Allison Yorra - Code Pink
Posted on 01/27/2006 9:46:07 PM PST by 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 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.
"I would really like to tell you what I truly feel about your ill-conceived comments but being a Christian and the Mother of a Marine I can't."
Flora, I kind of feel the same- up to the "I can't" part.
I just threw my cup of tea against the wall ; )
I'm very glad I missed all this.
BTTT
Good to "see" you here!
If there is one thing i hate more than a brainwashed islamic fanatic, its a code pinko traitor..don't forget, if i can come down to dc, I'm going to look you up!
your copperhead friend, Ari
p.s. free dixie!
A vigil and "support the troops" rally? How pre-school is that?!?
[sniff] That was beautiful, man! Hand me a tissue, Tito...
bump
Did they use candles like Code Pink? (sniff)
I didn't think there could be somebody worse that you know who but it appears I was wrong. You have know idea how angry I was and still am as a matter of fact. Our side has it's share of jerks.
Thank you, Tonk:
You're most very welcome.
Sorry I missed the FRiday Night FReep (01/27/06) due to an early start time (Zero Dark Thirty 0500) for my Reserve unit's Weekend Drill.
The Friday prior to the Drill Weekends are a bit hectic and begin at Noon instead of the Night Shift's usual 3pm. Had to work a little late due to getting three planes and spares ready to fly early Saturday morning.
It sounds like a fine time was had by all (Except the Pink-Os)
Should see you FRiday the 3rd!
Jack.
Keep up the good fight. And please keep me on your ping list forever or until I go to that great Free Republic in the sky.
No, no. I don't think TPT has come close to you-know-who. Let's not blow this too far out of proportion. After a few more foam-at-the-mouth bruisings from us I honestly think TPT may reconsider his notion that we're a bunch of foam-at-the-mouth hooligans. Let's give him a little more time.
Careful you'll be the subject of his next speech at the college.
Bump!
Just as long as he properly identifies me as a hooligan and not a scalawag. I don't take kindly to being called a scalawag...or a poopyhead. Don't like that either.
He might just post the speech on the FreeRepublic and get 16 posts. I think if he uses your screen name in the title he might even get 20 posts.
All right. That is it. THis Friday, if someone can get me a ride down there, I am going to this Friday's rally. I am missing all of the fun!
What's wrong with being a "foam-at-the-mouth hooligan"? :) If you say so, I'll shall give him the benefit of the doubt, but I don't have to much hope. It was really nasty.
SO then, you are saying that it is not ok to fight until your son is murdered in cold blood?
Maybe your son did not, but 3000 people did die because of a hope to use diplomacy in dealing with those that hate us.
Let's see some of your savagery come out in something stronger than a battle of wits.
