This is rich considering the FBI did an investigation last summer and concluded that GZ did not act out of racism.

[blackdog]

It's come down to book sales?

WOW!!!!

[Paladin2]

The compelling reason is that Zim has been positively ID’d as a Creepy Ass Cracker.

[C. Edmund Wright]

This idiot author admits that, but says Holder should do it anyway. It’s a schizo article.....from what I gleaned...

[GoldenPup]

If the Justice Department gives serious consideration to the civil rights violations in the Martin case, it will again send the strong message that civil rights violations will always be subject to full and public scrutiny by federal prosecutors. This is exactly why Attorney General Holder has a more than compelling reason to consider a Zimmerman civil rights prosecution.

UNMITIGATED BULLSHIT!!

[cripplecreek]

Zimmerman himself has a history of standing up for the rights of those less fortunate than himself.

[FlingWingFlyer]

The trouble is, nobody trusts Holder. Many Americans see him as a racist bigot.

[GeronL]

not one iota of evidence said GZ was guilty

[Rappini]

If you want to destroy American start with not giving a $hit about the laws or the Constitution.

[old curmudgeon]

The author is an ass.

Martin did not commit a crime?

Since when is jumping a person on a dark night and beating the crap out of him not a crime?

[GeronL]

because his book would sell better

[C. Edmund Wright]

...no doubt.....no one will read his books, but a bunch of other liberal professors will order it for their students......

[ctdonath2]

With enough blather, nothing is outside the scope of federal control.
Not even the most mundane self defense act.

[Flightdeck]

I hope they do go after him for civil rights violations. The trial would be a laughingstock for the arch-racist Holder, and the not-guilty verdict would be returned even faster. One more (of many) data point of incompetence for this corrupt Administration.

[Uncle Chip]

It must involve a substantial federal interest, the state prosecution must not have vindicated that interest, the government must believe that the defendant's conduct could constitute a federal offense, and that there is still sufficient evidence against the defendant that the government can obtain a conviction.

What a pantload of HS. No matter what they gin up the feds can't obtain a conviction --

[jumperbones]

Got that right

[xzins]

It is hard to imagine that these people don’t know how to read. I can’t bring myself to think they’re that stupid.

Therefore, they are so partisan that, even know the truth, they push any opportunity they see to advocate an agenda at a particular time and place.

They know that the idea of Zimmerman preventing free movement or the right to life and safety is just so much sophistry.

What’s the other hand doing? Generally I’d say follow the money. However, in the same way as knowledge is power, so money is power. Follow the money, but also follow the power.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I have an even more compelling reason to call this writer a moron.

[metesky]

When are people going to stop calling that racist little son of a bitch “Reverend”?
