The two BPP members didn’t actually ‘attack’ anyone.
So, the Justice Department is correct in that there is NO EVIDENCE they physically restrained anyone to keep them from voting.
They were just two ‘black guys’ in a ‘black’ neighborhood trying to ensure that no White people interfered with the black people voting for Obama.
They were simply ‘afraid’ that hordes of white folks were going to come in and pummel black voters with McCAIN/PALIN signs.
HOWEVER..... had this been someone wearing a KKK Hood, standing in front of a voting booth, we know what would have happened.
HAD this been a TEA PARTY member who had any kind of PATCH on their clothing, or had a stick in their hand, we know what would have happened.
They would end up like Erik Scott at the COSTCO in Las Vegas. Where the COPS think that RENO 911 is a TRAINING VIDEO.
Read the evidence and testimony again. The tall "panther" actually stood blocking the doorway from one voter. This testimony was entered into evidence.
Has anyone ever read their ‘10 point system’? Confused and hostile individuals for sure.
