Yea, that was a proud moment for America.
I have nothing but the highest respect for what Code Pink does for peace and human rights around the globe, they are the real deal.
I have gotten to know them quite well over the years.

It is the workers that give us those things. the capitalists just sit back and see how much profit they can make by paying the worker as little as possible, example would be that Wal-Mart workers are paid so poorly that many of them qualify for food stamps.

You are sounding like an idiot now. Capitalism consists of a cooperative web of every person involved in creating those things, you cannot say the men whose imagination, ingenuity, creativity and their personal risk which created the ideas and products, are not responsible for them. Like i said, this is the type of ignorance that we expect from the left.

By the way, the employee who sells his skills, knowledge and labor, is just as much a capitalist as his employer.

I do it to further the causes I support as an activist, I don't think you can place a price on peace or human rights.
I also will send high resolution images of an event if needed for free.
The only thing I ask for is that I am given credit for the pictures that are used.
Geez,...if I'm a "liar" why is there a section on YOUR website giving terms and conditions about photos.

#2: Two people standing on a curb holding up signs. The woman has a smile on her face.

#3: A woman sitting on the grass smoking a cigarette. In front of her is the flag of some communist country, I believe.

#4: Some people standing around/lying on the ground. One is wrapped in a flag that has logos of various companies in place of stars.

#5: An older man holding up a sign opposing war in Iran. He has a small smile on his face.

#6: Some of the same people in #1 and #4. The young woman is smiling.

#7: A woman in a "Save the Arctic" t-shirt (center), talking to a man on her right and a person of undeterminable sex on her left. No one looks particularly angry.

#8: A poster protesting capital punishment.

#9: A poster protesting jail.

#10: Several people standing around. Again, no one looks especially angry.

#11: Someone in an anti-gun jacket from behind, giving a high 5 to someone else.

#12: Someone wearing a flag as a cape, appears to be handing out pamphlets.

#13: Someone kneeling on the ground, reading a magazine. There is an empty coke bottle in front of him.

#14: A woman and man smiling. The woman is holding a bottle of something.

#15: A guy sitting on a bench with a phone.

#16: Two women standing, one holding a phone.

Doesn't look too tense to me. What's the issue?
#17: There were more then one group there.

#18: These other groups were not seeking any confrontation, many have a commitment of non-violence, but that did not stop police from shoving a girl almost to the ground, she was part of one of the groups that practiced non-violent.
No doubt she may have been black and blue from that shove she went flying but managed to keep her balance, it was a very violent shove, several of us did yell at the cops for doing this.

#19: There were enough people in the one group that was directly involved in the scuffles that if their whole group got involved it would have gotten ugly quickly.

#20: Police are known to get violent and out of control in these situations might start clubbing and arresting the peaceful non-violent protesters like that girl they practically shoved to the ground.

This can happen in any situation. That does not support the OP. I do not see a clash.

I went to a meeting with my state legislators recently. Someone asked them about the protestors at the capital building. Once answered that this is a daily occurrence, and if she agrees with the protestors, she says, "I see there's a lot of support for this. . . . ". If she disagrees, she says "No one pays attention to these guys anyway".

Man, they are the f--king scum of the earth, THE biggest frauds and phonies - and I've said it to their face. They are lowlife liars who have zero respect from even other leftist groups.

On their web site they claim to be "against global militarism," yet not one word on their web site mentions Syria - not ONE WORD - or about iran.

Most of the bile there and their actions are against Israel with a smattering of anti-US items. I've humiliated their protestors at all kinds of events, from syria to iran protests, they have no clue and pretend to be a "human rights" group - but are nothing of the kind. They are a fake, and should be ostracised until they close their doors.

Dig yourself a bigger hole, I guess you don't eat much fish or other products that suppose to improve your brain function.
If you click on any of my pictures and click on buy you will see the prices are about the same as if you went down to the drug store to have a copy of a picture made.
It is just a service the picture hosting site offers and I agree to let people buy my pictures at COST.
At cost means I make ZERO you pay just what that the photo lab charges to make you a print which is about the same if you went down to your local the drug store about $0.20 a print
There is an option that I can set my own price but as I say I do not charge. If I was charging I think my prints would charge more than 20 cents. like I said I get ZERO I am sure the photo lab must kick back a couple of cents per picture to the hosting site.
So your research work of my Smugmug account gets a big red F as in Failed
