Home Front: WoT
Black Panthers Indicted On Federal Gun Charges, Pipe Bomb Plot Near Ferguson
2014-11-22
Moved to Home Front: WoT -- New Black Panthers are a terrorist group. AoS
[Daily Caller] 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.
He's got 'priors' for drugs and five felony convictions as well Larry. No problem, I'll go over assembly-disassembly a few more times. Call the Police and reset the security cams.

#13  The Capitol Dome is undergoing repairs and really isn't a good photogenic spot for the Sotu address, also difficult to secure.
There's a Hampton Inn down the road that has conference rooms.

#12  Bought two pistols at Cabalas and talked about pipe bombs? Sounds like a story from the Rab with a zip gun and 5 rounds of ammunition.

As I recall these guys trade in H and Armory ripoffs. Any org that isn't nicely stocked with grenades and mortars loses their charter.

I'm waiting to read about how a firetruck brought in to hose down the crowd was actually filled with gasoline.

#11  Sometimes the question is not "are you paranoid?", but "are you paranoid enough?"

Permit me to suggest the targets, in no particular order, are
1) legitimate gun dealers like Cabela's
2) the need to appear to do *something* about Ferguson
3) violent right-wing tea-party extremists

The fact that coming down on the NBP only increases black rage in Ferguson is just gravy on the cake.

#9  badanov, you presume that the NBP is perceived as a threat rather than an ally.

Hence my paranoia that this is a manufactured event to cover for or provide motivation for something bigger. I've learned a lot about conspiracy theories listening to the lefties for the last 13 years.

Given their habits of projection I feel that it's probable that they thought of all those GWB theories because that's the way they think.

If they're trying to instigate a major riot with trimmings that would allow serious crack-downs on any "right-wing" terrorists it would not surprise me nearly as much as it should.

Paranoia has rotted my brain vis a vis this cabal.

#8  Not paranoid.

Federal snitches are a cheap way of eliminating a perceived threat.

Create a crime.

Get the presumed suspect to break or assent to breaking the law, without actually breaking it.

Then bust him/her and proclaim some threat was eliminated by the brave and resourceful government agents. We all applaud at the violent crime government agents themselves have created, but yet, somehow, prevented.

And as others have noted, if the suspects were already criminal Cabela's would be the last place they'd go to get a gun. And if the suspects had a criminal background, they could have (and should have) gotten guns from a private source.

This type of thing was played out when a preacher in Florida got arrested for all sorts of terrorist crimes a few weeks ago, including making "straw purchases". When the search warrant return was filed, very little evidence of the allegation was found.

All done with a snitch working for pay for the government.

#7   I would have went somewhere besides Cabelas

Unless smearing a legitimate business was part of the Fed plan. Yeah, I'm as paranoid as badanov and rather surprised the NBPs got charged given their Most Favored Thug status under Holder's DOJ. Of course, charged and convicted are two different things.

#6  I bet half those guys involved in the alleged conspiracy are federal snitches who conceived the crime.

#5  49 Pan, is this the decoy receiver that allows the other guy to run free? What other plans are being made that this is cover for?

#4  Holder was/is a Black Panther. Look like his protégé did not think the FBI would check. He was betrayed by one of his own.

#3  Same party that did the Non-Intimidation in Philly at the polling places - that Holder declined to prosecute or even investigate?

#2  Yea, O-l-a-j-u-w-on Ali. One 'O' an 'A, U, and W, then 'on.' I'm from Herman, Mo. We Germans hunt deer with pistols down there.

#1  I believe I would have went somewhere besides Cabelas too purchase weapons for a terrorist plot. Being a five time felon you would think he would know someone on the streets to get weapons.
