article with a threat urging Mrs. Prince to drop the charges or face further harassment.
Will her husband, a man who shuns publicity, tell her that she is crazy to pick a public fight with CODEPINK (or Pinkwater, as we now call ourselves) and make her drop the charges? Will I be able to sue her for false arrest?
Benjamin’s article also was published at The Huffington Post Monday night, headlined “Blackwater vs. Pinkwater: The Wife of Erik Prince Picks a Fight With CODEPINK.” That’s right, the headline blames the victim. Benjamin describes what happened when Code Pink arrived at the Prince home. The text was the same in both articles.
But when we got there, to our surprise we could see through the window that the house was full of people and furniture. There were no moving boxes, no empty rooms. Could the new owners have settled in so quickly? Curious, I rang the doorbell and before I knew it, I was invited in and found myself inside the living room with a bunch of young children and several adults, who turned out to be grandma, grandpa and wife Joanna Prince.
The rest happened very quickly. Joanna asked who I was and why I was there. I asked the same questions: Was this the Prince family and if so, why weren’t they in Abu Dhabi? She freaked, told the grandparents to call the police, and she pushed me out the door.
Benjamin can be seen in a YouTube video that Code Pink posted, being shoved out the front door of the Prince home.
At the conclusion of both articles, Benjamin threatens Prince’s wife with further harassment and a lawsuit:
When the police arrived, Joanna Prince lied and said I’d been told to leave the house and refused. I was arrested, charged with trespassing, held for 5 hours and forced to pay $500 in bail. I have to appear in court on September 28. So does Joanna Prince. Will she show up in court or will she–like her husband–run away to Abu Dhabi? Will the court subpoena her to appear?
Will her husband, a man who shuns publicity, tell her that she is crazy to pick a public fight with CODEPINK (or Pinkwater, as we now call ourselves) and make her drop the charges? Will I be able to sue her for false arrest?
After terrorizing Mrs. Prince, her children and her children’s grandparents inside the Prince’s home, Benjamin has the gall to threaten Mrs. Prince with further harassment and legal action. The Prince family would be well-advised to seek a restraining order against Benjamin and anyone associated with Code Pink, and urge Fairfax County authorities to seek further charges against Benjamin over her public threats against Mrs. Prince. Especially since Benjamin and Code Pink have a thoroughly documented history of stalking and harassing people at their homes, workplace or out in public.
Even the mafia doesn’t go after families. But Code Pink does.
I agree. After seeing Benjamin said person probably guessed that nobody there had ever seen an ugly stick saleswoman, especially one carrying samples on her face, and thought everybody needed to take a look.
Although going after someone in their own home is a tactic the left often lowers themselves too; one has to wonder how Prince’s wife or other people present didn’t realize who they were letting into the house in the first place.
Know they enemy!
Given the controversy over Blackwater, mostly fabricated by the left and CodePink, it’s incredible that they would open up the door to a sworn enemy. Complete failure and inexcusable with Blackwater being in the security/intelligence gathering business.
Let’s hope the Prince’s does not cave into Medea and her threats.
“Hey everyone. . .look! The circus is in town!”
Now I know why some tribes shrink heads.
LOL
From the Medea Benjamin article: “... found myself inside the living room with a bunch of young children and several adults, who turned out to be grandma, grandpa and wife Joanna Prince.”
So it would seem it wasn’t Mrs. Prince who granted her entry but, more likely, a housekeeper. The butler did it!
In an earlier thread on this topic I posted that if *I* were M/M Prince, I’d have an alligator-filled moat around my house. But I guess Fairfax County wouldn’t grant them the permit. Bummer.
