He seems proud of a lot of things that most people wouldn't be proud of. As Decoy put it, "he's made an art out of validating himself". Apt as hell, that.

"Why not call themselves the new black Muslims? They only take our name because of their own personal exploitation, their own economic gain, pure and simple," said former Black Panther Party Chief of Staff David Hilliard.

The leader of the new group, whose full name is the New Black Panther Party for Self Defense, said he has a First Amendment right to the Panther name and its logo.

"Basically, this thing is out of jealousy, and we say that the torch must be passed," said New Black Panther Party Executive Director Malik Zulu Shabazz.

With the Black Panther name comes a long legacy. The Black Panthers of the earlier generation claimed to be the voice of poor African-Americans and led many of the charges for greater civil rights and liberties.

Along the way, however, they became better known as violent reactionaries, and many members were convicted of inciting riots and gunning down police officers.

The group tried to turn around its image before it disbanded in the early 1980s, focusing on community-based service programs.

The New Black Panthers seek some of the same goals as the old group, including economic and political equality for blacks in the United States. But they also have other agenda items, including slave reparations and the destruction of Israel and have offered a legal defense to alleged "20th hijacker" Zacarias Moussaoui.

that fucking sniper has struck again, it appears. he shot someone outside the home depot at a shopping center i know well. this is truly absurd. someone has to have seen something. this makes no sense. what's very strange about a shooting there is that there is very little cover to hide. it's a sea of asphalt surrounded by busy roads (routes 50 and 7, respectively) and other parking lots. strip mall hell, really. there has to have been a witness or two, this time.
(Mon Oct 14, 2002 - 10:24:12 pm)
Myk Murphy:
i see that they're closing off streets to catch the guy, but that will be hopeless. the area (and the shopping center) is known as "seven corners" because three major streets intersect and one starts there. the traffic patterns there are legendary, as are the traffic problems.
(Mon Oct 14, 2002 - 10:28:46 pm)
Myk Murphy:
and now, a high-speed pursuit down rte 50? shit. if it's the guy, he's probably headed west toward the beltway.
(Mon Oct 14, 2002 - 10:34:40 pm)
Myk Murphy:
correction, the van they were chasing was eastbound, probably toward the pentagon (and I-395 south) via washington blvd. or, plenty of small arlington roads where he could lay low.

hhhm there's a micheals craft store in "an adjacement parking lot". third time someone shot near a micheals craft.

Myk that's gotta be scary. Do you find yourself rushing to and from your car whenever you go anywhere?
(Mon Oct 14, 2002 - 10:46:52 pm)
Myk Murphy:
yeah, the michael's is just down the parking lot from it. if you were standing in the rather long parking lot (from the south side of it, looking north), you would see michael's, a couple of small shops, best buy (recently vacant due to relocation), a supermarket, and then home depot. home depot is accessible also via the north side of the shopping center, as well. that's the side that has easier access to route 50. of course, if this was close range, he may have been in the parking lot and then drove the "back way" through the lot to 50 east.

Just stay safe, ok

Myk Murphy:
kinda scary, until you think about the math odds. i hear that there are people too scared to go out, but i haven't noticed. today was a holiday for lots of people around here, and the roads were jammed in all directions. i drove all over northern VA today, and it was nuts.
(Mon Oct 14, 2002 - 10:50:59 pm)
Myk Murphy:
i thank you for your concern, q. despite myself, i look around a lot when getting gas. i always have done that, but now i look longer distances. but fear, no. it's sad that this one was another direct hit. she was shot in the head.

Myk Murphy:
looks like they're shutting down everything tonight. the beltway, major highways, everything. thanks to 9-11, the cops in all these jurisdictions are much better coordinated.
