Is the goal to take away the right of self-defense?

No, the goal is to allow the administration to make political brownie points and hold open the door for the Justice Brothers and Crump to cash in on a wrongful death lawsuit........

And the New Black Panther party and MSNBC gets a pass.

True - Black Panthers putting out a wanted poster and offering money for anyone willing to kill Zimmerman, isn't 'hate' by liberal standards...

I have known a number of FBI investigators over many years and in several places where we lived, and IMO your response in without merit. I found them all conservative in thought, and way of life. I found them lousy golfers but great around a backyard barbecue as long as there was cold beer.

Possible the FBI is doing this to try and stop violence in the case he is found not guilty. Then they can drag it on and find him not guilty and by that time the natives will have returned to their normal lives. I’m hoping that is what this is.

They would rather waste their time going after Zimmerman then spend their time arresting the criminals at the top of our government.

Wellp, this settles it for me. I’m gonna make sure that I only get assaulted by lilly white guys from here on out.

That way, if I end up shootin’ one of ‘em in self defense; I won’t be a bad person.

you asked . . . "Even the FBI has been infiltrated and rotted out by communists. Are there any truly American institutions left?"

That was clearly established 50 plus years ago!

Under the guise of "civil rights". control of the "education system," et all . . American public were "bullied" into shutting up lest you be considered a prejudiced, religious extremest, female hating pig, racist animal.

And we the masses over the years being led to slaughter.

Double jeopardy for some, zero jeopardy for others (NBPP).

Not double jeopardy two different charges from two different authorities that being said it is an attempt to grind him & his defense team down.

They can fudge it with legalese, but it’s double jeopardy as far as I’m concerned.

The questions could lead to the obvious - that Zimmermans’s NOT a racist - and this isn’t a hate crime. Or even if he does look down on blacks - it’s still not a hate crime. (Zimmerman’s part black - so I doubt there’s going to be much of a ‘hate crime’ issue) From what I’ve seen, I believe Zimmerman acted in self defense. Unless there’s a huge amount of evidence that hasn’t been made public, that’ll be the conclusion of honest men and women... A black woman in Zimmerman’s complex has already come forward with her support of him - I’m sure others will too.

I won’t argue - I tend to agree, but for all practical purposes, the double-jeopardy protection is null and void!

“In the meantime, FBI investigators are actively questioning witnesses in the retreat at the Twin Lakes neighborhood, seeking evidence for a possible federal hate crime charge.”


If you really, really, really have to look for it, its probably not there.

Is FBI checking out that he educate and mentored black children and helped out a black man wrongly persecuted?

I didn't think so.
