State prosecutors said Zimmerman gave several inconsistent statements to Sanford police, which is, in part, their basis for charging him with second-degree murder.

The old "inconsistent statements" routine is the first and usually only strategy the police use when they have decided that they WILL arrest somebody regardless of the evidence. Just keep questioning the "suspect" over and over without a lawyer.

Since Zimmerman is 1/4 black, he must hate himself, too.

Bottom line is that it is a hate crime to defend yourself against one of Eric Holder's people.

translation: We don’t think Florida can make the homicide case stand up, and we’ve gotta throw a bone to our peeps.

Same thought occurred to me.

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.

Did Zimmerman ever even talk to the FBI? I'd be surprised if he had. So I don't think he's been lying to them, and I doubt his lawyer will let him talk to them.

It’s a communist brainwashing technique.

Scroll down to the heading “Confusion”, and you’ll see exactly this technique used by communist brainwashing specialists.

I find this both discouraging and laughable. Consider all the things the FBI SHOULD be looking into -- corruption in the DOJ, the ATF, and the SS, to name just a few, and yet what are they doing?

Harrassing a guy who by all appearances is innocent. Of course, its bacause as soon as this case broke Obama had it incorperated into his reelection gameplan. Now the truth has come out about Trevor Martin, that he wasn't some sweet angel, but its too late for the left to backtrack. So they're bringin all their guns to bear.

Zimmerman VS the United States -- truly a terrifiying prospect for a private citizen considering how heavily invested the government is in one particular outcome, regardless of justice. This is what America has come to under Obama.

Regards,

Cope

This press release is purely to get those black preachers back in line.

Ah, the author "anonymous", of a very controversial book written in the 1970's, was a prophet.

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.

Easily explained - he was a fox dressing up like a chicken until the opportunity came along...

It's truly frightening that the power of the Feds are being used in this fashion. If they make the move and get away with it, our options to prevent pure tyranny will be limited.

Charging Zimmerman with a “hate crime” is a “hate crime” onto itself.

If Obama is re-elected, Zimmerman can expect to spend at least the next 4 years battling lawsuits, even if he keeps winning, unless someone kills him first.

Someone pointed out that he could face the death penalty if found guilty of a "hate crime."

It's ludicrous that someone who is at least one-eighth black is suspected of a hate crime for watching a person who was acting in a suspicious manner. Assuming his version is correct, and I have no reason to doubt it, it's an outrage what he's been put through. Unfortunately in our society the only thing he has going for him is that he isn't 100% European in ancestry--if he was he'd have even less of a chance of being given a fair trial.

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

If this is true, it will mark the complete politicization of our justice system.

Hate crimes are only for Whitey. The FBI has forgotten Zimmerman is Hispanic and black. Good luck with that scenario.

Zimmerman has more black blood in him than Obama who is more Arab than black.

I miss the old FBI

... that just sniper-shot nursing mothers in the brain and gun-shot teenage kids, over 1/4" lengths of rifle stocks. I miss the old FBI, that couldn't take out two Miami punks, because the two agents who had the submachine guns were double-teaming a waitress in the back room of a local dive.

Understand your sentiments. Comments were direct toward the 60s and 50s and earlier. The mentioned event perhaps happened later?
