We. Will. Not. Be. Intimidated.

UPDATE BELOW!

First, please watch the embedded video.

Take it in.

Breathe.

We can hear you saying, "Wow! That's supremely fucked up."

Unfortunately, it seems that nothing goes smoothly during election season. Men with night sticks, ominous dudes who look like Secret Service agents, and various people standing out in front of a polling place at 1221 Fairmount Avenue.

Actionable? Certainly.

This poor media member was so intimidated that you could hear it in his voice. And why wouldn't you be? There are two big dudes pacing back and forth with billy clubs looking like revolutionaries.

This is precisely the type of thing that cannot happen on election day at a polling place.

You might be able to try and intimidate us, but you will never silence our voice!

GET OUT AND VOTE!!

UPDATE: 5:00 PM: Justice. Is. Served.

The ominous figures outside of 1221 Fairmount Avenue have been asked to leave by the Philadelphia Police.

They gave a good 'ole Brett Myers style "Boom. Outta here" to those fools. Although, one of them was permitted to stay as he had a poll watchers' certificate. Video of the sequel is here.

Thanks to Neil from Gothamist for alerting us to the video!
