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.
Did they put signs all over someone elses car again?
And what is it that they hope to accomplish by obstructing a camera taking pictures of their "activities"? You'd think they'd want the PR! But no, of course, they behave like cockroaches when the "light" (of truth) is shown on them.
LOL! Yeah, what's black and brown and looks good on a protestor...
Hi armymarinemom..post #47
They know our cameras find the truth. I took a photography course in college. We discussed the methods of making a camera lie or expose the truth. It was an interesting course.
Omg, Takoma, if I'd have known this was taking place I'd have come down and given you some support. My apologies, I didn't know. Next week let some of us know and we'll provide reinforcements if the Pinkos try that again.
I have got to make a trip down there soon!
Could they lose their permit for assaulting people in the permit area?
wish i could come to your "evening events" but i work till 9pm at least M-F- and NOW sometimes SA/SU too. (YETCH!)

Great report, Tak! Thanks for doing the hard work. I miss you all.
Reference the following thread
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1366362/posts?page=438#411
He was the Dr Roul disrupter in Favetteville that accompanied Media Benjamin across the street to observe the MOAB.
He was picked from the numerous photos on the thread by the Freeper Deadheadforbush in post 411 and brought to the attention of the thread. see also post 438 and 455.
Deadhead for bush has posted almost nothing before or since. For some unknown reason he thought it necessary to bring the man in the camo hat to our attention.
What a great thread. I think if someone sent a letter to Secret Weapon Against the Loony Left, with no address, it would reach you.
Out of his lips into God's ears!
Thanks a bunch. You, who haven't been there, have no idea what tgsl is up against or what indefatigueable personal courage she has shown dealing with street punks. She gives a sacrificial level of service to FR and an enormous depth of creativity as well as humility in being one of the unacknowleged leaders of the DC Chapter contingent that defends our defenders at Walter Reed. Wise up.
