Or make them ...
Get the popcorn out!
I doubt there will be any "proper authorities" in America again until a true American is elected!
We need some YouTube links. Get to work Philly Freepers. Actually, are there any Philly Freepers?
God please watch over these wonderful men. (the panthers will need the prayers more than the SEALS)
Fox News had video of a Black Panther outside a polling place in Philly this morning.
My family went to church last night to pray for the elections and I'm wearing red and will be praying all day.
We live in Nebraska and both my husband and I voted with early ballots. But passing one polling location, noted there were 20 people standing in line before work this morning. There is rarely a line. Wonderful sign of enthusiasm.
...”But isn’t sending big, strapping, steely-eyed men with buzz cuts and special-ops tattoos, at the very least, visually hypocritical?”....
For one thing, we aren’t talking about Jar Heads - which the author seems to be describing. I think most folks would be hard-pressed to pick out a typical SEAL or Green Beret from a crowd, especially when he wishes to blend in.
I just saw a Black Panther on Foxnews standing menacingly in front of a Philly polling place.
Whatever happened to the Loitering laws and the Philly Police Dept?
May the heros of Benghazi be proud of how we vote today.
They gave their lives for us, now we need to give our votes for them.
Vote as if the lives of our Military Men and Women depended on it.
PRAY FOR AMERICA!
So, if they already have an organization in place (’Get out the vote’) then where are they?
And this Black Panther in his little outfit and combat boots could intimidate somebody just by standing there and staring at voters.
Either get in line if you are a registered voter, or leave. I don’t think he should be allowed to loiter there.
If they show up as ghosts, that definitely will scare off Holder’s NBP people.”Feets, do yo’ duty!”
They’ve shown the BP guy on FOX this morning.
I’d arrest him for loitering.
Hooah.
Mistake 1! Should not announced that they were going to do this publicly on the radio. They should have just showed up with their phone cameras and regular cameras and filmed it.

V. The election was held on 1 August. To intimidate voters, Mansfield brought in some 200 armed "deputies". GI poll-watchers were beaten almost at once. At about 3 p.m., Tom Gillespie, an African-American voter, was told by a Sheriff's deputy, "'Nigger, you can't vote here today!!'". Despite being beaten, Gillespie persisted; the enraged deputy shot him. The gunshot drew a crowd. Rumors spread that Gillespie had been "shot in the back"; he later recovered. (C. Stephen Byrum, The Battle of Athens; Paidia Productions, Chattanooga TN, 1987; pp. 155-57).
Other deputies detained ex-GI poll-watchers in a polling place, as that made the ballot count "public". A crowd gathered. Sheriff Mansfield told his deputies to disperse the crowd. When the two ex-GIs smashed a big window and escaped, the crowd surged forward. "The deputies, with guns drawn, formed a tight half-circle around the front of the polling place. One deputy, "his gun raised high ...shouted: 'You sons-of-bitches cross this street and I'll kill you!'" (Byrum, p. 165).
Mansfield took the ballot boxes to the jail for counting. The deputies seemed to fear immediate attack, by the "people who had just liberated Europe and the South Pacific from two of the most powerful war machines in human history." (Byrum, pp. 168-69).
Short of firearms and ammunition, the GIs scoured the county to find them. By borrowing keys to the National Guard and State Guard Armories, they got three M-1 rifles, five .45 semi-automatic pistols, and 24 British Enfield rifles. The armories were nearly empty after the war's end.
By eight p.m., a group of GIs and "local boys" headed for the jail to get the ballot boxes. They occupied high ground facing the jail but left the back door unguarded to give the jail's defenders an easy way out.
VI. The Battle of Athens
Three GIs - alerting passersby to danger - were fired on from the jail. Two GIs were wounded. Other GIs returned fire. Those inside the jail mainly used pistols; they also had a "tommy gun" (a .45 caliber Thompson sub-machine gun).
Firing subsided after 30 minutes: ammunition ran low and night had fallen. Thick brick walls shielded those inside the jail. Absent radios, the GIs' rifle fire was un-coordinated. "From the hillside, fire rose and fell in disorganized cascades. More than anything else, people were simply 'shooting at the jail'." (Byrum, p. 189).
Several who ventured into "no man's land", the street in front of the jail, were wounded. One man inside the jail was badly hurt; he recovered. Most sheriff's deputies wanted to hunker down and await rescue. Governor McCord mobilized the State Guard, perhaps to scare the GIs into withdrawing. The State Guard never went to Athens. McCord may have feared that Guard units filled with ex-GIs might not fire on other ex-GIs.
At about 2 a.m. on 2 August, the GIs forced the issue. Men from Meigs county threw dynamite sticks and damaged the jail's porch. The panicked deputies surrendered. GIs quickly secured the building. Paul Cantrell faded into the night, almost having been shot by a GI who knew him, but whose .45 pistol had jammed. Mansfield's deputies were kept overnight in jail for their own safety. Calm soon returned: the GIs posted guards. The rifles borrowed from the armory were cleaned and returned before sun-up.
This, boys and girls, is the reason we have the 2nd Amendment.
