Philly Panthers investigation halted
Last May I wrote that the DOJ had decided to not prosecute the three Philadelphia Black Panthers who were caught on tape intimidating voters last election day. The man in the picture above is Thomas J Pirrelli, the Obama Justice Department official who decided to drop the investigation against the Philadelphia Black Panthers. The Washington Times describes the time line of events;
Front-line lawyers were in the final stages of completing that work when they were unexpectedly told by their superiors in late April to seek a delay after a meeting between political appointees and career supervisors, according to federal records and interviews. The delay was ordered by then-acting Assistant Attorney General Loretta King after she discussed with Mr. Perrelli concerns about the case during one of their regular review meetings, according to the interviews. Ms. King, a career senior executive service official, had been named by President Obama in January to temporarily fill the vacant political position of assistant attorney general for civil rights while a permanent choice could be made. She and other career supervisors ultimately recommended dropping the case against two of the men and the party and seeking a restraining order against the one man who wielded a nightstick at the Philadelphia polling place. Mr. Perrelli approved that plan, officials said.
The reason?
Justice Department spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler told The Washington Times that the department has an “ongoing obligation to be sure the claims it makes are supported by the facts and the law. She said that after a “thorough review of the complaint, top career attorneys in the Civil Rights Division determined the “facts and the law did not support pursuing the claims against three of the defendants.
Well, sure, as long as you disregard the fact that the video on YouTube doesn’t exist. Who needs evidence when you can just pull excuses out of your ass. Correction; I just noticed that the video on YouTube has been pulled “due to terms of use violations”. Sweet. Apparently Winston Smith is on the job.

That charming glee club has tangled with the Philly Police before. They are an armed paramilitary group & have threatened violence.
That’s alright Fox News has their own video of the incident from their reporter on the scene that day, Rick Leventhal I believe.
Here is your link to the original Fox report from that day.

Here is another segment from the O’Reilly Factor that includes footage of the other guy with the stick. http://www.foxnews.com/search-results/m/22394430/off-the-hook.htm#q=Black+Panthers
Nice to see the Chicago machine still well-oiled and rolling.
Justice Department to Philly Police: “Nice Police Department you have there. Shame if something happened to it…..”
Loretta King’s Department is investigating the Maricopa County Sheriff, and is sueing a NJ county because they won’t let a muslim wear her head scarf @ work.
Didn’t someone else write about the pied piper/COWboy President and what Holder had done? Yep. Bunch of bullshit for sure and thuggery at it’s best. The Panthers are guilty and the video proves it. WTF, anyway?
Finally you all are seeing what its like for the majority of black people in this country. You have no idea how many crimes against minorities there are everyday that do not get pursued because a white police officer and his boss decide that its not enough to go on.
For once, ONCE in the US the white’s are descriminated against and you all lose your minds.
Doesnt feel good, now does it.
We let your white cop off the hook at Harvard and you all didnt let out a peep of protest…I wonder why.
The guys were black? Sorry, I was more focused on the weapons they were carrying in order to intimidate people from casting their votes in the presidential election.
I assume from the tone of your post then, Rec, that if I stood in front of a voting booth in inner city Detroit or Harlem with a baseball bat and a switchblade that ‘whitey’ would cover up the crime for me.
It’s a good thing we have a post racial president so we don’t have to worry about this sort of stuff anymore.
I have a link to the original video in my posting this morning:

At the very top of that post I link to my original election day posting where I have links to several videos.
reciprocity,
What era are you living in? The ’70’s are long gone, bro. Only race-baiters keep up that tired old “Man’s keepin’ me down” crap.
Pure bullshit.
You don’t suppose he would be a bit biased do you?
From his Wiki bio:
“…Since his return to Jenner and Block in 2001, Perrelli has also represented Democratic voters and elected officials in redistricting litigation arising out of the 2000 Census…”
and
“…Perrelli graduated from Harvard Law School, magna cum laude, in 1991, where he was managing editor of the Harvard Law Review…”
and who preceded his tenure at the Harvard Law Review?
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0608/11257.html
“…Barack Obama’s election in 1990 as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review gave him his first moment of national fame, a powerful intellectual credential and a sweet book deal. It was also his first electoral victory, won in part by convincing the conservative minority of law students that he would treat them fairly…”
Nah, couldn’t be any underlying motivation to not prosecute would ya think?
Philly democratic politics at it’s best…And Rec, you might want to check out the number of whites murdered, raped, robbed and carjacked every year by blacks AND the case of voter intimidation of whites in Mississippi AND the fact that it’s never front page news….Maybe then you’ll have something to complain about in your lifetime.
“You have no idea how many crimes against minorities there are everyday that do not get pursued because a white police officer and his boss decide that its not enough to go on.”
Actually, I do. Lived in da ‘hood for a bit & a stint in corrections. I love it when peeps howl that too many “minorities” are in prison. Do a fact check & see who called the cops on ’em in the first place… 99% of the time it was people of their same ethnic background who were criminalised by them Reciprocity.
“We let your white cop off the hook at Harvard and you all didn’t let out a peep of protest”. WTF are you talking about? I mean, seriously, do you even have a clue as to how uninformed and seriously detached from reality you sound?
Like Athena said, do you have any idea how many black on white crimes are committed vs white on black? Just a hint, the numbers are far higher for black on white.
But then, Holder’s nothing but a race-hustler, like his boss. Wonder who benefits when you can’t check voter ID’s, who benefits when you dismiss plainly criminal conduct at a polling place?
“We let your white cop off the hook at Harvard and you all didn’t let out a peep of protest”.
You’re not letting anyone “off the hook” when they’re doing they’re job and it’s an asshole member of your demographic that started the race baiting in the first place. This is staright up Tawana Brawley shit.
