Sharpton On A Civil Rights Lawsuit: "We Always Said There Would Be A Plan B"
Rel Clear Politics ^ | July 14, 2013

Posted on 07/14/2013 9:39:07 PM PDT by NotYourAverageDhimmi

AL SHARPTON: It goes to the Justice Department. Clearly there are grounds for civil rights charges here. The mother and father of Trayvon Martin and I, with their lawyers, met with the U.S. attorney in Florida the day I went down there to organize the first national rally there. And we always said there would be a plan B, but there needed to be a plan A. There would never have been protests if there had been an arrest and if the police department there did what it was supposed to do." (Meet the Press, July 14, 2013)

Why would you want the Hispanics to take some race-based grievance from the Zimmerman case?

I would want them to be angry because an innocent man has nearly had his life ruined by race-baiters and anti-Self-Defense activists.

But I would be disgusted if they defended Zimmerman just because he shared some racial DNA with them.

Can we have a society governed by common sense, and not the bile of this “Reverend”.

Even NPR said, regarding the federal option (and I paraphrase): Good luck with that. You’ll need it.

Note to prosecutors: Don’t bother bringing charges against a man that claims self defense for shooting someone when eyewitnesses can testify that the dead guy was “raining punches” on the shooter and the shooter has the damage to proove it.

Idiots.

Zimmerman filed suit against NBC in December, but the judge prevented that suit from going forward until after the criminal trial.

This is what MSNBC calls an unbiased news Journalist.

It’s a strange world we live in.

RE :”Even NPR said, regarding the federal option (and I paraphrase): Good luck with that. You’ll need it”

Yep, in fact I watched much of MSNBC yesterday to see what they are plotting.

Al Sharpton and a few others are calling fora Federal hate crime investigation and their big evidence of a federal hate crime is :

1) That on phone with police Zimm said ‘...they always...’ with ‘they’ being you-know-who

2) That Zimm reported suspicious characters in his neighborhood on watch to police ~ 70 of which were black

Another one on MSNBC said that our hate crime laws are outdated because they require explicit racists statements, and now-a-days racist behaviors is many times performed without those doing it even knowing that is what it is....like being scared of certain strangers without thinking ..so we need hate crimes laws that recognize that hate crimes happen without hate....not kidding

I think the suit was brought by the Browns on behalf of OJs children

(the children of the dead Nicole Brown)

they got about $30 MILLION

I think that was all OJ had

he lived a very fruggle life after that...

Why not. We already have ‘thought crimes’ (hate crimes) legislation, just expand on those...Not like we have a Constitutional Republic anymore.

If I were Z, I’d say “bring it on” and bring miz ‘crazy ass cracker’ herself to start things off. The discovery would shut the rest up QUICKLY as their M.O. would fall apart (saint Skittles being the 12 yrs old angel). Hell, Z should counter-sue and add in the Justice Brothers for inciting/defamation/slander/libel/etc...Throw the bus at them and bankrupt their sorry asses.

I'm sorry, my question was rhetorical. The answer is NO, the DOJ did NOT intervene.

You are thinking about the Wrongful Death civil suit brought by the the Goldmans. You are correct they did win. But I believe that beyond his Heisman trophy, they did not get much if anything else.

” Plan A : March, protest and demand Zimm be tried.

and if he is acquitted

Plan B : March, protest and demand Zimm be tried again

and if he is acquitted a second time

Plan C : March, protest and demand Zimm be sued.

That is because they believe in the rule of law and justice.”

LMAO)!
