Bond set for New Black Panther leader in weapons case
Bond has been set at $10,000 for a high-ranking member of the New Black Panther Party who is jailed in DeKalb County on a weapons charge, authorities said.
Hashim Nzinga, 49, had a first appearance hearing Tuesday morning after his arrest for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, according to the DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office.
Nzinga recently announced on CNN that his group was offering a $10,000 reward for the capture of George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Fla. CNN identified Nzinga as the chief of staff of the New Black Panther Party.
According to a DeKalb arrest warrant, Nzinga was in possession of an FN Herstal 5.7 x 28 handgun, which investigators said he pawned at a shop on Rockbridge Road. That alleged transaction would be illegal due to Nzinga’s convictions last month for felony deposit account fraud in Gwinnett County, the DeKalb Sheriff’s Office said.
The Herstal 5.7 x 28 is a semi-automatic handgun that can hold 20 rounds. It was the same type of gun used by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan in the Fort Hood shootings in which 11 people were killed in November 2009.

What?
I thought felons are not allowed to own guns.
Hey, have all you gun control law advocates seen this. A felon had a gun. How come your law didn’t keep this felon from having a gun?
Is it because laws only come into effect after they have been discovered to be broken?
Good job! The only people denied guns by your laws are the law abiding citizens. Criminals didn’t pay any attention to your law.
Death to islam and big government!

“Now when do we charge the rest of the Panthers on conspiracy to commit the murder of George Zimmerman?”
Congress and the doj will do that right after they finish investigating obamas “natural born citizenship” claim.

I was raised in Dekalb County back in the day when it was a white suburb of Atkanta.
It has been destroyed because of white flight to Gwinnett (and that county is fighting to stay clean as long as they keep MARTA rail and bus lines out)and other areas OTP.
Dekalb County….home of Cynthia McKinney, the Indigo Girls, and nigger-sprawl.
yes I said nigger, so sue me if you can.

I wonder why the leader, Malik or whatever his name is has not been arrested for his mouth or threats to others and offering a bounty on the life of a man who is convictec of nothing.
I hope the childs mother and father make lots of money on this one. As much crap as they have put out they deserve it.

I’ll bet someone with ties to Obama pays his bail.
How about sedition? Or threatening civil disobediance or violence on someone else based on their skin color…definition of a hate crime?
