    Did you see Fox interviewing the guy that was left standing (with his Black Panthers uniform on) claiming he didn't know anything about what was caught on video. Even though he was standing right next to the guy with the nightstick.

    They also called the cops on Fox, but Fox is allowed to be within 10 ft of the doorway. They don't have to leave.

    Transcript from TVEyes and MM: http://mms.tveyes.com/Transcript.asp...False&RefPage=

    FOX: LEVENTHAL (Alleged Black Panthers Voter Intimidation)

    JANE SKINNER: breaking election news, we have reports of possible voter intimidation in some way — pennsylvania. republicans saying that two black panthers have been blocking the doorway of one polling locations. rick, what are the details on this? what are you hearing?

    RICK LEVENTHAL: i do not even know where to begin, but we have reached a polling place in the city of philadelphia. one of the two black panthers who was allegedly blocking the door is standing right over here, with an accused us of intimidating voters because we were here with a camera and microphone. he did not answer questions, other people here have confirmed that another person in black panther attire was holding a night stick and apparently the concern was that they were intimidating people who were trying to go inside to vote. a republican poll observer actually called the police, the police were here and we miss them, they came and left. that person called the police is here. why don’t you tell us — step down off the curb, if you do not mind. what is going on here?

    CITIZEN: we got a phone call that there was intimidation going on. i walked up to the door, two gentlemen in black panther guard, one brandishing a nightstick, standing in front of the door. they closed ranks as i walked up. i am a veteran, that does not scare me. i went inside and found full- watchers, they said they had been here for an hour — i went inside and found poll-watchers, they said that they had said not to let people outside because black people are going to win no matter what. at that point, i spoke to him, we would not get into a fistfight, i said, and i called the police.

    LEVENTHAL: the person with the nightstick was escorted away, which i just confirmed inside. but the implication is that you were telling me that the black panthers were there to intimidate white voters from coming to this location?

    CITIZEN: anyone who is not going their way, i do not know. someone in front of a polling place with a nightstick, that is intimidating for all voters.

    LEVENTHAL: this is the first time i have heard of black panthers being stationed outside of a polling place. the one gentleman who is still here, he is a poll-watcher?

    CITIZEN: yes, and he can wear what he wants.

    LEVENTHAL: the other person was not allowed to be there with a nice that?

    CITIZEN: you cannot stand with a nightstick anywhere, that is a weapon. obviously, you cannot stand around with a weapon menacingly in your hand under any circumstances.

    LEVENTHAL: that is situation, as far as we know it. we have heard of other incidents in the city, including voting machines breaking down. we heard of an incident not far from here where far — all three machines broke down. people did wait, most of them. lines have dissipated. i have not made it inside yet, we had a skirmish in front of the door. apparently there is voting going on as well. at this point, apparently anyone who wants to vote here can vote here.

    SKINNER: i know that they do not have enough people to man ever falling site, but as far as you understand the police have come and gone. is anyone monitoring in case someone is still hanging around?

    LEVENTHAL: well there are poll watchers still standing here, we’ve been to at least a half a dozen polls around here and I haven’t seen any police officers, they don’t want a police presence to intimidate some voters, they did escort one gentleman out of here

    SKINNER: It’s true in some places they don’t want police on sight, plenty going on there for you

    A person can wear what he wants while standing in front of a polling center?

    Hmmm…I wonder if it would be considered intimidating if a white man wore a Klan outfit and stood in front of a polling center?

    Sort of off topic - I didn't even know that they were still around as a cohesive group.

    Anyone trying to stop or intimidate a citizen from voting should be arrested on the spot!

    There were no reports of it actually intimidating someone from voting, but was suspected that it could. I tend to agree, would've certainly creeped me out.

    Yeah I bet they would be calling the police and every news station would be there if the KKK was standing there like that. Thats sorry.
