Re : What did Bobbie say and when did he say it.

I wrote that I thought that Bobbie Seale had said "Up against the wall,
motherfuckers, we've come for what's ours"..NOT..."this is a stickup'."

Can't argue with that memory! I wonder if my version comes from Newsreels
"Black Panther" film"? Or did it just come from my own head? Back then I
might have thought "we've come for what's ours" was a good addition to
the old stickup mans command? Hmmm, how else have I changed history???
