New Black Panther Party (1 Viewer)

I almost posted this in the BLM thread, but did not want to muddle the two groups together...it will probably happen anyway. It seems the NBPP is coming to Cleveland for the RNC and they are bringing their weapons...This group seems a little more prone to violence and confrontation than BLM.  I have lived in Ohio for 48 years.  Open carry is legal, but I have never once seen someone here open carry.

It may be a good time for a family vacation.

Is it going to be those same two dudes that stood outside that polling booth in 2008? They were scary looking, and Fox News showed that clip something like 200,000 times.

Try not to get shot. I think this year the riots at the conventions are going to make 1968 look like a Tea Party.

Several other groups, including some supporters of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, have said they will carry weapons in Cleveland, leading to concerns about rival groups being armed in close proximity.

Seems to be a natural progression of our hafwit society.

They make the news occasionally making threats like offering a bounty for George Zimmerman, but despite their claims, it has never been verified that they have that many members:

Membership size[edit]


As of 2009, the NBPP claimed a few thousand members organized in 45 chapters, while independent estimates by the Anti-Defamation League suggest that the group is much smaller but is nevertheless able to attract a large turnout of non-members (some of whom may not even realize what this group actually stands for) to its events by focusing on specific issues of local interest.[13]

Wait, what?

Bounty for George Zimmerman's capture[edit]


Another controversy occurred in 2012 after the NBPP offered a $10,000 bounty for the "legal citizen's arrest" of George Zimmerman, the perpetrator of the shooting of Trayvon Martin. The group also stated that it believed in "a life for a life". The bounty offer was condemned and repudiated by Martin's family and others, including the Rev. Jesse Jackson. The NBPP's organizer, Mikhail Mohammed, said that the United States Constitution granted the right to a citizen's arrest.[35]

Ok a bounty for his arrest.

Ok a bounty for his arrest.

But most people read between the lines and knew what they really meant, particularly with the "a life for a life" line, which was was it so widely condemned.
