From the article:

“What the government would have to prove is that Mr. Zimmerman acted out of hatred toward African-Americans. That's why he came into contact with him. That's why he shot and killed him," Sheaffer said.

--------------------------------------------------

That might be a tall order, because they would have to explain how, despite Zimmerman's volunteering to mentor underprivileged, i.e., black kids, he harbored all this hatred toward blacks. If the feds go through with this, it will be a huge and egregious waste of taxpayer money.

Nothing matter’s as long as obama is re-elected.
the left is willing to throw anyone under the bus for that.

So why don’t they do something useful like investigating the Dept of Justice and ATF running guns?

I’m losing all respect for these people. How many race hate crimes have we seen in the past few weeks and they’ve done nothing! FBI is nothing more than the political police.

This exact story was widely discussed and - I believe - debunked yesterday:

The hate crime charge threat is purely political. They have zero evidence of that.

I always call the cops first when I’m getting ready to stalk someone.

Be very careful what you say here lest it be used as evidence of your own thought crimes.

Yep. The work hours wasted by this administration in harassing citizens instead of providing authentic security are legion.

The charge in the end will be lying to the FBI. This is their usual last stand when they have nothing else. They are political animals not real cops.

I miss the old FBI when only a small amount of politics was involved. Miss the old FBI as much as I miss President Reagan.

Would like to tell a story of first hand experience when speaking on the phone with a present day FBI agent within the past year or two. A little background ... Was receiving calls at my location. The calls were from outside the country and were scam related. Called to inform the FBI. Was told by the agent the numbers were changed nearly everyday by the scammers, and the calls were from outside the country, thus no jurisdication and there was nothing which could be done. Noticed on the tele, last night, where an FBI agent was speaking to the press (locally). Speaking of the Incompetan0 if you see something, say something campaign, and speaking of the dollar amounts being taking via scams from America (16 billion last year reported) and that billboards had been erected in several states where the scams were prevalent. It was a warning ... nothing more ... and though was not stated, the policy is ... If you see something, say something, so we (who are in charge) can know you called while we (the FBI and your government) do nothing. Kind of made me laugh nervously.

Politics. Pure and simple. Feel better give us a call was the FBI agent's message. Dear FBI, not feeling better out here, after knowing what was told on the phone when I called.

If the feds go through with this, it will be a huge and egregious waste of taxpayer money.

And it would be an even bigger waste of Zimmerman's money, which is the means to the end -- don't investigate suspicious people, don't dare to challenge a low-class black criminal, don't fight back, and don't own a gun or use it.

We all knew the Feds would jump on this as well, despite any pretensions that they would "wait and see", and for these reasons.
