Black Panthers say new group sullying name
The marquee quote:

Original Panther co-founder Bobby Seale, who recently moved back to Oakland from Philadelphia, said the New Panthers are made up of "xenophobic idiots" with a religious agenda.

"They're a bunch of idiot extremists in the same way that a racist Ku Klux Klan and a racist Nazi is," he said.

I think the "Black Fist" would get similar analysis from Mr. Seale.

Appeals court rejects Cincinnati's appeal of drug zone ruling
Ends don't justify the mean is the old saying. Labeling a sub-region of the city has the purpose of rooting out crime, but in the process it forever furthers to solidify Over-the-Rhine as the "drug zone" for the city.

Above and beyond that issue is the issue of due process. Additional punishment for crimes not directly administered by a court is what I call a legal problem.

Flag dragged, but no arrests made this time
When you are not taunting, intimidating, and threatening people, you generally do not get arrested. If the boycotters did this at Oktoberfest, they would not have been arrested. They want confrontation. They want to provoke people. They want attention to their bigoted agenda. The oddest thing that still bugs me is the issue of the “video”. The article stated "One of the protesters did just that a few hours later at the demonstration in front of the courthouse," referring to the judge’s suggestion to police of video taping the protest. I observed the same thing at the September 20th protests downtown. Where is the videotape of the Oktoberfest protest? Why are the protestors not rolling out the video of the alleged beer throwing and "N" word spouting white people at the downtown festival? These claims were made in bold fashion and they could be supported in similar style by releasing video to support the claims of the CJC press releases. They could even put unedited video on the web, avoiding fears of media bias. Why have we not seen this video yet? If there is no video from boycotters, then why did they not record it? They tape everything else, but they skipped their biggest chance to catch the results of their provocations on tape? I do not think so. The only logical conclusion: the tape does not support their claims. Truth is not the friend of racists and bigots, and that is why the boycotters do not try and use it.

BRONSON: Religious freedom
When a religious bigot claims there is no religious bigotry towards any religion except his, do not believe him.

Charge of disrupting meeting is dropped
Since when does disrupting a meeting have to mean the meeting could not continue? A disruption is an interruption that causes the meeting to stop, unable to function. The meeting can then continue once the disruption ends. In this case the person was arrested and the meeting was able to continue. The compliant indicated she disrupted the event but the charge is disturbing. Here is the law Ms. Watts was charged with:

§ 2917.12 Disturbing a lawful meeting.
Text of Statute
(A) No person, with purpose to prevent or disrupt a lawful meeting, procession, or gathering, shall do either of the following:
(1) Do any act which obstructs or interferes with the due conduct of such meeting, procession, or gathering;
(2) Make any utterance, gesture, or display which outrages the sensibilities of the group.
(B) Whoever violates this section is guilty of disturbing a lawful meeting, a misdemeanor of the fourth degree.

Based on the TV footage I think this woman was guilty. This sounds like either a misinterpretation of the law, or a bit of judicial nullification.

Protester picked up again
How much are people like Terry Summers influenced by Jay Love's Monday radio stunt? This stunt may turn into Jay's permanent shtick, which might just add a little push to another fanatic. If Jay wants to compete with Bill Cunningham by fighting fire with fire, or in this case acting with acting, I think he will need a bigger stage. Instead I believe Jay should stick with a honest opinion, not role playing.

Godless Americans March On Washington, Nov 2, 2002
I am sure the theists in the area are all about to pop a blood vessel. If I had the time I would be going.
