Apparently the Black Panthers went out of there way this morning to provide “security” for one polling location in West Philadelphia. One intrepid UPenn student got this story started with a camera phone. I had no idea that the Black Panthers will still active … and more importantly that those sweet berets and night sticks are standard issue at 9:00 in the morning.

Oh and Fox News totally ran with this news story. Poor Rick Levanthal almost got his ass kicked …

Isn’t democracy grand?

   Check your philly geography. That was 12th and Fairmount. Definitely North Philly, and about 3 blocks from where I used to live.

   My apologies. I was going by the description on the YouTube captions as well as the initial reports on the Interwebs … I will make the necessary changes.
