Tell us more about Panthers

Regarding Mr. Turner's letter, "What about the Black Panthers?" I must agree with him about the lack of coverage in the recent developments in the case. We subscribe to your paper and watched daily to see if it was going to be covered. It was not.

Voter intimidation is always a huge story and there was videotape and there were witnesses who testified to the racial slurs and threats by the New Black Panther party. A voting rights attorney with the Department of Justice resigned from his top-paying government job because he couldn't abide by the dismissal of the case involving New Black Panther members wearing paramilitary garb and one standing at the entrance hurling racial slurs and brandishing a police-type baton.

The attorney said there was pressure over and over again not to pursue cases where the defendants were black and the victims were white.

The case was won and yet the administration dismissed the case against three of the Black Panthers and filed a laughable injunction against the one with the baton. The injunction: for him to not display a deadly weapon within 100 feet of any polling location in Philadelphia until Nov. 15, 2012.

Equal enforcement of justice isn't high on the list of this administration. Holder should be fired. Racism is ugly.
