Thousands protest Zimmerman verdict as DoJ vows to restart hate crime inquiry

Thousands took to streets across the US on Sunday, as protests against the acquittal of George Zimmerman entered their second day. Zimmerman, a former neighborhood watch volunteer, shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in 2012.

Follow RT's LIVE UPDATES on Zimmerman verdict fallout.

The Justice Department said Sunday that it will restart its investigation into last year’s killing to consider possible separate hate crime charges against George Zimmerman. The news follows huge public outcry and calls from civil rights leaders to reopen the inquiry.

"Experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction...and whether federal prosecution is appropriate in accordance with the department's policy governing successive federal prosecution following a state trial,” a Justice Department spokesman said in a Sunday statement.

MSNBC’s online poll shows 65% APPROVE of the verdict.....so the real number is probably 80%

DOJ inquiry will come to nothing and the threats of civil charges as well.

They are the ones who fear litigation because the defense will at that time unleash the rest of what they know about the Scheme Team and Trayvon Martin and it won't be pretty, especially how on April 2nd 2012 while the state was interviewing one DeeDee, the FBI was interviewing another different one --

and they didn't know it??? except for the Scheme Team itself???

A Federal lawsuit would require the opening of those FBI files and how embarrassing will that be when it comes out.

The FBI already cleared Zimmerman of any racial motive in the incident. The DoJ has no case.

The FBI can be Serino'd and Corey'd. In other words, fired from the case and replaced with someone that toes the line.

This is just democracy in action... the People demand justice, and the gov' will provide it. Worked in France - they celebrate it every year, yesterday.

DoJ vows to restart hate crime inquiry

Of course they will because whites will not stand up for themselves and make no doubt this is an indictment against whites. Race will and is being be used to destroy whites and this nation

They look to be largely led by white marxists.

People really need to study up on the tactics employed by Alinsky and Ayers. The people in the street are seldom the source of outrage. Its the quiet voices in the shadows that need to be eliminated.

I thought we were a nation of laws.

Maybe long ago. "Were" is the operative word.

Justice by popular demand.

Just the thing for an aspiring fascist state.

The fix is in,boys and girls.The Department of Just Us,with Trayvon’s DC “dad” at the helm (in reality) had hoped that a jury of 6 Florida women would give GZ 30 years.But they're determined...so we can count on jury pool tainting of epic proportions now because,after all,the “First Son”,aged 11,has been wantonly gunned down by a cracker.

Can you say “mob rule”? I knew you could....especially since Holder got the mob going in the first place by “encouraging” charges through the FL court.

I didn't see them covering TEA party protests against Obamacare with anywhere near this kind of enthusiasm

So far I have been able to shut down several “justice for trayvon” threads on other sites by asking a simple question:

You look outside tonight after dark and see a 6'1 tall man walking around in your backyard- would you consider that ‘suspicious activity’?”

I understand. I hate it when someone is bashing my head against a concrete sidewalk.
