Woman flips the bird in couple's proposal photos

WASHINGTON - As far as Molly Ryan knew, she was headed to Coors Field in Denver with her family to see the Rockies take on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Ryan's parents and her boyfriend, Kenny Lovelace, knew this was more than just a family outing. This was the night Lovelace was going to ask Ryan to become his wife.

...

Ryan said "yes" and fans nearby cheered for the couple -- everyone but the older couple, that is.

They continued to look unamused by the event. In fact, unbeknownst to Mullins, another woman who was there with them retrieved a security guard because she couldn't get back to her seat.

Mullins says when the security guard arrived, the big moment was over and she happily moved out of the trio's way.

It wasn't until the next day that Mullins realized the unhappy couple left their mark on the photos.

"In about 20 of them, she and her friend are giving me the stink eye," she says.

Then she saw one photo that she couldn't believe. In it, the older woman appears to be giving the one-finger salute to the camera.

"When I first saw the image I laughed, but then I was terrified you know, wondering what the couple was gonna think," Mullins says.

To Mullins' surprise, the bride-to-be was elated.

"I couldn't stop laughing. I said it was the greatest photo I've ever seen," Ryan says.

She says it was a picture that showed a wide range of emotions.

Or if your running for a democratic office.

Then you should cross that line and often.

Anyone taking a picture with me in it would be punished by having a picture of me.

Apparently the photographer was at it long enough that somebody trying to get back to their seat got security.

And really the photographer’s attitude shows exactly why she earned herself a bird: “They kept yelling at me and I just ignored them because I was there to do a job and I did not want to miss something that would be so brief and so important,” Mullins says.

If you got it - you would have figured out my points are NOT about the old lady. But the photographer.

What are your comments about her?

Or the photographer is:
“They kept yelling at me and I just ignored them because I was there to do a job and I did not want to miss something that would be so brief and so important,” Mullins says.

And keep in mind this “brief” event took so long somebody got security so they could get back to their seat that was being blocked. When you decide you’re more important than the people around you don’t be surprised when they rebut.

it would never occur to such people to EXAMINE what might be going on adjacent to their exalted location...in any given environment..

You're right. Mr Proposal should have realized that there was an MLB game going on. Further, there were people who paid good money to WATCH THE GAME.

Photobombing is a time-honored tradition.

I've been doing it for years. If someone takes a picture in a public setting and I'm in the background, I always wave at the camera.

Besides, if the bride-to-be isn't upset and thinks its funny, why are you getting your panties in a bunch?

A friend of mine used to drop the F bomb off-camera when videorecorders came into vogue.

Include strangers in your intimate personal photos, and you deserve whatever you get.

That old lady is probably deaf and senile and didn’t even know what the hall was going on.

I’m siding with you on this one. The photographer says she took at least 20 photos. The story has pix from at least three different angles. You see the bended knee and several different reaction shots. That could not have been done just between innings. Baseball Fan 101: don’t block others’ view of the field during play.

Old women today (myself included) aren’t the polite demure ladies that our mothers and grandmothers were. I had a 65+ year old woman chew me out and use the f... word for parking too close to her. Maybe this woman was unaware of what was going on behind her and thought she was the center of attention and she didn’t like it.

Ah, but old women today are fully invoking all of the social and legal protections enjoyed by the the polite demure ladies of yesteryear. As a result, they hide behind these no-touch rules and laws as they vomit venom and filth and rank stupidity and cruelty and lies and sheer totalitarian thuggery which, said by a man, would get his teeth punched out. And then they laugh, cry feminism and freedom, and go get a cop to taze and shoot anyone they feel like hurting.

Generally speaking, and almost universally with liberals, older women today are monsters - and they know it, and they absolutely love it. Because, having abandoned their very souls and washing their hands of the lives they created for themselves by blaming absolutely everyone else in their lives, they feel free as a bird.

So your throwing in with them says far more about you than you think.
