Surrounded by gun-toting members of the New Black Panther Party, Minister
Quanell X warned demonstrators outside the Huntsville, Texas death house
that there might be "civil unrest" if Gary Graham is executed Thursday
night.
Just moments before Minister X told demonstrators with children to leave the
scene, Graham's execution was temporarily put on hold.
The warning came as the Panther leader told Fox News Channel his entourage
was armed and its weapons were loaded:
"I asked the people to get out of the way because if civil unrest takes
place we don't want children to be trampled, children to be hurt. So I asked
for anyone with children present to take the children away from the
confrontational lines."
When asked if his Panther entourage was armed, Minister X said, "You know, I
saw the Ku Klux Klan. They were riding in a bus behind us. And they were
armed. You're damned right, we're armed."
Asked if the group's guns were loaded, Quanell X said, "No wise general
would come before the whole world and divulge all of his strategic plans to
the world. But I would have to be a damned fool to allow men to come up here
with empty guns."
Last Friday Quanell X led 15 AK-47 toting Panthers clad in black
paramilitary gear in a march on the Texas state GOP convention in the heart
of downtown Houston.
Tonight, the Panther leader said he didn't know how the protesters would
react to Graham's execution, but added, "Whatever happens here, you can't
blame anybody here. You have to blame (GOP presidential candidate) George
Bush. You have to blame a wicked criminal justice system."
It appeared that Minister X was unaware of the temporary halt in Graham's
execution as he issued his warnings. Just minutes earlier word from Gov.
Bush's office announced that Graham's lawyer had filed a civil suit against
the Texas State Bureau of Pardons and Paroles, which could interrupt the
execution for up to thirty days.
After Minister X spoke to reporters, the gun-toting Panthers attempted to
circle the Huntsville prison facility, in what many feared was an attempt to
confront a group of pro-death penalty Ku Klux Klan demonstrators nearby.
But the Panthers soon returned to their vehicles and any violent
confrontation was averted for the moment.
