Peaceful protests

Oh looky they are not going by their given names either.

Members of the militant New Black Panther Party have been arrested and charged with making straw purchases of two handguns and are believed to have conspired to detonate pipe bombs during protests in Ferguson, Missouri, according to several reports.

Brandon Baldwin, who goes by the name Brandon Muhammad, and Olajuwon Davis, who goes by Olajuwon Ali, were indicted on Wednesday for making false statements in order to purchase two .45 ACP pistols at a Cabela’s in Hazelwood, just outside of Ferguson, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.

Ali is the chairman of the St. Louis chapter of the New Black Panther Party.

NBC News reported that Ali and Muhammad are also suspected of trying to acquire pipe bombs that they planned to detonate in the event of a St. Louis County grand jury’s decision to refuse to indict Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of Michel Brown.

It would be interesting if Gov. Lester Maddox was still around to run riot squads.
He instructed his state troopers to "Shoot 'em down and stack'em up like cordwood" if demonstrators headed toward the Capitol Building. Word got out and the demonstrators stayed in the street.

I heard about this on the radio. Not a single report said they were Black Panthers. Hmmmm.
