An anti-Muslim group who regularly conducts armed protests at mosques to intimidate worshippers got an unexpected surprise this Saturday, when an armed faction of the Black Panthers were there to greet them in Texas, according to the Dallas Morning News.

“This is an armed defense maneuver, making sure that our communities are safe and secure from any insurgents coming in,” Krystal Muhammad of the New Black Panther Party, who was armed with a shotgun, told Fox4. “We won’t allow anybody to come in and try to intimidate our brothers and sisters.”

The Bureau of American Islamic Relations (BAIR) made news stalking Muslims in Irving back in November, and in December, they targeted Muslims at the Islamic Association of North Texas....

Soon after, BAIR left without incident.

Buck-buck-BRAWWK!

1. All Americans are endowed with the power of the Holy 2A and the Holy Gunz

Good Guys with Holy Gunz are the answer to all our problems.

yup

[friendly_iconoclast]

11. In this case, armed men and women were certainly the answer to the BAIR bigots

[jpak]

14. Yes, the Well Regulated Militia (vigilantes) triumphed over the Armed Bigots (vigilantes)

Holy Gunz Uber Alles

yup

[friendly_iconoclast]

15. What 'vigilantes'? No one was subjected to extrajudicial punishment.

True, the BAIR assholes probably all have a sad that their demo got derailed-
but that's not exactly punishment...

[jpak]

17. No one had to - an Armed Society is a Polite Society

see?

Holy Gunz Uber Alles

yup

[friendly_iconoclast]

21. Your use of eye speech is mildly amusing. Your lack of political efficacy is even funnier...

[jpak]

23. and the Gun Nutz still suck

yup

[friendly_iconoclast]

24. That 'heckling from the sidelines' thing hasn't actually accomplished anything for you lot, has it?

Have a cookie, you'll feel better:

[jpak]

25. take some yoga breaths and calm you ass down - nervous little bird

[TipTok]

2. Are you disappointed that no blood was shed...

... In the pursuit of who is the most holy?

[KamaAina]

3. Nope, just enjoying the ammosexuals getting a taste of their own medicine.

[friendly_iconoclast]

6. In your own words, what are "ammosexuals" And why are you using a homophobic term at DU?

[KamaAina]

7. Those who use guns as penile extensions. And what makes you think it's homophobic?

It could just as easily be derived from "heterosexual" as "homosexual".

[friendly_iconoclast]

9. Would the use of the term "ammophobe" be likewise acceptable to you?

Think of it as an analog to "Islamophobe", which the BAIR dickheads certainly qualify as...

I'll even use it in a sentence, so as to demonstrate proper use:

"I've yet to hear an ammophobic poster announce that they personally appeared unarmed
to counterprotest armed Islamophobes"


I find it a fitting moniker for those whose reactions to firearms are visceral and overly emotional.

[Bangbangdem]

26. Hahaha!

Classic!

[840high]

22. I was not amused by either group.

[KamaAina]

28. Nice post, Queen Victoria!

[840high]

31. ...

Thank you Princess.

[Kingofalldems]

4. I didn't sense any disappointment from the post.

Odd you would even bring it up.

[TipTok]

5. You of all people...

... Should understand how tone and subtlety can be lost in a written medium.

[iandhr]

8. While the people who protest with guns at places of warship are horrific people...

... so are the nation of Islam.

And the New Black Panthers.

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/new-black-panther-party


"but principals of the original Black Panther Party of the 1960s and 1970s— a militant, but non-racist, left-wing organization — have rejected the new Panthers as a "black racist hate group" and contested their hijacking of the Panther name and symbol."

[friendly_iconoclast]

10. In this case, they were entirely within their rights

There are no niceness clauses in the Constitution.

[iandhr]

12. I am not questioning that.

I was just pointing out in this case both sides are scumbags.

But the constitution does protect the rights of scumbags.

[friendly_iconoclast]

13. "But the constitution does protect scumbags." True, and people tend to forget that

[azureblue]

16. so therefor you support

the right to go intimidate worshipers. How KKK of you..

[friendly_iconoclast]

20. Not a bit, I simply refuse to apply situational ethics to civil rights

Thinking like yours got us the Patriot Act- I no more support the BAIR homophobes than I support Illinois Nazis or rapist career criminals:

https://www.aclu.org/aclu-history-taking-stand-free-speech-skokie

In 1978, the ACLU took a controversial stand for free speech by defending a neo-Nazi group that wanted to march through the Chicago suburb of Skokie , where many Holocaust survivors lived. The notoriety of the case caused some ACLU members to resign, but to many others the case has come to represent the ACLU's unwavering commitment to principle. In fact, many of the laws the ACLU cited to defend the group's right to free speech and assembly were the same laws it had invoked during the Civil Rights era, when Southern cities tried to shut down civil rights marches with similar claims about the violence and disruption the protests would cause. Although the ACLU prevailed in its free speech arguments, the neo-Nazi group never marched through Skokie, instead agreeing to stage a rally at Federal Plaza in downtown Chicago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miranda_v._Arizona

Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436 (1966), was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court. In a 5-4 majority, the Court held that both inculpatory and exculpatory statements made in response to interrogation by a defendant in police custody will be admissible at trial only if the prosecution can show that the defendant was informed of the right to consult with an attorney before and during questioning and of the right against self-incrimination before police questioning, and that the defendant not only understood these rights, but voluntarily waived them.

This had a significant impact on law enforcement in the United States, by making what became known as the Miranda rights part of routine police procedure to ensure that suspects were informed of their rights. The Supreme Court decided Miranda with three other consolidated cases: Westover v. United States, Vignera v. New York, and California v. Stewart.

34. No downside

Two hate groups butting heads in a pissing contest big deal !

Time to cue Monty Pythons "and now for something completely different"

[Victor_c3]

18. Sounds good to me

Give the open carry people a taste of their own medicine. Like with a bully as a kid, sometimes you need to fight back - even if its what they tell you not to do at school.

I don't have a taste for violence, but I can stomach it if I need to (I've been in numerous firefights).

[meow2u3]

19. The ammosexual were exposed as the cowards they really are

They prefer to intimidate unarmed blacks. So much for white supremacy.

[passiveporcupine]

27. I love that girl. What breed is she?

the chicken, the chicken.

[KamaAina]

29. No clue. I just went with a pic of a white chicken.

[passiveporcupine]

33. I figured that

I'm just a nut about chickens. She looks like a Delaware.

[KamaAina]

36. Wouldn't a Delaware hen be blue?

[passiveporcupine]

37. She might be blue under that pretty white feather coat.

30. wild wild west all over again

[hollowdweller]

32. Good to see the tables turned.

I can see a day when we have some sort of situation where the dems win and the GOP with guns refuses to accept it. Rather than trying to steal the election by stealth or remove the nominee by impeachment they will go for armed intimidation.

When that day comes I don't want just 1 side to have all the guns.
