That kind of personal attack deserves an account ban.

Had you read the article you would have noticed that there were two instances when police showed. The first time, an officer drove by and asked about the poll worker. Then the officer drove away. The next time a bunch of reporters showed up, whereupon the officer found it desirable to get out of the car and present his face to the camera.

In neither case was anyone arrested nor was a complaint filed.

Well, perhaps these Black Panthers were too busy signing a GOP confidentiality agreement to hand out breakfast for kids before that polling station opened.

(in all seriousness, I'd guess it was just some dude who wanted to dress up to look all Black Panther. And Fox News, well they were more than happy to take advantage of that imagery.)

Black Panthers?

Is there still even an official Black Panther party?

Talk about so forty years ago. Looks like the GOP needs to find a new boogeymen. The old 'uns ain't scarecrow'n like they used to.

Another openly uttered death threat directed at the Democratic candidate for President. I doubt public complaints will change Republican intransigence in denouncing this behavior. What a shame. Though, the footage and other evidence is more than enough to warrant a book or documentary film on the subject after the election.

But I want to know from the Republican leadership: Do you honestly accept this behavior during official Republican events? Because your lack of action here implies support.

It's like the Republican leadership is intent on party suicide. I've never seen anything like this.
