Fred Hampton Assasinated 50 Years Ago

I missed posting this yesterday. This is the reason I support the 2nd Amendment. Before Ruby Ridge, before Waco, this atrocity took place.

However if this fred were still alive im sure he would be trying to take your guns. He was a socialist and a trouble maker!
Seems to me this fred hampton had his loud mouth shut for him.

I also support the 1st Amendment. But it seems you don't, or you think it's OK for the govt. to assassinate those who do speak up.

please note that blatant racism was still in effect during this period.

I've always wondered how the coinintel program got exposed as it was a very secret illegal program.

the drugging and assassination of fred hampton really crossed the line of justice.

90 bullets vs. 1 shotgun shell. well played...

why did the police shoot him instead of arresting him while he was sleeping? he wasn't a threat, its because they wanted to. He was black and a black panther. a threat to their order.

2nd amendment wasn't a factor in this. it won't protect a person from a people determined to kill you.

It was a different world 50 years ago. I remember colored water fountains and segregation .

No excuse for government assassination - even of violence adherents such as the BPP.

A black panther socialist and chicago politics.

That says it all

Hampton's effective leadership and talent for communication marked him as a major threat to the FBI. It began keeping close tabs on his activities. Investigations have shown that FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover was determined to prevent the formation of a cohesive Black movement in the United States. Hoover believed the Panthers, Young Patriots, Young Lords, and similar radical coalitions Hampton forged in Chicago were a stepping stone to the rise of a revolution that could threaten the U.S. government and society.--quote off the wiki link above

The fraud fred was trying to combine and organize the gangs for a revolution.
Anyone ever see the 70's movie " Warriors"

One of my favorite movies. My problem with "gangs" of any color, is not what they say, it's what they do. If the leader of a "gang" incites violence with his words he should be arrested and charged, letting a jury decide if his words mean his removal from society. Assassination should not be a remedy for speech we don't like as long as it does not call for violence.


But I guess we have come along way when the Obama administration was not interested in a Black Panther in uniform was standing in front of a polling place with a billy club in hand. He should have been arrested on the spot. I have no knowledge of Fred but if he was shot in his bed, unarmed and not resisting, then law enforcement became the "gang" on that day.


If asked the one thing I would like to see from our government, is the "removal" of all violent gangs in America. It's my number one priority because it hurts the poorest among us and they have enough to deal with without worrying about their kids being shot on the streets of Chicago and other urban communities in this country

I love how you left this part of the Wiki article out: Through his involvement with the NAACP, Hampton hoped to achieve social change through community organizing and nonviolent activism... Over the next year, Hampton and his associates made a number of significant achievements in Chicago. Perhaps his most important was his brokering of a nonaggression pact among Chicago's most powerful street gangs. Emphasizing that racial and ethnic conflict among gangs would only keep its members entrenched in poverty, Hampton strove to forge a class-conscious, multiracial alliance among the BPP, the Young Patriots Organization, and the Young Lords under Jose Cha Cha Jimenez's leadership.


Of course Hoover and apparently you want to keep Blacks disorganized & fighting amongst themselves. Unity & peace was the threat, not roving gangs killing each other. MLK wanted the same, and he was a threat to Hoover too.

One thing I have learneds about this here forum is that yous can always find the same two or three buggers posting in a thread about ethnicities, like the beauty queens above me. Figure it out, Dicksy!

Thanks for the usual non-contributory BS, YR
It was a serious topic until YR showed up.
