New Black Panthers in Houston

[chanel]

The New Black Panthers were again in Philadelphia — with former defendant Jerry Jackson once again perched at the entrance to a poll. He engaged voters, some of whom were not so happy about it. But Philadelphia wasn’t the only American city graced by the presence of New Black Panthers today. They were also active in Houston.

Texas law prohibited the New Black Panthers from bursting into a polling place. They are not allowed within 100 feet of the polls for any reason except to vote or if they are credentialed poll watchers, which they weren’t. This illegal behavior was repeated at multiple polling places in Houston.

Quanell X is the Houston version of King Samir Shabazz, the chairman of the local New Black Panthers. His legal name is Quanell Abdul Farrakhan. Before that, it was Ralph Evans.

Mr. X led a squad of at least five New Black Panthers, including members in New Black Panther uniforms, into Houston polling places, including precinct 202, illegally.

They spoke with election officials inside this and other polling places. After these discussions, white poll watchers were either denied admittance or ejected. White election judges were also removed, under threat of calling the police for trumped-up complaints.

Why didn't he call the police and the GOP headquarters as soon as the polling place was invaded? Sounds like a fish story to me. WTF was he supposed to be watching?

The police WERE there and a constable escorted the GOP thug member of a voter suppression group known as the King Street "Patriots" to his car. The GOP KSP Klan Had been harassing minority voters since the start of early voting.

Eye on Williamson BREAKING: Voter intimidation in Houston
On the first day of early voting, reports began flooding into the Harris County Democratic headquarters from minority voters claiming that they were subjected to race-based intimidation at early voting locations. The Harris County Attorney immediately met with the chairs of the Democratic and Republican parties to examine the complaints.
The intimidation is believed to be a part of a coordinated effort between Republicans and a corporate-back group named the King Street Patriots. Persons representing King Street have been observed at polling locations conducting private conversations with voters and elections workers, activity prohibited by Texas Election Code.

Your link makes this claim about the King Street Patriot Thug in the video:

This man was a poll watcher fielded by the King Street Patriots to observe the proceedings at precinct 202:

However the lawyer for the "non profit" 501(c)4 corporation KSP said this:

Some Harris County early voters upset by poll watchers | Houston & Texas News | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle
Hiram Sasser, an attorney for the King Street Patriots, denied the group was intimidating voters. "The King Street Patriots don't have any registered poll watchers," he said. "Registered poll watchers work for either a party or a candidate."

You see if the KSP worked for either a Party or candidate they would not be able to function as a TAX EXEMPT nonprofit 501(c)4 corporation and would have to reveal their donors. So clearly the GOP goon in the video is lying about being a "registered poll watcher" which is why HE was thrown out and not the Panthers, if they even were Panthers since we have only the word of the proven liar in the video.

[Revere]

Why do free people need black men in uniforms patrolling polling places?

Why do free people need black men in uniforms patrolling polling places?

To protect them from harassment by the GOP King Street Hateriots Klan minority voter suppression goon squad.

Your fellow Klansmen on the supplied link in the OP have a better idea:
"hang them. Publicly!"

Two wrongs don't make a right. The black panther racist thugs should have been barred from entering. And they should be facing charges.

Again, there is not one iota of proof that a Panther was there. There is only the word of the PROVEN liar in the video!!!! The proven liar in the video was NOT a registered poll worker as he claimed, he had no business being there and was escorted out by the constable. He was a GOP thug trying to suppress the minority vote.

 

[Revere]

Was the New Black Panther prevented from voting?

 

[Trajan]

this is why there should be zero tolerance of/for any of this, but hey with this DOJ playing favs. here ya go.

 

[edthecynic]

Was the New Black Panther prevented from voting?

What Panther?

There were complaints filed against the GOP for voter intimidation there since the start of early voting, and the GOP goon in the video admitted that he had approached the presiding judge with "voting violations" and as the lawyer for the King Street Thugs stated none of then are registered poll watchers. So what is this GOP goon doing approaching the presiding judge with a number of "voting violations?" He's breaking the law and he got the boot, not the nonexistent Panther.

 

[BlindBoo]

Faux outrage again from the teabaggers. Like the Acorn lies, the Brietfart video, and other bold face lies from the rabid right, I think something is fishy with this guys story.

Not that I give two shits about Mr. X........

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Not surprising. Just more pathetic Hopey Changey "Community Organizers" doing their jobs. I hope someone has the balls to prosecute them. What a disgrace.

TexAss passed a law specifically to keep members of the NBPs away from polling places?
