What Attorney General Eric Holder Just Said About the Zimmerman Case
GretaWire - Fox News ^ | Monday, July 15, 2013 | Reported by Jake Gibson

Posted on 07/15/2013 9:39:47 AM PDT by kristinn

Sent to me by FNC colleague Jake Gibson:

There are the AG’s remarks at today’s Delta Sigma Theta sorority convention that will address Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman

Of course, as this celebration unfolds, we are also mindful of the pain felt by our nation surrounding the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida last year – and the state trial that reached its conclusion over the weekend. As parents, as engaged citizens, and as leaders who stand vigilant against violence in communities across the country, the Deltas are deeply, and rightly, concerned about this case. The Justice Department shares your concern – I share your concern – and, as we first acknowledged last spring, we have opened an investigation into the matter.

Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally-charged issues that this case has raised. We must not – as we have too often in the past – let this opportunity pass.

Will they investigate the provable violence against Zimmerman, who is also the child of parents?

Good.

More evidence of Holder’s malicious intent for Zman’s civil rights case.

translation: We’re gonna use this to take another bite of the apple on gun control and to scare SCOTUS off of killing Affirmative Action.

Let me guess he wants to have the allegedly uncomfortable dialogue on race again, which if anyone then tells him the truth, he will start screaming “Racist!” at them.

I’m more than ready to have that discussion. It begins with why are you fanning racial tension, wasting my time and money, and persecuting an innocent man? Aren’t you lawyer enough to watch the same trial I did and know there was no evidence of a racial incident?

Black sorority, but of course that’s not racist.

He must have lost the paperwork on the original FBI racism investigation.

Honestly, I would expect the Justice Department to proceed with charges against Zimmerman, whether or not he meets the requirements, simply to punitively punish him financially from the costs of defending himself, and by the emotional toll it will cost him to spend the next few years of his life tied up in this.

The cost to the United States doesn't matter to Obama or Holder, and neither does eventually winning or losing.

News flash for Al Sharpton, Eric Holder, and every other aggrieved minority that continues to misread the trial verdict -

THERE IS NO RIGHT TO JUMP SOMEONE.

Isn’t this violating Zimmerman’s civil rights?

“unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin”

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Justifiable+homicide

justifiable homicide n. a killing without evil or criminal intent, for which there can be no blame, such as self-defense to protect oneself or to protect another, or the shooting by a law enforcement officer in fulfilling his/her duties. This is not to be confused with a crime of passion or claim of diminished capacity which refer to defenses aimed at reducing the penalty or degree of crime. (See: homicide, self-defense)
