Department of ‘Social Justice’?

By Glenn Beck

Remember the footage from the 2008 presidential election? It’s of New Black Panther Party members who were standing in front of a polling location in Philadelphia in full uniform wielding a police-style baton weapon. They were clearly trying to intimidate potential voters.

Now how many times have you seen guys in uniform with baton weapons in front of your polling place? I know, it happens all the time, right? Well, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court in Philadelphia against Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson. They were part of a national effort by the New Black Panthers to station members at polls and intimidate.

After the case was effectively won by the Department of Justice and a default sentencing was imminent in May of 2009, the DOJ made the unheard of move to suddenly file a notice of voluntary dismissal of the lawsuit for two of the defendants.

There had to be some reason for the sudden turnaround, right? Some logical explanation.

Maybe the defendants were unaware that they were standing in front of a polling location and it was all a big mix up. Maybe they were very, very sorry for violating Americans’ rights and engaging in an activity that African-Americans, of all people, should be offended by.

Most likely, you saw this on Beck. If, somehow you managed to miss his interpretation of the poll incident which took place in Philadelphia thusly:

Black Panther Intimidation At Polls?

Are Black Panther guards intimidating voters at city polls? The National Black Panther Party says as much.

“We will be at the polls in the cities and counties in many states to ensure that the enemy does not sabotage the black vote, which was won through the blood of the martyrs of our people.”

A confrontation in Philadelphia was reported, one between a veteran and two Black Panther guards…”

Ok… Now that we’re up to speed…

I must confess that when this happened in 2008, I was SO impressed that I placed the photo below on my personal website homepage where I keep all of my important links. It’s one of only two pics on there… See the screen grab…

Back in those long gone days, I was flabbergasted that this story just came and went. The thug in the Che hat was toting a “nightstick.” How, in the name of all that is holy did it ever become a BATON?? ALL the news guys are referring to the crackerknocker in this guy’s paw as a BATON. Look here, friends. The beret guy is carrying a length of stick suitable for bouncing off white heads, and beating in the faces of they white babies. He’s a kook, nut, and a dangerous racist, the likes of which we haven’t seen since the last anti Jew rally at the U.N., and he is holding his night baton in a most menacing manner at a polling place. I think I would have been a little nervous having to walk around him to go vote. What about you?

So, I ax you again….How did the nightstick you see here become a BATON like high school girls carry in the homecoming parade and toss very highly indeed at the football game half time? I’ll bet the first time ol Racist Shabazz lands a thump on your head because you are voting the wrong way, you’ll stop calling it a sissy baton.

And while we’re at it. A simple question. If you do happen to have an opinion on the Shabazz/Poll/DOJ debacle, would you possibly feel differently now IF the Department of Justice had cracked down on Shabazz instead of giving him a pass?
