SANFORD, Fla. -- FBI agents on Monday were questioning potential witnesses in the Trayvon Martin shooting, confirming to NBC News that the agency had begun a "parallel investigation" that focuses on whether the teen's civil rights were violated.
Agents are seeking information on George Zimmerman's background and whether he was racially motivated when he pursued Martin after calling a 911 police dispatcher about his presence in the community, an FBI official told NBC.
The agents were at the Retreat at Twin Lakes, where Martin was shot dead by Zimmerman, the gated community's neighborhood watch captain.

Remember Zimmerman didn't even KNOW he was black until after he had spoken with the 9-11 operator and time had passed...
As a former Prosecutor, I have gone on record (to the consternation of some here) that I believe Zimmerman should be arrested and charged with manslaughter, I also see absolutely nothing to suggest this is a hate crime. I don’t see any Federal violation here.
Meet the new changed FBI: MISSING THE FOREST FOR THE TREE.
Why don’t they investigate the race baiting by the media instead. Bunch of wusses.
Now we know the fix is in just like in the days, it’s all gona be about blacks and for blacks and for the government interference, period.
RAce riots and Martial Law are now being paved. THis incident and this reaction by the FBI is all Obama needed.
Mueller is in Obama’s pocket.
People in CA are complaining. Interstate commerce, dontcha know.
Perhaps you should not mention “as a former prosecutor”, because that is full of obvious conflict of obvious interests.
It might help make your case better by just plainly stating what is it you think - in terms of purifying the consciousness to higher powers of the constitution as opposed to that of a job any liberal turd can get these days.
” As a former Prosecutor, I have gone on record (to the consternation of some here) that I believe Zimmerman should be arrested and charged with manslaughter”
Based upon what ?
Just the demands of the race hustlers including Eric Holder.
I wonder how the FBI’s investigation of the Black Panthers putting out a bounty for Zimmerman dead or alive is going.
Oh, that’s right, the Black Panthers are above the law.
Let this be a lesson to all the neighborhood watches. You could be next. Someone can beat your head in the pavement, but you better not defend yourselves. What did Obama say about bringing a knife to a gun fight? You can only bring a gun if you are the right color.
The media has to stop covering this story. So sick of hearing about it. Obama is baiting a race war so that people stop talking about what a dismal failure he is.
Is he still operating? In any case you are right, he was full with muslims and CAIR.
To me Islam could have been just another greek discipline or god of softness, but it has been hysterically arrogant and jealous of Christians and Jews. Only turd liberals and communists are what Islamics are willing to submit to, maybe feeling sorry of sorts for.
If you missed Rush this morning, he showed that NBC edited the Zimmerman tape, to paint him as a racist.
I guess, it might be true, I have seen many liberals causes not dropped with prosecution while many Zimmerman cases dropped with prosecution, so, that is an anomaly during these days of prosecutorial liberal provocations.

Many cops and security guards out there get away with murder or murderous neglect.... all the funding and language fund tends that way.
Yes, NBC is all in for the Trayvon side. They’re the racists.
It's political. The FBI does investigate allegations that are purely political. The theory is "Victim could have been the president's son, if the president had a son."
But seriously, the hook is federal hate crime violation. Might as well collect the evidence in case there is a state prosecution for manslaughter or murder.
See post 13.
“whether the teen’s civil rights were violated” =
the evidence proves it was clearly self-defense, so we can’t get him on that, so we’ll try this to get him on something, anything, to satisfy the mob blood-lust of our peeps
