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.

“Oh yeah and.. FUEH!!!!! Why hasn’t anyone pointed out HIS racist killings of OVER 300 MEXICANS BY FAST & FURIOUS FIREARMS???”

Because, to do so would end the career of anyone in the non-fax mainstream media who dared question it. The approved narrative is that only “CRAZY PEOPLE!” think that is important.

When Holder starts making public statements about the tragic, unnecessary shooting deaths of hundreds of children in Chicago and other democrat cesspools in this country by his gang-banger buddies, I might take him seriously.

My further educated guess is that Bobo’s Holder is ‘encouraging’ the Martin family ‘attorneys’ (facepalm) to get the civil suit in gear pronto, so the DoJ can sidestep their non-case, and point to the civil suit for the ever-present regime agitprop.

Republicans can win over Hispanic American citizens if they back Zimmerman against holder's malicious prosecution. They can use this case to show how the democrats will stab them in the back with the race card.

Good thinking, peeps36. I hope that GOP "leadership" (if any) recognizes the opportunity.

Oh I know they would side with the traitors, they always do. And until they get it together they’ll never get my vote again. Don’t care how many FReepers say “its better than alternative” ..yea, no it’s not.

Are you speaking of the juror who is going to write a book?

Her profile states she is the one whose husband is an attorney, she had a CC and let it lapse, though her husband still has one.

I’m guessing she was quite rational in the deliberations.

Your post reminds me of an incident that happened a year or so ago to my husband. We were visiting San Juan Capistrano and he was waiting at the train depot for me when 2 African-American women and a 3-4 year old girl sat down next to him. The little girl had got a cowboy holster and gun and was playing with it. She said “I’m shooting tigers, I’m shooting lions, I’m shooting white people” My husband said the ladies hushed her up but no reprimand. At that young age, she was already being taught to hate. (Sorry for the length of this)

On the outside one would think so nut from the OS article linked at 68:

Literary and media manager Sharlene Martin said:

“My hope is that people will read Juror B37’s book, written with her attorney husband, and understand the commitment it takes to serve and be sequestered on a jury in a highly publicized murder trial and how important, despite one’s personal viewpoints, it is to follow the letter of the law,” Martin said in a statement. “

It could open a whole new dialogue about laws that may need to be revised and revamped to suit a 21st century way of life.

“The reader will also learn why the jurors had no option but to find Zimmerman Not Guilty due to the manner in which he was charged and the content of the jury instructions,” the statement says.

It’s all about power, the “other currency” for reparations.

Rush Limbaugh said today the DOJ has been in on this from day one and they have not done anything yet. Andrew McCarthy was on Fox news today and said they would be laughed out of court to bring this and they know it but they keep this going for the sake of their base.

“Holder was one of the top lawyers whom covered up the massacre at Waco, TX that involved the gassing, shooting, and burning alive of infants and children.

Holder has a long history of evil. Along history of using the Government to kill and injure citizens.

Never expect reason or morality to become a part of this Justice Department’s actions.

This is the dark age that your mother told you about. Act accordingly.”

.

AMEN fellow FReeper, AMEN!

I want these POS in the Whitehouse to make crime and Zimmerman an issue. Do it.

*THIS* disturbs me, greatly. There is absolutely *NO*, I repeat, *NO* difference in basic human nature throughout recorded history. The obvious inference here, is that human nature is a *CONSTANT*.

Anyone who professes a belief that the building blocks of a successful society need to be changed to reflect the 'change' of what is, in essence, a verifiable constant, is a complete and utter dolt.

Human nature is/has been/will always be the same, no matter if your framing it in the twelfth century, the twenty first, or the forty-fifth. A constant, is a constant, is a constant, it is, by definition, unchanging...

They’re wrong on this though. MANY dems will not side with a black thug in training over defending themselves. They are putting CRIME back into the voters minds and we all know that doesn’t bode well for the libtards.

Oh you think the one who is going to write a book was a hold out for Guilty? I tend to agree. Why else would she want to come out with a book?

McCarthy better realize he’s dealing with hard core anti white anti American zealots with Obama and his bitch boy Holder.
They will have a never ending investigation, hell maybe even an IRS audit of GZ, and find something, anything, to nail him as a racist/bad person.

I would rather see them go after the votes of Hispanic citizens then commit suicide by passing amnesty. The Zimmerman case is a good opportunity to support self defense and fight against the black panthers in the Just-Us Dept. I think the republicans can pick up a sizable chunk of Hispanic voters if they did this right.

Yes, it was absolutely "unnecessary" ... unnecessary for Trayvon Martin to have committed aggravated assault on George Zimmerman.

Here we have all these folks on TV emoting, and and even a State prosecutor claiming -ludicrously- that we need a "stay in your car law" ... the illogic being that had it not been for George Z 's "getting out of his car against instructions," nobody would've been killed that night.

How about a little admission from some grownups (if there are any on the Trayvon side) of this reality:
That had it not been for Trayvon Martin's committing aggravated assault upon George Z, during which he had Z pinned to the ground, nobody would've been killed that night?

But no one yet is publicly admitting this (except for Mark O'Mara).

No, we're still supposed to pretend that little Trayvon was simply merrily skipping home from the candy store ... and didn't willingly stop to commit a deadly assault before he got there.

This guy is a complete fraud and sociopath. How can an honest person with dignity say out of one side of his mouth that the justice system has spoken and then out the other side of his mouth endorse extending an investigation. I can only reason that his Sharia conscience allows him to make such contrary speaking.
