Will they return? FILE PHOTO King Samir Shabazz , the local leader of the New Black Panther Party, caused an uproar on Election Day in 2008 when he was videotaped with a billy club outside a polling place. WILL BUNCH, Daily News Staff Writer Posted: Monday, November 5, 2012, 3:01 AM THEY MAY BE back in black for Tuesday's election - the uber-controversial New Black Panther Party. But now with 100 percent less nightstick. You'll recall that it was right here that the Election Day 2008 appearance of two local leaders of the black-power posse outside a polling station at 12th and Fairmount in North Philadelphia - one brandishing a large nightstick - became a national controversy. Critics said it was an open-and-shut case of voter intimidation and that the U.S. Justice Department, whose probe began in the Bush administration and ended during President Obama's term, let the New Black Panthers duo off too easy. But the national leader of the group, Malik Zulu Shabazz, told a radio interviewer in September that the New Black Panthers - labeled a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center and others for its anti-white and anti-Semitic rhetoric - might be out monitoring some polling places again in 2012. "I will say that as this election comes up in November, we will consider our options," he told WABC Radio's "Aaron Klein Investigative Radio" show. "And we will consider the fact whether we will legally and lawfully go to the polls again to make sure there is no intimidation against our people, which was our intent in 2008." King Samir Shabazz does shas a profile on the site BlackPlanet.com, where he says: "I will not bow down to white Amerikkka" and that he's interested in "casual dating, networking, and serious dating."
