namely, that after examining the case for more than a year, the evidence has not changed.
The Left should be careful what they wish for. A DOJ civil rights indictment would unleash hell.
I guess the first and most insumountable hurdle would be ‘logic’ as it is commonly understood in the western hemisphere.
How long are these left wing bastards going to keep coming after this man after all the hell he’s been through. I’m so pissed over this DOJ and Holder coming out saying they’re looking into this. And these idiots protesting like babies until they get what they want from their brotha in charge.
And the silence of ALL Republicans is literally making me furious.
Translation..."We may need more laws to give the DOJ more power to prosecute more people at it's objective discretion.
They won't rest until they can police our opinions, ideas, ambition and behavior.
Since those evil-doers in this administration have taken over, this country has truly jumped the shark.
Sickening!
Most likely not because for one thing GZ was not a police officer and such fed charges are not made against non-LE’s.
Actually, I have no faith whatsoever in any agency of this government while it is in control of Obama. Not a damned one of them.
That said, with the FBI’s prior clearing of Zimmerman’s ‘racial quotient’ so to speak. It will be interesting to see the minority lawyers of the DOJ work to both negate the findings of the FBI while simultaneously concocting special racial arguments in prosecuting the death of a black Cherub at the hands of some racist WHITE hispanic....
It’s gonna be funny to watch the hoops these affirmative action incompetent plants jump through to try and make a case...
Corey has shown that not having evidence is no impediment to filing charges or bringing a case to trial.
Holder’s DOJ has been looking for evidence of thoughtcrime for a year now and still hasn’t found anything.
Damn, I WISH (dreaming, I know) some reporter would ask some serious questions.
Can you define ‘racist’?
Can you define ‘bigot’?
Can you tell the difference between the two definitions?
How can the DoJ be impartial knowing the same financially/logistically supported the anti-Z. sentiments?
What Civil Right(s) of Z. was/were violated by T.M.?
What Civil Right(s) of T.M. was/were violated by Z.?
Lacking the directly above, what authority, and where is it derived from, do you have in prosecuting Z.?
Well, yeah. “He didn’t commit a crime” is (or, rather, should be) a pretty big hurdle in the DOJ’s possible prosecution.
If tyrants run into obstacles in persecution some innocent but unpopular guy, it’s it flackism to describe them as “hurdles”, like the wooden things that honest track athletes have to jump over? Shouldn’t they be called something less loaded like “safeguards”?
One thing both the left and right agree upon. The U.S. justice system is a shambles that is corrupted and broken beyond repair and that it needs to be completely eliminated. NOBODY has any faith in it.
If Zimmerman had been declared guilty, the right would not have accepted it anymore than the left has accepted the innocent verdict. The “greatest justice system in the world” is the laughingstock of the world.
“There’s been an acquittal. The evidence has not changed. It’s not like the feds are going to go in and find more evidence”
There’s plenty more evidence. Trayvon’s texts, Trayvon’s photos, Trayvon’s school records...
Methinks our "Feral Government"(TM) is not done yet, and will use the Zimmerman case as a broad based attack on "Stand Your Ground Laws".
>> their faith in the US justice system has been restored
There are two justice systems in question: Florida’s and US.
Florida’s “justice system” is a politically motivated train wreck. At risk of mixing metaphors, the fact that Z was acquitted means the cable of justice, while terribly frayed, is still hanging together by one thin strand. Didn’t give me any faith in that system, but I am thankful for that one working strand and hopeful that this will be a “wake up” call to clean up the train wreck and rebuild the cable.
The US system is different. We don’t know yet if it will “work”. So far the mechanical pieces seem to have worked okay (FBI found no sign of racism) while the political prime movers seem just as screwed up as ever (Holder ominously warning of continued “investigation”).
My prayer is that in spite of the evil within the DOJ, the real “cops” will refuse to gin up a reason to retry Z. In any case, the only new evidence would tend to exonerate Z; a federal show trial would be Holder skating on thin ice. Not that that would necessarily stop him, but I think it will.
