[Repeal The 17th]

“...Trayvon wasn’t able to tell us his version of events...”

I just spit co-cola out of my nose when I read that.

Follow the money!

Only because the commie bastards are pissed off the DOJ can't

Frikkin' AP says .. "We'll see about THAT !!"

[Elsiejay]

The mills of justice grind exceeding slow.

Only racist animosities caused this long-delayed and utterly pointless re-visit.

[Socon-Econ]

I’m sure DOJ looked WAY back into this life for anything racist. If he had used the N-word back in elementary school, he would be facing charges.

The Department of Justice announced today that it will not pursue a federal civil rights charge against George Zimmerman, arising out of his fatal altercation with Trayvon Martin. That was pretty much a foregone conclusion, but the Associated Press took the opportunity to revisit the case

. . . . and to insinuate, contrary to all evidence, that some other course of action was legitimate (let alone called for).

It is easy to show that the AP has the opportunity, and clear that the AP has the motive, to deceive the public to that effect. As to opportunity, the AP is a virtual meeting of all major journalism outlets. It has been operating since memory of living man runneth not to the contrary. As such, Adam Smith’s dictum that

People of the same trade seldom meet together, even for merriment and diversion, but the conversation ends in a conspiracy against the public - Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations

makes it clear that the AP can, if it so chooses, tell the public half the truth, or even lie.

As to motive, the journalists who thus conspire against the public all want to be important, without having to go to the trouble of actually doing anything important. So they have the incentive to tear down any and all institutions which actually do the things the public needs done. George Zimmerman was a doer in the sense that he was the leader of a watch against burglars in a community which had recently experienced burglaries, including “hot” burglaries in which victims were directly placed in fear of physical attack.

Furthermore, he had a Jewish surname and was light-skinned enough that he could be styled “a white hispanic.” And the “victim” was black. That made him vulnerable to charges of racism, giving those tempted to criticize the illusion of having the moral high ground.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

ABC evening news just had a program on about this. First they showed Zimmerman, then they showed St Trayvon as a pre-teen.

YOU EVER See Benjamin Crumps' Bidness Card?

[TChad]

If a white had done this to George Zimmerman, the AP would have called it a hate crime against a Hispanic.

The Associated Press Revisits the Trayvon Martin Case

Oh goodie. I was afraid it was fading from our memories. /snort
