Loss of life or liberty for partisan politics is always unacceptable, whatever the cause;
As a 'safety creator', I have an affinity for citizen mobilization, everything from my volunteer safety escorts to subtle neighborhood watch, up to legally armed street patrols in the Black community, and elsewhere too.
This affinity comes with guardrails, especially when it appears an outside ideology is the mobilization's beneficiary, instead of securing the community.
While interested in the rise of Paul Birdsong, chairman of the newly-renamed 'Black Lion Party For International Solidarity,' my concern is apparent all-out leftist recruitment of aggressive Black foot soldiers to further its ideological war against the political right.
I hope he's not part of a concerted effort to put often armed Black bodies on the line for mass migration, a policy that doesn't benefit our community.
Here's his view on the topic of, 'Do Black Panthers Care About the Immigrants (YouTube)
Politically, I know progressive plotters and prognosticators would love a high profile battle between armed Black protesters and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) personnel.
They project it would be a shot in the arm of a Black base that's sitting out public demonstrations over deportation.
It's also anticipated such a trending tragedy would drive energized Black voters to the polls, especially young ones who are disinterested or openly dissent with the Democratic Party's present platform.
I don't want to see our armed activists become cannon fodder for the 'pale politburo,' as I sometimes call leftist leadership.
Congressional midterm elections are nearing and the stakes for who will control the US House of Representatives and Senate are very high.
A resurgence of first wave Black Panther-style armed activism would definitely benefit the left and even conservatives who will likely denounce such Second Amendment formations outside of their party.
Who wouldn't benefit are those same aggressive Black foot soldiers the left really wants in its ideological war.
I don't want to see any community members killed, wounded or imprisoned to make leftists far removed from us a stronger political occupier.
Members of the 'non left' in other communities undoubtedly feel the same way while watching politicized peers surveil and confront DHS personnel in the field.
Loss of life or liberty for partisan politics is always unacceptable, whatever the cause.
