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.
If it’s legal for us, it’s legal for them. They are the ones who push for double standards.
Yes you do. My black friends who are believers in Jesus Christ are well aware how far off the rails the black community at large in America has fallen.
It could definitely happen. As proof, someone show me ONE INSTANCE where the Republicans in Congress pushed back and overturned any of Barry Soetoro’s Unconstitutional executive orders?
He’s a damned Mau Mau liar.
Typical. When these thugs wear bandanas to cover their ugly faces you know that mayhem is just around the corner.
It would prove that bikers are good for something.
I suspect that’s the plan. Open carry with then come under attack because it leads to this.
Of course the Soros plan all along was to destroy our rights.
Why that guy hasn’t been jettisoned by now is beyond me.
‘Would love to see the Bikers wipe out every last one of these scumbags.’
The real old time bikers are keeling over in their 50’s and 60’s as a result of smoking, drinking, and snorting stuff they probably shouldn’t have. The bikers riding their 20k bikes are mostly yuppies living out adolescent dreams.
Wouldn’t look for a lot of help there.
You guys are worrywarts. Nothing will come of this. The BPs will whine and shout, as they always do, but probably be deterred from anything violent by the realization that they will be easy to target by civilians defending themselves even if the cops walk away.
You wrote a pretty good article about how things would proceed and how law enforcement and the government will be coming down against the citizenry defending the chaos these pukes intend to spread.
This is all a huge set up.
The Hells Angels are not yuppies and they will be in Cleveland.
Not correct. Other then the outlaw gangs, most bikers are patriotic hard-working charitable decent members of society. I know because I was biker before my 11 years Navy and again after. I just recently stopped riding because of health reasons and sold my bike. I've been to countless biker events (including Sturgis) and never saw as much as fist fight.
Plus there are many many Veterans among the biker community and various clubs that give to charity. Ever hear of the annual Rolling Thunder event that 100's of thousands ride from all across our country to DC for the purpose of supporting Veterans and other good causes? Ever hear of the Patriot Guard Riders who formed to combat the sick cult that protests at Veteran funerals? Google HOG, which is the biggest organization of bikers.
You are making the mistake of lumping all biker in with the 1%ers. There's a reason they call themselves that - they are the outlaw one percent of all bikers.
What makes you think the HA's will be in Cleveland? They are apolitical and try to avoid anywhere that will have large police presence.
Is this the same Liz that inspired me to create the “With Love and Appreciation” slideshow back when? If so, hope you are doing well. If not, thanks for the article.
Ball’s in my court?
Who are you, Judge Judy?
True enough except for the "snorting" thing. Still a lot of those old timers are big burly Veterans of Viet Nam and Desert Storm and won't back down.
"The bikers riding their 20k bikes are mostly yuppies living out adolescent dreams."
Can't argue with that. Still, even the yuppie wannabes are mostly big guys who have the moxy to attend biker events. At 5"10, 165lbs, I'm probably one of the smallest bikers I've ever seen. Aging or not, bikers present an intimidating presence. They just need to show up in numbers with their loud Harleys and it will make the Panthers think twice.
Interesting! Is it time for these radical blacks to strike FOR REAL? Is this merely for media attention alone? I don’t think blacks, at present, are ready for mass assaults with real killing.
Someday they will come to a startling realization that most of the guns, ammo, and training to use them properly are on the other side. Go ahead and start something
Heh, heh!
