WFTV has learned charges against George Zimmerman could be getting more serious.
State prosecutors said Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman, profiled and stalked 17-year-old Trayvon Martin before killing him, so the FBI is now looking into charging him with a hate crime.

“What the government would have to prove is that Mr. Zimmerman acted out of hatred toward African-Americans. That's why he came into contact with him. That's why he shot and killed him," Sheaffer said.
--------------------------------------------------
That might be a tall order, because they would have to explain how, despite Zimmerman's volunteering to mentor underprivileged, i.e., black kids, he harbored all this hatred toward blacks. If the feds go through with this, it will be a huge and egregious waste of taxpayer money.
wasn’t there ant article a couple weeks back stating that Zimmerman’s Grandfather or great Grandfather was black on his mother’s side
Nothing matter’s as long as obama is re-elected.
the left is willing to throw anyone under the bus for that.
So why don’t they do something useful like investigating the Dept of Justice and ATF running guns?
I’m losing all respect for these people. How many race hate crimes have we seen in the past few weeks and they’ve done nothing! FBI is nothing more than the political police.
Well this will go on until Obama is DEFEATED and HE WILL BE. He seal his election last week. ONE AND DONE.
The hate crime charge threat is purely political. They have zero evidence of that.
I always call the cops first when I’m getting ready to stalk someone.
Should be WTF TV

Yep. The work hours wasted by this administration in harassing citizens instead of providing authentic security are legion.
Thanks for being on top of this.
The charge in the end will be lying to the FBI. This is their usual last stand when they have nothing else. They are political animals not real cops.
Would like to tell a story of first hand experience when speaking on the phone with a present day FBI agent within the past year or two. A little background ... Was receiving calls at my location. The calls were from outside the country and were scam related. Called to inform the FBI. Was told by the agent the numbers were changed nearly everyday by the scammers, and the calls were from outside the country, thus no jurisdication and there was nothing which could be done. Noticed on the tele, last night, where an FBI agent was speaking to the press (locally). Speaking of the Incompetan0 if you see something, say something campaign, and speaking of the dollar amounts being taking via scams from America (16 billion last year reported) and that billboards had been erected in several states where the scams were prevalent. It was a warning ... nothing more ... and though was not stated, the policy is ... If you see something, say something, so we (who are in charge) can know you called while we (the FBI and your government) do nothing. Kind of made me laugh nervously.
Politics. Pure and simple. Feel better give us a call was the FBI agent's message. Dear FBI, not feeling better out here, after knowing what was told on the phone when I called.
Well,there goes the White-Hispanic vote!
Ah, I checked to see if already posted, but guess I didn’t look far enough back.
Reason #5,842 to flush those two turds,Osama Obama and Holder,down the toilet in November.
And it would be an even bigger waste of Zimmerman's money, which is the means to the end -- don't investigate suspicious people, don't dare to challenge a low-class black criminal, don't fight back, and don't own a gun or use it.
We all knew the Feds would jump on this as well, despite any pretensions that they would "wait and see", and for these reasons.
This just show the evil political nature of hate crime laws.
