Now that is a coincidence, TomK, as about 30 minutes after viewing this picture, I was convicted of two counts of….oh.

Another instance of “funny timing”: I am a deputy court clerk for King County Superior Court and today, not half an hour after seeing this photo, I processed sentencing documents for someone convicted of 2 counts of “Display of a weapon to intimidate”! So I gather the Panthers’ protest was not successful.

What funny timing for me for this photo! My mom was just telling me a story about walking through the U. District in 1969 and a Black Panther handed her a flyer, trying to engage her in conversation. She said he was really intelligent but she was rather intimidated by him, as he towered over her. I can now put an image to this story!
