Code Pink re-enacts deadly US drone strike on wedding

In December 2013, a US drone strike killed 17 people at a wedding in Yemen. On the 4th of May, Code Pink staged a drone strike on a mock wedding in front of the White House. This was an American instead of a Yemeni style wedding so tourists and cops could understand.

As protesters crossed Lafayette Park towards the Penn Ave, a US Park Police woman attempted to stop the because they were pushing a rack of chairs. She denounced chairs as "structures" not permitted in the park and whined about permits. Most likely the claim that it is somehow "illegal" to sit in a chair in Lafayette Park is an attempt to interfere with the Peac Vigil. After foolishly putting out her hand to stop a group of many people by contact, she had to drop her objections and stuffy demands for permits after realizing the protest would not be in the park at all, but rather on Penn Ave.

Once set up, the wedding was staged, and as the bride and groom proceeded back from the altar the drone struck, leaving "bodies" on the ground under what appeared to he bloodstained tarps. A speaker then reminded onlookers that a real drone strike would often include a "double-tap" second bombing aimed at killing first responders aiding the victims of the first attack. This is a notorious tactic when used by insurgents with paired IED's, yet the United States has emulated it in drone bombings worldwide.
