Video confirms new Black Panthers at Philly voting location
The Black Panthers are back in Philadelphia on election day. Rumors and posts quickly circulated the Internet, but FOX ran this video confirming the reports.
In a September 2012 radio interview, the Black Panthers national chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz claimed that his group may, once again, take to the polling stations on election day.
“I will say that as this election comes up in November, we will consider our options,” Shabazz said during his interview with WABC. “And we will consider the fact whether we will legally and lawfully go to the polls again to make sure there is no intimidation against our people, which was our intent in 2008.”
During the interview with “Aaron Klein Investigative Radio,” the Panthers leader also noted that his organization was not found to be unlawful in the actions that they took in 2008. Thus, taking similar actions again in 2012, in his view, wouldn’t be problematic.
“We will be there. I mean, if we are there. If. We are not saying we will be there or not,” Shabazz said in his September interview. “But whatever we will do, it will be legal and lawful under the Constitution of the United States.”
