The lead investigator in the Trayvon Martin shooting case told the FBI that George Zimmerman was not a racist, but rather an “overzealous” and “soft guy” who had a “little hero complex,” according to documents released today by Florida prosecutors.

With you on this one. Smoking Gun is not a blog.

Actually, blogs can claim copyright too. And the copyright notice need not be present.

You should get one. And post your “teasers” to get hits to your blog. You seems to like this type of negative reaction.

I trust you are reading what others besides me are trying to tell you about posting crappy excerpts. They are not appreciated here. And if you have a problem with FReepers “stealing” content, then take it up with Jim Rob. After all, this is his site and he knows better than you about copyright problems. Posting a decent excerpt is perfectly legal.

Doing what you are doing is akin to blog-pimping.

In the years I've been a FReeper, I've come to expect a sort of odd disassociative behavior from you. With all the snide negativity directed at FR and FReepers, it seems you've somehow lost sight of the fact that you are one, too. That, or you have an audience elsewhere that you're trying to impress.

His behavior is exactly like that of a "Look at Me!" blogpimp. That's why I asked if he had a blog.

Why? Was there some money quote? Why wasn't it in the excerpt? There was plenty of space.

I think the vast majority of FReepers are quite rational. And I would go further and say that FR has some of the finest posters on the Internet.

And I'm not trying to impress anyone elsewhere.

However, I am a curmudgeon. :)

Is that bad??? Is someone who does his job "overzealous"??? Would you rather him be a "cold calculating hard ass with a criminal complex". How would that work for neighborhood watch????

Oh the lead investigator who was been reassigned to parole duties after illegally leaking stuff to the media which includes his anti Zimmerman opinion?
Dude sounds like he’s trying to get a job with Holder.

I did. That's where I found this little gem:

Zimmerman’s ex-girlfriend said he was “the last person” she would expect to be involved in a shooting incident, explaining that he “was not the type of person to place himself in a physical confrontation.”

Not sure what it means coming from someone who filed an RO against him and had one filed against her, but according to her, he would not initiate a confrontation, especially a physical one.

Is this cop also a psychologist?If not, his opinion is irrelevant to anything and anyone other than the journalist community.

This lead investigator is an attention whore and has been babbling stuff like this to the media since this case with viral. He’s also been the leak to many reporters and has been reassigned from lead detective to a patrol officer.

How is it that FBI case file data on a pending case is public?

I believe because the case is no longer "pending" but "closed" because the FBI found no evidence of this being a race crime. That means that there was no evidence of "profiling" as was the accusation in the state's affidavit.

It’s Florida Law. All discovery has to be made public.
