Has Blackwater Founder Erik Prince Fled the US?

CODEPINK cofounder Medea Benjamin and other DC area activists were detained at the home of Blackwater Founder Erik Prince. The group dropped by to deliver a letter urging Prince not to flee the US to extradition-free UAE. His move, though couched by his PR team as a much needed break from the US would in fact eliminate the possibilities that he could be held accountable for the crimes perpetrated by Blackwater while under his control. Benjamin was invited into the Prince home, she then proceeded to explain to Prince's wife why she was delivering the letter; Mrs. Prince then pushed Benjamin out the door and told her to "leave the house immediately". Police soon arrived, entered the house to speak with the Prince family. While statements were being taken by other eyewitnesses, Benjamin was quickly hand-cuffed and arrested.

XE aka Blackwater is the worst type of scum. Hired killers who r a disgrace to the USA. Stop all US funding of these war criminals.

They were so nice and inviting until they saw you were holding signs calling their family members devils.. and then you stuck around on his porch and left creepy letters attached to his door.. I wonder why people don't take you seriously.

These fucking people make me fucking sick.

@4Peace4All Not sure what u are responding to. Not sure I've claimed Xe defends pple's rights, but some hav risked &given their lives keeping other pple alive or rescues. Ignoring that is shameful and Prince doesn't care wut any of us think.

I'm not, per sa, against Xe, but I can't think of anything patriotic about incidents of money laundering, ripping-off fellow Americans, or torture. All crimes r allowed for those in high gov positions. They're above the law & kill anyone in their way.

@Beeglz Hey, you got the point!

@ABNNDC Where does all this BS come from about Code Pinks using drugs? Most have families, children, jobs (often more than one), and still work to end the madness. I've never seen one use anything, and I know about 200 CPs.

@gvii That's for murderers and rapists and child molestors. Medea didn't do much of anything to deserve to rot in jail.
