Black Panthers! Yesterday's best non-story - SteveG - 07-13-2016
If you get past the deceptive Reuters headline and picture, you will notice that these folks will be out of Cleveland before the convention even begins.
Another impressive piece of reporting!
Exclusive - New Black Panther Party says to carry arms in Cleveland if legal
http://uk.reuters.com/article/uk-usa-police-blackpanthers-exclusive-idUKKCN0ZS1ZJ?feedType=RSS&feedName=GCA-GoogleNewsUK&google_editors_picks=true
The chairman of the New Black Panther Party, a "black power" movement, said his group will carry arms for self-defence at protests before the Republican convention next week if allowed under Ohio law.
"If it is an open state to carry, we will exercise our second amendment rights because there are other groups threatening to be there that are threatening to do harm to us," Hashim Nzinga, chairman of the New Black Panther Party, told Reuters in an interview.
"If that state allows us to bear arms, the Panthers and the others who can legally bear arms will bear arms." Nzinga condemned the killing of five police officers in Dallas last week as a “massacre” and said his group played no role in the attack.

Silly rabbit, open-carry laws were not passed for those kind of people!

The whole concept of the "New Black Panthers" is one of the most disturbing things to me. I live in the manger of the Panthers movement here in Oakland and I consider myself to be a long-time Panthers buff.
David Hillard, the keeper of the original Panthers flame feels the same. The Black Panthers was a groundbreaking wonderful organization for the time it was allowed to flourish. I continue to be proud of it's legacy and the work that it was able to accomplish.
THIS IS THE BLACK PANTHERS!

That will be great. Open carry idiots engaging in running firefights in my city. Marvel can set up cameras and film for the next Avengers movie, without paying a dime !
Better explain to my son how to survive a firefight.

The worst thing for the Democrats is if there are massive or violent protests in Cleveland. It plays right into the Republican propaganda plan.

You are assuming things go smoothly in Philadelphia.
I wouldn't be so confident.

Summer 2016 seems to be shaping up like another Summer 1968...or possibly worse.

Yep. Billy clubs are so primitive compared to the cops' arsenal now.
