Election Update: 'Black Panthers' take night stick to voting station



04 November 2008 @ 05:26 pm EST

Two men dressed as Black Panthers stood outside a Philadelphia polling station, allegedly to intimidate voters on Tuesday afternoon.

The two men came to the polling station at University of Pennsylvania where a student caught video footage of them holding a "night stick."

Fox News' Rick Leventhal was nearby and asked one of the men why he was there and replied by saying he was "tired of white supremacy."

"There's been no disturbances that I'm aware of, except what we've encountered here. But again, I want to make very clear, we don't know that any voters were denied entrance to this polling facility. We don't know that anyone was intimidated to the point that they decided not to vote here, but that was what some people were concerned might be happening with two Black Panthers, one of them holding a nightstick, out front."

Police arrived and escorted the "Black Panther" with the nightstick off the premises.

The Black Panthers, also known as the Black Panther Party, was a violent militant group that as active in the late 1960s and 1970s espoused a Marxist/Maoist philosophy as a means to further black liberation and black power.

Re: "He also gave up any possibility of being a U.S. citizen when he moved to Indonesia and attended a school that only accepts Indonesian citizens who also must register as moslum... this is documented and all over the Internet..."

Eh?

You are kidding, right?

First of all --- an American child does not 'give up his citizenship' if his parents move overseas for a while. :-)

Secondly --- He attended *first grade* at a PUBLIC SCHOOL in Indonesia (which accepted all religions, and was popular with expatriate Europeans in the Capital City), and then enrolled in a Catholic School, and was taught by Nuns for the next two or three years, (if memory serves).

I'm pretty sure that none of that 'disqualifies' anyone. <g>
