South Bay Rep. Maxine Waters on Wednesday characterized the shooting of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin as a "hate crime" during an appearance on CNN.
"There are too many unanswered questions and I really, personally, believe this is a hate crime," Waters said during a joint early morning television interview with Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo.
Martin, a 17-year-old African-American, was fatally shot last month by George Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch leader. Zimmerman, who was not charged with a crime, has said he acted in self-defense after Martin punched him. Zimmerman has a white father and Latino mother.

That Maxine. She’s always a step ahead.
My sympathies to her district. But, then, you get what you vote for.

Maybe it is a hate crime.
Maybe Mr. Zimmerman hated being beaten.

"There are too many unanswered questions and I really, personally, believe this is a hate crime,"It must have been all those unanswered questions that convinced her.

Well, as long as SHE says it, then it MUST be true!

A seat in Congress can’t be safer than Maxine’s. Except maybe Jackson-Lee in Houston. That’s pretty safe too.

I’ve heard on the news today that Zimmerman is being called a white Hispanic. Kind of “racey” don’t you think.

During the 911 calls Mr. Zimmerman never mentioned the race of Mr. Martin. I don’t understand how at night, from a considerable distance, Mr. Zimmerman could determine the race of a person wearing a hoodie. To him it would be “someone acting suspicious” of indeterminate race.
