Wouldn’t surprise me if Zimmerman wasn’t the shooter and this was staged, unbeknownst to both parties. I’m sure 0bama just can’t wait to start a little ‘civil unrest’ leading up to the election. This will fit nicely with the ‘War on Women’ (how thoughtful of Ms. Fluke to just mysteriously show up!), OWS (homegrown phenomena!), evil oil company spills, and gun chaos in Mexico. Did I leave anything out? Like Tucson, Maybe 0bama will show up at the memorial for this kid and turn that into a campaign rally too! Go, DOJ, go!!!

Under growing public pressure, the Department of Justice announced Monday that it would conduct a review of the case, but added the qualification that the “government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a person acted intentionally with the specific intent to do something which the law forbids.”

Complicating matters, Florida state law allows a person the right to stand their ground and use deadly force if they feel threatened. The Justice Department recognized that, stating that “negligence, recklessness, mistakes and accidents are not prosecutable under the federal criminal civil rights laws.”

The federal government can’t prosecute Zimmerman for murder or manslaughter, so any prosecution for civil rights violations must prove Zimmerman took Martin’s life because of prejudice.

Zimmerman’s family denied he is a racist.

This is a senseless tragedy that resulted in the death of a child. Please don’t try to make into something political.
