http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/0 ... f=politicsNew Black Panther Was 'Pleasant To Speak With,' Says Poll Watcher
WASHINGTON -- The New Black Panther Party member who stood in front of a single Philadelphia polling station on Election Day, and drew a disproportionate amount of critical attention from conservative media, was "nonthreatening" and "relatively pleasant to speak with," said a retired military intelligence officer who investigated the man.
"What we observed was absolutely nonthreatening, nonbelligerent, and non-intimidating," Kerry Patton told The Huffington Post on Thursday. Patton looked into the reports of a man in "semi-military" garb that seized headlines on Fox News on Tuesday and have continued this week.
On Wednesday night, Fox's Sean Hannity returned to video clips of the man, identified by the network as a New Black Panther Party (NBPP) member named Jerry Jackson, calling them "new disturbing examples of voter intimidation" and interviewing former presidential candidate Herman Cain about the tactic.
But Patton, who had observed Jackson repeatedly on Election Day, occasionally concealed by the bushes across the street, and eventually had a conversation with him, said the idea that the man was intimidating voters was a mischaracterization of what happened.
"The uniformed NBPP member was nonthreatening," he told HuffPost. "In fact, he was actually relatively pleasant to speak with -- willing to participate in some, let's just say, 'small talk.'"
