It is not double jeopardy to try him under the fed civil rights laws, but I think GROSSLY unfair that they can come after him a second time and use this loosely written law to try to put this guy in jail. This is not what our country was founded on. You cannot get even just because someone won in court. It is grossly wrong to keep being allowed to time after time after time keep coming up with some crap to try to put this guy in jail. He was tried in a free and open criminal court and found NOT GUILTY. He should not have to face defending himself in trial after trial for the next 10 years.
I agree with you, but the harsh reality is, they most likely will try. You can say what you want about the LA cops, ref Rodney King, but they went through it, and I predict Zimmerman will too, although I hope I am wrong.
You’re right, of course.
If they do file “civil rights” charges, think a minute about what that means: it means that the feds (I won’t capitalize anything related to the federal government) can cherry-pick who they want to press charges against, and under what circumstances. Equality before the law is out the window. If they do this, you then have to ask why don’t they do this with EVERY murder/killing? Why not on every mugging? Civil rights are paramount, right?
If this happens, the counter-revolution needs to start as quickly as possible...
