Black Panthers march on the California State Assembly.
The Black Panther Party immediately captured the attention of the national media when they marched on the California State capitol on 2 May 1967. The issue at stake this day was publicity and the Panthers gained significant press in the Bay Area as a result of their armed, but legal patrols.
Appearing with displayed weapons was a significant part of the Black Panther image.
Anonymous man appears at Obama health rationing meeting.
The headline would seem odd if it stated: "Man Obeys Law!" but that is exactly what news reports today are saying about an Arizona man who carried a gun to an Obama health care rationing meeting.
What does seem odd is his statement: "I come from another state where 'open carry' is legal, but no one does it, so the police don't really know about it and they harass people, arrest people falsely." The gun-toter was not identified in an interview aired by CNN affiliate KNVX. So he is from another state and he was not identified, they did not ask or he would not reveal his identity? The article did not state. I would suspect that he could be a plant. The CNN article adds that no "charges or arrests" were made. Why would anyone think of charges or arrests? What are the infractions? No one cited a statute or a law that was broken but according to CNN "officers explained the law to some people who were upset." Again, anonymous people were upset. This incident sounds like a provacative act to me. In whose interests would it be to cause an incident, gun-owners, or, the Federal government?
The lap dogs in the mainstream press have had a field day attacking the Constitution though they should remember their roots, left-wing protest premised Mao's statement that `political power grows out of the barrel of a gun.'
Second Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
