DOJ to Announce No Charges in Trayvon Martin's Death
ABC "News" ^ | 2/24/15

....ABC News has learned Martin’s family will soon be notified that the Justice Department will not be filing charges against George Zimmerman, who shot the 17-year-old after a confrontation in 2012. Thursday marks three years to the day since Martin was killed.

Federal prosecutors concluded there is not sufficient evidence to prove Zimmerman, a neighborhood watchman in Sanford, Fla., intentionally violated Martin’s civil rights, sources told ABC News.

Since that’s the end result of all of this shouldn’t the mob now be required to rebuild and put back everything that was damaged and stolen? /sarcasm

Besides, GZ has pretty much destroyed himself already

It would be a breath of fresh air if - instead of mouthing platitudes about freedom - FReepers actually stood up for innocent men.

Actually, no. it did not take them three years to realize this. They knew from day one that they had no case. They drug it out for three years because they could.

Zimmerman needs to get the hell out of Florida is my opinion.

Actually, the last girlfriend to accuse him has recanted her story.....I am not saying he is the sharpest knife in the drawer, but all these incidents that the media is so quick to report, upon closer inspection, seem to dissolve.

I would guess the the 3 year window for the statute of limitations for filing is ending and its clear that they don’t have a case, and never have had a case, but held onto this to rile up racial animosity.

You’re right. My comment was intended as sarcastic, not a true statement of their coming to a realization that there was no case.

Weird who that works huh? So, do you suppose we’re going to have to wait 3 years for the Ferguson announcement to be made? Will it be loretta lynch that makes it? I hope not her.

"GZ has pretty much destroyed himself already..."

What happened the last time you had to defend yourself from a vicious thug and every level of government in the nation conspired against you? Please tell us, we're on the edge of our seats.

Good for you FRiend.

I sent them a pittance - and Robert Zimmerman (up to his ears in GZ’s case) still found the time to send me a short but charming email.

Does Zim get an apology for having his life ruined?

IF Holder was stupid enough to file Civil Rights Charges, he would have to open up ALL the dirty drug dealing and petty criminal acts of Obama’s son. Along with autopsy results and more, much more stuff that was kept out of the criminal trial.

And he can’t do it. It would give credence to us right wingers who knew that Traygone was a punk who deserved what he got.

abc still using photo of 12 year old trayvon rather than a pic of the giant thug he was at age 17 when he attacked zimmerman.
