Horseshit gay boy. Conservatives jumped up and down saying it was ok for tea baggers to go to protest strapped with automatic rifles. Faux outrage is gay
So everyone is on board with the KKK at the polling booth? Are we?
They behave themselves and follow the rules...why not?
Showing up with weapons is NOT behaving. It's intimidation tactics.

Yes! Why not? I agree.

Well the KKK can show up with torches and rope, that won't intimidate anybody. long as they act like "gentlemen"

And they leave as soon as someone asks them to.

"Vague"?No one has to be intimidated. The attempt is illegal.
Brandishing a weapon while wearing paramilitary gear outside a polling place is an attempt to intimidate. There is no credible way to deny it.
And that is what he was charged with. The vague "attempt to intimidate". Given the circumstances, he was banned from polling places for two years and no other charges were pursued.
Do you have similar case law at polling places where a defendent received a harsher penalty?
You see what you want to see. And you don't want to see wrongdoing by Democrats.
No one has to be intimidated. The attempt is illegal.Intimidation?
Do you have evidence anyone was intimidated? You can't see it on your clip. These two gentlemen were politely asked to leave and did so.
Brandishing a weapon while wearing paramilitary gear outside a polling place is an attempt to intimidate. There is no credible way to deny it.The first type of vote suppression, direct threats of intimidation, is subject to criminal punishment under both federal and state law. Among the federal laws that can be used to challenge direct intimidation, the most important is the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Section 11(b) of the Voting Rights Act states that "no person [ ] shall intimidate, threaten, or coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any person for voting or attempting to vote."
So you are not aware of the testimonies of eye witnesses including a registered democrat who was a CIVIL RIGHTS attorney working under RFK back in the 60's?
Read his reply, he said "what is presented". All that was presented was a video clip. If the guy who started this thread wanted to prove a point, he should have contributed something more substantiual.
That might work if the story wasn't from Nov 2008. This is the third thread that discussed it just since I joined the board, so he should know all the information about it by now.
Carrying a weapon where it is legal is not intimidation. Showing weapons and being dressed in urban war gear on election day at a polling place is about as anti-American as you can be.
You moonbats are about as fucking stupid as a turkey. Nah, even the turkey is smarter.

daveman, I thought that was YOU with the billyclub yelling for the crackers to bow down to the black man!
Obama and his merry band of assorted thugs do quite nicely on their own. 
I think if a white guy wearing a Confederate T-shirt stood outside an inner city polling place holding a baseball bat, acting exactly as these "gentlemen" did, you'd be calling for his head on a platter."Vague"?And that is what he was charged with. The vague "attempt to intimidate". Given the circumstances, he was banned from polling places for two years and no other charges were pursued.

I've asked for specific things these guys allegedly did. Are you going to give me the "your going to lose cracker" quote too?
You guys post a youtube that just show them standing outside politely answering questions. They left when asked to do so.
I have conceded all along that carrying a baton outside a polling place is not allowed. Simply show me where in similar cases, poll violators were not simply asked to leave.
Show me how this has been prosecuted in the past to a higher degree than this one was.
Hey, Billy! You know Adolph pussed out and killed himself, right? What a sissy bedwetter he was!No one has to be intimidated. The attempt is illegal.Intimidation?

in light of a recent SCOTUS ruling some buddies and I would like to join the Black Panthers
They'd have to take you, too!
This is another "putting myself in the other person's shoes" thang,
but this wasn't a "normal" election and those folks probably just wanted some extra security to prevent any violence from occurring.
They were afraid of us, people, of what they foresaw could happen in a "worst case scenario" of one of the most controversial elections EVER,
and got carried away.
And, see? THIS is what scares me about it ~ are we going to "drink the Kool Aid" that makes US forget how we'd react in the same situation, to the extent that we have to scream for blood from the Other Side for mistakes made by individuals?
If this had been SOP throughout the city, or state, or nation,
YES, I'd be right beside y'all.
But it wasn't. (It could very well have been that the poll ladies asked their younger family members to come to PREVENT any trouble, and they went a little over-board with the program.)
Yes, it is illegal to do that, but let's face it ~ it's "illegal" to do a LOT of things that WE do, and if WE were caught,
WE'd want the other folks to understand where we were coming from, and to be lenient with us for our MISTAKES.
Much as I hate to have to say this, RightWinger has an Excellent Point in asking for other examples of the prosecution of similar cases, and the outcomes OF those hearings.
yeah that's it, they were just afraid of us. That must explain them saying. "get ready to be ruled by the black man, Cracker" while brandishing a baton and slapping it in his hand in an intimidating fashion.
He did all that because we are bad bad people.
Unbelievable.
lol
