PHILADELPHIA - Fox 29 News spotted Tuesday a member of the New Black Panther Party standing outside of a local polling place where voter intimidation was reported two years ago.

The man was seen outside the polling place in North Philadelphia was wearing a pin that indicated his party affiliation, along with a black hat, sunglasses and leather coat.

In footage obtained by Fox News back in 2008, two members of the New Black Panther Party stood outside the same polling place shaking a Billy club and allegedly intimidating voters.

--SNIP-- The man seen at the same polling place Tuesday would not answer questions posed by Fox 29 News but was apparently working at the polls as a volunteer and greeting voters.

A check with Philadelphia election officials revealed no voter intimidation reports at the polling location this time.

Skinny dude isn’t likely to scare anyone away. Maybe he can play basketball with Obama after they’re both unemployed.

How much guts does it take to intimidate voters in N. Philly, where 99 % of the voters will pull the lever for a Dem anyway. I’d like to see this coward try this in a polling place located in some conservative enclave in say, GA or TX where the good ol’ boys in their pickups are pulling into the the parking lot to vote.

Hopefully a Patriot with time on their hands will take it upon themselves to stand there with him all day....

I view this as an incentive to vote at that poll, not a deterrent.

Is he a REAL ‘New Black Panther’ party member?

Or is he just still wearing his Halloween Costume?

WWE shirts are not allowed but a “pin that indicated his party affiliation” is?

He’s a Black Panther? Looks more like one of the Funk Brothers waiting for a jitney ride to his next gig.

I'm pretty sure I could have him throwing punches at me in no time at all.

If he were at my polling place, I would go stand next to him and welcome voters. I would be giving out “High fives, fist bumps...” and celebrating people exercising their right to vote. I would be a ray of sunshine next to sower puss.
