If we were wearing our bicycle shorts, he would probably break out in laughter... but in Black Panter garb (or white KKK garb) that would clearly be seen by reasonable people as threatening. (for the record, as a member of a group targeted by the KKK, I would feel nearly as threatened by them as I would by these Black Panthers)

Everybody laughs at those of us who wear bicycle shorts, but we get to laugh at those people riding bikes with gym shorts, knowing full well how sore their butts will be tomorrow.:lol:
 
So, if I stood in front of you brandishing a night stick, you would not consider that threatening?

no LOL
define in front of me
are you blocking me, trying to stop me? then yes
or just in fornt of me in general? i think I saw a girl walk right by them a couple times

KKK and black panthers are apples and oranges

In my case, I would be standing in front of you wearing my bike shorts and helmet and brandishing my bicyle pump.:lol:

Somewhat, in that one is white and the other is black, but they are both terrorist organizations. I'm surprised that Homeland Security isn't watching them, but they are too busy watching anti-abortionists, Christians, Tea Partiers, returning veterans, law-abiding gun owners, and right-winged conservatives.
 
Yes I did but that doesnt change anything
like i said again if theres real evidence, prosucute,convict away but the video proves nothing and neither do a coupel wittness it will become hearsay, thats my point

if the video was better,or some other evidence then throw the book at them! but i dont see that?
Trust me I dont want anybody to itimidate voters i just dont see any clear conviction here what so ever and if i was a judge id be forced to dismiss BUT thats only with MY knowledge of the law, im nobody lol there may be a very clearl law the violated I dont know about, but currently i see none

The video shows a Black Panther brandishing a nightstick... you couldn't see that???

The whole idea behind voter intimidation is their feelings. If they FEEL intimidated by these actions by the Black Panthers, then voter intimidation has occurred. It really is an open and shut case, but the racists at DoJ decided not to pursue what really was an easy case. If they were wearing KKK hoods, the thugs would already be in prison where they belong...

True that, though some girls here actually like them.... BTW, can't wait to sport the new Team Radio Shack uniform that just came in the mail at our ride/run workout tomorrow... woo hoo...

SOME people that call themselves Black panthers are almost just as bad BUT there are many other BPP groups that have members of all races

also while i agree lots of focus shouldnt be given to those groups above and when they get news coverage those are the only terms they use (unfairly group them all together) the fact remains there are some serious loons in those groups! And those loons get the most coverage and therefore polute those groups, its unfortunate.

And in this case, those loons clearly broke the law and should be prosecuted for it and sent to jail...

wow its that simple huh? glad our court system doent work that way thank good
what if your a wussy? what if you are a 80 year old 5'1" chinese guy and the night guard just got off his shift and he is outside smoking, he is a 6'8" 300lb black guy with a beard and you "feel" intimidated, guess thats an open shut case too? LOL

again if these guys did something wrong I want them locked up but the fact remains this video isnt enough
 
right... one is black and the other is white...

wrong
one is white, all white and is associated with lynching and killing non-white
the other has many groups that try to use one name but have different views and allow ALL races to be involved
some groups (the minority) have used violence and are ONLY for blacks, others the majority are not and have not

apples and oranges

not enough evidence for that at all, but if true lock them up but i see nothing that "clearly"puts these guys away for anything
i could SPECULATE but thats not how the law works in this case

Sorry, the law works in favor of those who want to vote without feeling intimidated. This is a clear open and shut case. Brandishing a night stick is a threatening act, especially when wearing jackboots and other paraphenalia of a known racist militant organization. Watching your logical gymnastics defending them is amusing, but actually shows your agenda more than anything else...

Did you think the Minutemen guarding the boarder and preventing illegals from coming across acted menacingly against the illegals?

lol nice try, attempting to write me off saying I have an agenda will not work because it simply isnt true LMAO
the courts need something called evidence and I havent seen it yet but trust me if i did I would want them locked up so defend your stance dont try to make stuff up using assumptions, fantasy and opinions

The evidence is in the videos. I can't help is that you choose to ignore it. Don't tell me you can't see the nightsticks!!!

DOnt know, im not familiar with the ins and outs of what you ar refferring to BUT I can say I am all for better enforcment of immagration and the arizona law doesnt bother me one bit if it does in fact mirror the federal law which i have read it does and honestly even if it didnt it still doent bother me

Who said I didnt see the knight sticks LMAO
theres no evidence there to "convict"
the only thing being ignored is REALITY and how the justice system works, the video is not enough evidence at all

Not trying to change the subject, but just want to show that since the Minutemen were standing in the way of any potential illegals crossing, their actions can also be compared to Black Panthers standing in the way of any potential white voters, and that was their intent to scare away these white voters, since that polling place had both white and black voters registered there. Of course, the Black Panthers knew that, and that's why they were there.

well again not familiar but i dont think those compare at all because the minute men by what you are saying are trying to stop a crime.

also while i might agree thats why they were there it still an assumption, they said they were there to make sure there wasnt imtimiadation from stopping black voters, no we both know this could be total BS but thats not enough in court.

and again they dont seem to be intimidating anybody has people walk right by them

and again just to be clear im am NOT condoning what they did im simply asking for prove without a reasonable doubt, like the law needs. to convict these guys on nothing but this video cant be done with out lots of assuming, assuming i may very well share BUT that doesnt make it right

Look at the video in the OP at about 20 seconds, for goodness sake!!!

LMAO Ive seen the whole thing a bunch of times what "supposedly" happens I see a little female walking around in the back having almost a valley girl style type conversation in the back ground walking back and fourth like they arent even there, she seems real intimidated LOL

again i dont condone this but im looking at reality, this video alone couldnt convict them of anything that I know of
