Two men wearing Black Panthers attire were out and about today trying to influence voters. The men were spotted at a local polling place in Philadelphia where one was seen holding a night stick, according to Fox News.

The PoliGazette reports that citizens called the police and one of the Black Panthers was escorted from the scene (another was told to leave later), but not before a University of Pennsylvania "media guy" chatted up the guy. The Black Panther apparently didn’t understand why people were taking pictures of him or thought his presence out of the ordinary. The student explained: “I think it might be a little intimidating that you have a stick in your hand… That’s a weapon.” "Who are you to decide?" he replied.
 

He's so philosophical, and oh so right. A silly little weapon shouldn’t intimidate voters, right? A night stick can also double as a cute little baton or used to direct people to the door. He was just trying to help, that’s all.

Check out the how the convo went down:
