There is nothing about the New Black Panthers that is apolitical. I recall them bearing weapons at a polling place on election day in 2008 that incident included voter intimidation and law enforcement being called. Of course Holder gave them a pass; apolitical my arse.

Lots of white women yell "rape" or "sexual harassment" at black men because they know it will make southern white men go ape sheet. There is a long history of that stuff down here- white women stirring up trouble for black men.

If they do not have felony convictions, they have as much right to bear arms as anybody else does. They simply were dressed in fatigues and carrying weapons. They were there to provide security to the polling places. They did not point or use their weapons at any voter nor did they go into the booth and tell any voter how to vote. They broke no laws.

I'm half-amused, half-perturbed at the first few posters crying "race war". Some of you really want it to happen, and the anticipation is obvious. Sorry, the Turner Diaries were a work of fiction, and hardly any normal people give a damn about the KKK or the NBPP.

Your opinion. There those who disagree strongly with Holder's decision. Under that arguement any group could show up at the polls menacingly beating their nightsticks to their sides and it not be considered intimidating voters? Is that what you are suggesting? Really? The man with the night stick in this video is a repeat offender with multiple felony convictions and one of the leaders of the New Black Panthers.

Well, the sad truth is that as long as the KKK exists, there might as well be something to balance them out.

I say let them have at each other. Confine them to a small section of the city so afterwards the clean up won't be as bad.
