Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
Our anti-victory friends from CODEPINK are at it again. They've resumed their monthly protests outside Balboa Naval Hospital, in an effort to demoralize the local military community.
Once again, we will steal their thunder.
WHO: San Diego Protest Warrior, and anyone else who wants to come.
WHAT: A demonstration of gratitude and support for our military.
WHEN: Sunday, December 4 -- 11:30am - 1:30pm
WHERE: Corner of Park Blvd. & Presidents Way, Balboa Park (plenty of parking available)
HOW: With flags and signs expressing our appreciation and gratitude for our military and their families.
WHY: Because they want us to fail, and we are committed to victory.
Any San Diegans that would like to join us are more than welcome! And even though I'll be really, really, ridiculously busy prepping for final exams next week, I'll be there.
See you there!
UPDATE: The operation went as planned. We arrived early and claimed first one, then two corners.
CodePink arrived late (as usual) and proceeded to stand and gawk at us as if they didn't know what to make of SDPW stealing their thunder.....which they didn't.
And acting like a kitten that ran full-bore into a plate glass door and giving the impression that it meant to do that, CodePink then started walking through Balboa Park.
SDPW stealth operatives tailed them and they didn't draw much attention while walking first by the Organ Pavillion and then the Prado itself. The amount of attention they garnered was much akin to someone seeing a cute puppy and saying 'Hey - there's a cute puppy'.
They then sat around the water fountain in front of the Ruben H. Fleet Theater and continued to gather no attention.
There was one added bonus today: we had some kook show up and stand with SDPW for a while wearing a sandwich board that praised SWWNBN. The hassle that this kook brought was that we'd get people driving by and honking in support of us and he'd be raising his arms like he was at Special Olympics. Luckily, when CodePink started walking through Balboa Park, he followed them and eventually met up with them at the water fountain.
I got some photos of this clown and of the operation, as did other members of SDPW - I'll be posting mine in the next couple of days once final exams are done with on Tuesday.
UPDATE II: Smash has a run-down of Sunday's events with photos taken by SDPW 'stealth' operatives.
If I can get hubby to agree, I think we might be there!
That would be GREAT!!! Ho
