FOX News reports that "Charges brought against three members of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense under the Bush administration have been dropped by the Obama Justice Department."
Minister King Samir Shabazz, Malik Zulu Shabazz and Jerry Jackson were charged after an incident in Philadelphia on Election Day 2008, where they had threatened voters, hurled racial slurs. and blocked poll and campaign workers. Prosecutors said Shabazz held a nightstick or baton and pointed it at people and tapped it.
Bartle Bull, who was a 1960's civil rights lawyer as well as a campaign manager for Robert Kennedy, said it was the most blatant form of voter intimidation he had ever seen. He wrote in an affidavit obtained by FOX News, "I watched the two uniformed men confront voters and attempt to intimidate voters. They were positioned in a location that forced every voter to pass in close proximity to them. The weapon was openly displayed and brandished in plain sight of voters." He also said that they tried to "interfere with the work of other poll observers ... whom the uniformed men apparently believed did not share their preferences politically," and one turned toward white poll observers and said "you are about to be ruled by the black man, cracker."
The wimp Obama Department of Justice told FOX News that they had obtained "an injunction that prohibits the defendant who brandished a weapon outside a Philadelphia polling place from doing so again." Claims were dismissed against the other defendants. Oooh. That was a harsh wrist slap. Well, as long as they were there to support him and keep other voters away, all's good. Let's dismiss all those nasty accusations against the Acorn crew as well.
One has to wonder how the Obama administration would have handled it had it been white Supremists doing the same thing.
Further, now that Obama and followers have gotten away with it this time - what will the next election be like? I can only guess that it will be worse.
