Protests in West Knoxville


Anybody know what this is all about? These folks have been out here for the past few days in front of Fort Sanders West hospital. Same thing is happening down the road in front of the West Knoxville YMCA. I would've asked them but crossing the street right there at Kingston Pike and Center Park would be suicide! So, instead of being dead, I just snapped a couple of pics with my Blackberry from across the road.

I find it odd that I've not been able to find any kind of media coverage concerning the "shame on..." protests. The one at the YMCA has been going on for weeks. A co-worker just informed me that a similar one is being held at a Covenant health facility off Pellissippi Pky and Dutchtown Rd., and someone else mentioned another one at UT hospital. Is this one big media cover up or some type of conspiracy?

If anyone gives you the answer, let me know...there's two folks sitting in front of the Harriman Hospital with a sign just like it.

I threaten to stop and yell, "For what?!" Maybe I should.

If you're going to protest something, at least state the purpose and a fact or two!

Hi Byron!

I've been wondering about these signs for several months myself. A friend of mine sent me this link that finally sheds some light on them.

Hey, thanks a bunch Jason. I had been searching everywhere for some kind of explanation. Glad to know it. I'll add the link to the post.
