POSTPONED - New Black Panthers organize town hall meeting in Silsbee

[thetragichippy]

The New Black Panthers have scheduled a town hall meeting Thursday night in Silsbee and say they want to hear from people who believe they've been mistreated by the Lumberton Police Department.

Monday the New Black Panthers organized a demonstration outside the Lumberton Police Department to protest the death of Kevin LaDay, 35. LaDay's family contends he was beaten by two officers prior to his death Thursday, April 30, an allegation the police chief and other law enforcement officers strongly deny.  Many of the people who attended the rally came to show their support for the department.

The officers were called to investigate a car in a ditch off Highway 96 near the Village Creek Nursing Center and say they saw LaDay walking near the area. The police chief says the officers were trying to conduct a field sobriety test when LaDay ran away. The chief says there was a struggle and officers had to use a Taser at least once. The chief says LaDay appeared to be okay after the officers were able to handcuff him but he lost consciousness and died at a hospital. An autopsy report is pending toxicology results.  The chief says officers acted properly in the way they handled the situation and he expects the investigation and the autopsy report to vindicate them.

Thursday's meeting is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at the Masonic Lodge at MLK and 15th Street in Silsbee.

Probably couldn't get a rental in Lumberton. People are nervous there already.

[Lazeek]

Why should they be nervous..............they or the LPD at this point have done nothing wrong.

After threatening to tear down the town (which they could not do), they didn't make a lot of friends in Lumberton.  I think they will be safer in Silsbee until they make them mad.

We don't want them either. Let'em meet at the Court House in Kountze.

Bluedove you seem like a educated person. That you made your own destiny and provide for your family like a lot of us have. Am I somewhat correct? QX is exactly what is wrong with this country and I mean all races. Not because he is black. I can't stand the kkk or white supremacist. This guy is wealthy because he is a good saleman nothing more. He does not care about the black people, only their donations. He goes to lumberton, next thing you know he is selling his story to a tabloid. It is all about money my friend and he knows how to manipulate the system and the people especially his own race. As far as Lumberton being nervous. I don't think so. QX is not a pimple on MLK butt. MLK fought for the people. QX is about QX.

[PoppaBearstarr]

Well said Bleed.

Why do you have to qualify that you hate the KKK or similar groups? If you or anyone else told me you were a member of the KKK, I would still hold a conversation with you. I would just tell you "see you later" while you go to your meeting."  But you have a right to your opinions and I respect it. As far as QX, I understand why they are doing this and I have to admit he is doing a good job at what he does. He has us tweaking the issues of race which is good to do sometimes. Do I agree with him about burning Lumberton? No! Do I think he will? No! In fact, I think his words were for effect only. He's doing a good job. Many of us are talking about the drama unfolding in Hardin County right now. But we need to stay focused and remember why all of this is taking place. Let us hope that justice didnot go astray as it has in so many other situations.

Yeah, he's doing a great job alright, if his job is to accuse police officers of wrong-doing based on nothing more than a whim with absolutely no evidence to support it, and then threaten to tear down the city those officers serve when things don't go his way.

[tvc184]

I suppose that Hitler did okay because he was good at what he did.

Being good at what you do hardly qualfies someone as being honorable or noble in your pursuits. I never saw MLK make false accusations in order to grab headlines. I have witnessed it from QX. I guess that makes him good at what he does and that is to stir up trouble in the name of racial hatred.

While discussing racial issues may lead to better world, I don't see how his making outright and easily proven lies and then threats to tear up a white town helps the black community. Maybe someone with more intellect can explain that to me.

What he does is to stir up anger in other communities that may have otherwise been sympathetic to some of his causes. But that is what he wants, not understanding but controversy.

[baddog]

bleed orange, you said a mouthful when you said he is manipulating the system. That is totally what this situation is....manipulation. This is why I suggested that no one attend this meeting. Take away the microphones and reporters, you take away his strength.

Good post tvc.

I would also have a conversation with you and no matter if we disagreed or not I know we would leave our conversation with a mutual respect for one another. In response to why I have to qualify,maybe because most whites are assumed to be racist and I for one am tired of it. According to QX we all are. That is simply not the case. There are racist in all ethnic groups. But as you know there are a lot good people out there, more than bad. QX has an agenda and it is motivated by money. He should have waited till all the facts came out before he addressed the issue. There is a old saying, make sure your brains are loaded before you shoot off your mouth. I too hope justice did not go astray, but I will never agree with QX. I promise you MLK is looking down and disappointed that his message is not being portrayed in the manner he would have liked but he is also smiling because things have changed and he did make a difference. I never used the word hate. I just choose as an American citizen not to recognize organizations or groups who spread hatred.

Well said.  Hitler could get us all into tweaking the issue of race, it wouldn't mean that he's a good person.

I have a question dove, so is it a done deal already, if nothing happens then its justice has gone a stray, or if they find no wrong doing, this will not be an issue. In all fairness I  do think that if there was any wrong doing, I and others know that justice wil be served. But again what if there was no wrong doing, then what.

Then, Quanell X tears down the city of Lumberton because "justice wasn't served."
