I'm not in any way defending the knucklehead who were standing in front of that voting location with clubs though I didn't actually see any video clips of them harassin, deterring, etc.
I'm not sure if that's the incident you were referring to but if it is then it was actually the Bush justice department that decided not to file any charges.
I saw it on the news when it happened, and, well…they didn’t look like they were there to shake hands and kiss babies.
I don’t know about Jr.’s justice dept. involvement.
Some sources claim that it was Obama & co. that ordered the charges dropped
(after it was a won case). Whoever was responsible for it, it was a lousy decision.
I don’t fear weapons - only the people brandishing them.
If you want to carry guns in a peaceful demonstration to celebrate or lobby for your 2nd Amendment rights, fine…so long as it’s done properly, including adequate security, reasonable restrictions, and granted to a group of trustworthy people.
Given their actions during the ‘08 elections, I would
not trust the Panthers with firearms.
I wouldn’t trust them with shoelaces!
And, unlike 33, I wouldn’t be trying to get them signed up for any kind of gun registration because they are a perfect example why not everybody deserves the right to bear arms.
Amendment II should be reserved for everybody who deserves it.
People like the Black Panthers obviously do not.
