In January, the Justice Department filed a civil complaint in Philadelphia against the NBPP after two of its members in black berets, black combat boots, black shirts and black jackets purportedly intimidated voters with racial insults, slurs and a nightstick. A third party member was accused of managing, directing and endorsing their behavior. The incident was captured on videotape.
Four months later, the Justice Department dropped the charges because, it said, "the facts and the law did not support pursuing" them.[snip]
Among the documents being sought are witness statements, copies of any investigation conducted by the Justice Department, reports of suspected voting intimidation, all documents that influenced the decision to drop three of the defendants as parties to the case, and documents regarding communications by Mrs. King, Mr. Perrelli and Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. relating to the case.
Guess they'll be lawyering up--those who are left.
P.S. (Who are these guys?):
You may well ask--who is the New Black Panther Party?
From Michelle Malkin in 2006, the time of the cartoon jihad. Here's part of her post:
I’m headed down to Washington, D.C., this afternoon to cover the New Black Panther Party’s protest at the Danish embassy:
Speakers Include: Attorney Malik Zulu Shabazz, Imam Akbar Bilal, Imam Abdul Alim Musa, Imam Mohammed Asi, Hodari Abdul Ali, and other community and Muslim leaders who will speak in solidarity with the worldwide Muslim Ummah (Community) that is fighting against the intentional debased attack by the Danish and western peoples against Islam. The participants recognize this as an escalation in the American-European War against Islam and the Muslims.
Sponsored by a coalition of Muslim groups and the New Black Panther Party.
Given recent events in Chicago, what next?
