Election Disruption Admission: Chairman of New Black Panther Party Admits Plan to Intimidate Voters

July 9, 2010

In video posted online, Malik Shabazz, NBPP leader admits he knows NBPP members carry batons and that there was an organized effort by NBPP to put members at polling locations

Chairman Malik Shabazz says in part "We had to go out and do what we did..... We tend to go out and do it strong you know....sometimes we do it real strong".

Shabazz confirms and expands on the willful tactics and seems to claim victim status due to the generous film footage showing the clear use of threats by him and his organization in a national election. "They had cameras and pollwatchers... " says Shabazz.

Public Advocate does not condone threats of violence or intimidation by private groups at any time and especially condemns the use of batons, nightsticks, guns and other instruments to intimidate votes at any polling place in America or the world.
