GOPDD: New Black Panthers Plan Armed Protests Outside GOP Convention

Jul 13, 2016 by Clyde

Hasim Nzinga, the chairman of the New Black Panther Party, said members of his group will carry firearms during protests at the Republican Party’s convention in Cleveland, if allowed by law, because they’ve been threatened and need to defend themselves.

“If it is an open state to carry, we will exercise our Second Amendment rights because there are other groups threatening to be there that are threatening to do harm to us,” Nzinga said, Reuters reported. “If that state allows us to bear arms, the Panthers and the others who can legally bear arms will bear arms.”
