Richmond, VA: Woman In Burka Ejected From Obama VCU Campaign Rally –Photos & Video

Color me intrigued.

All I have for now are these tweets.

Developing…

Update:

(Dayton Daily News) –VCU police reported that a heckler was removed from the arena, taken outside and released. A police dispatcher didn’t know what the woman had yelled.

According to a White House pool report, photographers observed a woman wearing a black burka being escorted out of the gym by Richmond police and other security officials. The woman appeared to be wearing U.S. military pins and was carrying book. She cooperated with police, according to the report.

Stay tuned…

Update 2:

Photo of the Burka clad suspect. Dude! Is that a dude?

H/T Freeper TornadoAlley3  And a special thank you to Freeper Kristinn for linking.

I want to KNOW what he/she/it yelled, immediately, if not sooner. I am sick to death of the news being reported through a filter. The Obama campaign event was crawling with media and not one has the guts to report the full details. Get up off of your knees!

Update 3: The plot thickens…

@KristinnFR shared this second photo via Twitter of the ejectee, shot from another angle. Looks like a man to me.

He/she is not wearing a burka (full body cloak). Only a niqab (face veil) and a hijab (head scarf).

Enlarged version. Look at the arms and legs.

Finally! A news report.  Which just so happens to mention moi. Even better, it is reported on CBS 6 WTVR straight out of –Richmond.

CBS6 WTVR

RICHMOND, Va. (WTVR) Today CBS 6 learned that a woman had to be removed from President Obama’s rally at the Siegel Center yesterday.

We found a picture online at the website Ironic Surrealism.

In it you can see two Richmond Police officers confronting a woman wearing a black burka.

According to VCU Police Chief John Venuti, he/she was not arrested and the Secret Service is investigating.

H/T! @KristinnFR 

Update 4: WTVR has updated with a raw video clip of the police escorting the person out of VCU’s Siegel Center.

VCU journalism professor Vivian Medina-Messner shot the video which captures the woman screaming something as police escort her from the building.

I saw this person outside before the rally and inside being carried out. She was wearing a head covering but she was also wearing capri leggings, it struck me as odd. When I saw her being escorted out, she was kicking and screaming and the police eventually had to carry her out.

Update 5:

The UPI reported the news here. Though the short piece does not offer any new information.

The CBS DC report via the AP also lacks any additional info.

Update 6:

CBS 6 reporter Sam Brock spoke with two witnesses, one who shot the video.

Update 7:

WTVR

“See, you can’t really tell what she was saying,” said VCU journalism professor Vivian Medina-Messner, who captured the video.

She saw the situation begin to unfold.

“I was shooting the video of the rally, and then I heard someone scream in the background,” said Medina-Messner. “And she was really, really loud.”

“She seemed really, really upset,” she said. “I have no idea what language she speaks, and I couldn’t understand what she was saying.”

Medina-Messner describes a brief ‘struggle’ with VCU police before the woman is escorted out.

The VCU police department referred us to the Secret Service, the agency now handling the investigation.

Calls to the Secret Service have not been returned.

There was some speculation that the woman removed could have been screaming the word, ‘Allah’, and then ‘Obama,’ but Medina-Messner said that’s not what she heard. [...]

Update 8: Another photo. In it, the quran is visible.

Update 9: The video has surfaced on YouTube.

    She wasn’t yelling anything (I was a few rows ahead of her). She was standing there in a burka with a Koran while everyone else was sitting. She also was standing where the major news networks could see her, though they might not have had her in their shots at the time.She argued with the secret service and the police and then left peacefully.

    What location is it? VCU or VSU? News reporters….

    Good she-moes are not to have their legs & ankles showing, so the thing in the pic with bare arms and capri pants is so devout as to cover its face but not body? And it looks like the veil is not opaque, I can see a big ugly man-face through the fabric. I wonder if anyone bothered to see if there was anything dangerous beneath its disguise? Of course looking for weapons would draw the ire of islamic supremacist terror tied genocidal Muslim Brotherhood front-group CAIR and offend zero’s base of jihadis.

    I was at the rally. I can be seen in the lower left hand corner of the first shot looking at her. she was American and had numerous conflicts with people around her because she was convinced people were against her Muslim beliefs and became defiant. There is no conspiracy. It is actually a woman and I saw her outside after the rally. I simply ask that if you don’t know, stop making assumptions, like it is a man because of some grainy still photo that shows her arms. She is wearing brown boots, not capri pants.

      [She] was paranoid that those around [her] were against her Muslim beliefs, and that is why she caused a disturbance in a venue that was headlined by a US President?
      Waaaaaa.
      Anyone who walks around in public with their face covered, (especially those in Islamic garb) is cause for paranoia. It was ill advised at best for [her] to attend the Obama campaign event with [her] face obscured.

      She got exactly what [she] asked for.

  5. Jonothan says:

    Oh yeah and the President was not even aware. The lady was removed while he was speaking. So the headline above is inaccurate to say the least.
