Mental Note: Link Black Panther Free Lunch Program, OWS Infrastructure
by Mike Konczal
...why did [J. Edgar] Hoover find the breakfasts so worrisome?  Is it because, as the ethnographic literature tells us, participation often proceeds beliefs – and participating in this unconditional welfare state creates the belief that it is a deserved human right?  And did Occupy’s unconditional care infrastructure propose a similar type of challenge?  Mental note: need to think more about this.  Your thoughts?

So the Black Panthers feed the little childrens when they aren't at polling placing with weapons to intimidate voters? Man, that's such a heart-warming story, I could almost cry. LOL!

Wait until the food stamps stop, and then we can see the real deal, and I don't think the Black Panthers will be serving people at food lines. Wolves in sheep's clothing comes to mind, but then again I know history.
