The chairman of the New Black Panther Party announced the group will attend pre-RNC events carrying firearms for self-defense.
"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 a telephone interview.
"If that state allows us to bear arms, the Panthers and the others who can legally bear arms will bear arms."
The group says it expects "a couple hundred" members to attend a pre-convention rally called "National Convention of the Oppressed." The event is scheduled for Thursday and the Panthers said they would leave Cleveland on Sunday before the RNC officially opens.
“We are there to protect ... We are not trying to do anything else,” he said. "We are going to carry out some of these great legal rights we have -- to assemble, to protest and (to exercise) freedom of speech.”
“I have people literally calling me saying this is the first time in my life I protested and I loved it.” Nzinga told Reuters. "They want to be a part of something. They tried to be a part of the system and the system let them down so they want to be part of a rebellion.”
Meanwhile, police departments are pulling out of RNC security plans. The Mansfield Police Department said "something came up" and the Richland County Sheriff's Department has decided not to attend saying "It's kind of a long drive."
The Cincinnati Police announced back in May they would not be assisting with security.
We’ll see, won’t we?
As residents about 20 miles south of the RNC, we’ll be well prepared to deal with any shenanigans should the Panther’s care to get out of hand. Still, family is going to batten down and stay put for a couple weeks, staying very local.
Amen!
I’m with you. I responded to him, but I hit a wrong key and it self deleted.
They're no different then any other foreign terroriest group..!
Let’s see what happens when somebody dumps a few mags into a BLM riot on a freeway.
The media/political reaction will make Dallas look like a picnic.
You got it.
If Trump wins in November, all the GOPe cowards who hid will be politically dead.
Including the entire Bush lineage.
The new Tonton Macoute.!!
The only oppressed people in the US are those taxpayers who are footing the bill for these ahats.
That proud black man isn’t so proud if he has to childishly hide behind a bandana.
They've never gone anywhere without being fully armed. Every protest, they're armed.
Are they not participating, or are they staying in their cities in case trouble spreads? I understand there are 12-13 other states sending officers to Cleveland for security.
"The black community in American is largely a huge mess. Crime, sexual immorality, profanity, abortion, impulsive behavior, lack of education, low test scores, and academic failure. And all of this despite being given preferences in job hiring and university admissions. Most blacks in America have declared themselves beyond sin, beyond accountability to God. And I can say this because over 70% of black households are raised by single mothers with illegitimate children. Racist blacks need someone to blame other than themselves. They are like that is functional family member that ruined their own lives with drugs, crime, fraud, and sloth. Now they want to move in with the relative who has been successful and worked hard to raise their family. They want what they have in their going to take it by force.
YOU GET WHAT YOU SUBSIDIZE....
Nope. None of those things will be in the event zone.
yep
Can felons open carry in Ohio?
OK, ball’s in your court.
You are the director of FEMA and the Prez has directed you to give him a plan for the imposition of martial law in those states where racial violence has been heaviest, it having been determined that state & local law enforcement resources have proven insufficient to restore order.
Wait a sec - BLMers blocking bridges have already been rounded up and placed under arrest. BLM street demos are menacing but lack numbers needed for successful insurrection. States to Feds: “Thanks but no thanks”.
Preezy says, “All right you ungrateful b@stards! Martial law throughout the land! Governors are responsible for enforcing my orders concerning gun confiscation and press restrictions. Noncompliance means arrest and Federal charges!”
Congress says, “Mr. President, you can’t do that with our support. We have not been consulted and you cannot act unilaterally. Show us officially your justification for such an action. We have ways of blocking it.”
Preezy: “You’re all under arrest!”
See where we’re going? Sure, the Begala doctrine on Presidential executive orders says, “Stroke of the pen, law of the land. Kind of cool.” But it doesn’t work that way.
Best to keep our eyes on the immediate situation in Cleveland, in my opinion.
Would love to see the Bikers wipe out every last one of these scumbags.
The Tonton Macoutes were the enforcers of a brutal & lawless dictatorship in a small island nation. They worked directly for “Papa Doc” Duvalier.
Here, massed armed black thugs only make for an enticing target. Ever notice how silencers/suppressors have been proliferating recently?
Black Panthers are marching down a street when bullets start ricocheting off buildings with no gunshot report.
Are Tyrone & Dayvon gonna hang around for that?
