George Zimmerman Still Faces Hate Crime Violations for Shooting Trayvon Martin?
The Inquisitr News ^ | October 3, 2014

Posted on 10/04/2014 1:51:53 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

George Zimmerman may already be destitute and homeless due to the shooting of Trayvon Martin, a Federal Justice Department investigation into whether or not Zimmerman committed civil rights violations has the potential to put him behind bars.

In a related report by The Inquisitr, Robert Zimmerman is planning a Zimmerman family reality TV show and a line of self-defense products called Brand Z. A producer named Beth Marshall is working on a series of plays as a tribute to Trayvon Martin, and she claims Martin would be still be alive today if he was white like her own son.

The issue at hand is whether or not Zimmerman committed a hate crime. In order to successfully prosecute a federal criminal civil rights case, prosecutors would have to prove racial profiling was the motive for following Martin around the neighborhood, and that he also shot the younger man because he was African American.

Before Eric Holder resigned, he claimed the investigation investigation was still ongoing, and that federal officials were examining a computer that potentially held evidence to suggest George Zimmerman could have intentionally acted with the intent to deprive Trayvon Martin of his civil rights....

Oh, cool, Zimmerman was a police officer and thus entitled to a full pension?

Because it is ONLY the government which can oppress your civil rights. Individuals can’t.

Oh, damn, what am I thinking? Laws mean nothing during witch hunts.

Now, if Zimmerman had been carrying a Koran and had beheaded Trayvon Martin, a “workplace violence” case could be made.

He’s never been charged with a civil rights violation and never will be. The plan is to keep Dem black folks riled enough to maybe vote.

I like the idea of Brand Z — means he is a fighter.

I hope in the end it turns out he gets his fight from the Lord, not the world.

The whole concept of a “hate crime” is bullshit. The courts should have thrown it out long ago.

Holder quietly dropped the charges earlier in the year, IIRC.

No, he let it leak that charges “probably” wouldn’t be brought, which is not the same thing at all.

George Zimmerman is the victim of blatant libel. It is a travesty that he does not own NBC after their stunt of broadcasting the tape of his conversation with the police, with an answer and then a question excised - making the answer to the second, excised question stand as the answer to a different question. That technique could make anyone seem guilty of just about anything.
For propagandizing the public to the effect that Zimmerman was a racist, a righteous FCC (if we had such) would pull the plug on the licensees who broadcast that bilge. Since the FCC has done nothing, the FCC should be sued to force it to make an example of those licensees so that no licensee ever pulls that particular stunt again.
(Note: as a political matter, George Zimmerman is a Democrat).

Hello!!!!!! How are you???? Haven’t seen you in a while. Hope all is well.

Your post is correct. He is free....now if only he could be free on Free Republic, all would be well. He has had plenty of attention here. Time to kick him out of the nest and allow him to live on his own without constant FREEPER FANS waiting with bated breath on his every move. lol.

Since the idiots in the media think that people should have a licence to own a firearm, perhaps it is time to enforce the licencing of any and all scribblers and owners of newsrags and networks.

If any scribbler, rag or network lies about a person or persons, a business or organization the first time the penalty will be a heavy fine. If they persist in their lies, the offending party will be hit with punitive damages and jail time for the scribblers responsible for spreading the lies in the first place.

Continue, and the offending rag or network will be shut down and and all persons involved will do hard time.

Time to put the liars out of business.

I heard the civil rights part was dropped - there will still be those who try to keep the racism/hate crap alive because they hate that he "got away with murdering an underprivileged angel of Color"...
