WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Justice Department says it is looking into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin to determine whether federal prosecutors should file criminal civil rights charges now that George Zimmerman has been acquitted in the state case.

I had the same thought — but will “they” let him get a passport?
The problem with this country s that the asshats running the country aren’t afraid of pissing US off! Maybe we should riot once i a while and burn down a ghetto every once in a while...
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a media list. Please ping me if you find one.
only up to your post, but the thought struck me.
Maybe this is why the good parents stuck in those hell holes don’t trust “the man”.
If I had to live there, raise my children there, and saw no effort to stop the gangs and the violence - why would I trust the “system”?
We ask a lot of the innocent people there to “believe” way more than we would, if we were in their shoes.
Might it be time for political asylum for those decent parents wanting to get out? Maybe it is time for us to think about what we could do to help them?
the system is rotted by leftists - 6 jurors defied the system this time
About a year ago, the FBI conducted a 3-month long “parallel investigation” into the incident.
Its conclusion [a year to the day] BEFORE yesterday’s verdict was that it WAS NOT racially motivated.
My little Jay Carney puppet here says, "That was a long time ago.... we're going to need another investigation..."
I like it. But I'm sitting here watching a protest crowd in NYC on Judge Janine's show, and it made me think of something. IMHO, we should be very careful to avoid making it all about Z. It would be portrayed in the media as white racists who are irrationally clinging to Bible and guns, blah, blah, blah.
This is about Barack Hussein 0bama and the loss of our Constitution, a grievance MUCH bigger than a white-hispanic man who is being persecuted unfairly for lawfully defending himself. Obama would love it if "Support-Z" crowds gathered and attracted every right-leaning Nutwing in the country. That's right out of his Playbook, I'm sure.
Have i ever mentioned how i don't like being manipulated?!
Well, you've obviously been here long enough to catch the spirit!
Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad! These Marxists would have NEVER gotten this far along if they were up against the early Texians, a mix of brave Anglos from all over America and freedom-loving Mexicans living in Tejas. Just ask Santa Anna!
Zimmerman’s been mentoring young black kids for years so they’re going to have a difficult time proving this...additionally the FBI already investigated and said there was nothing indicating he was even remotely racist.....he also assisted a black man who was beaten up by a white kid. So this is once again all show...and to satisfy the black community that refuses to accept the truth.
“Thats silly talk. Hes immune from civil prosecution in Florida, and thanks to our Constitution hes immune from Federal prosecution on the same charges.”
In the LA riots, the Rodney King riots, the police were acquitted in their state criminal trial, then tried in Fed Court on civil rights charges.

Apples and oranges.
** Cops in King’s trial were government agents
** There was much more evidence against, and real controversy, in the King trial
He should have no problem traveling abroad unless and until the Feds get an indictment against him. He really is a free man from that standpoint.
Saw same program. There’s a much bigger picture thoughts have been popping into head all day. Let me sleep on it. Freepmail tomorrow
More and more libs now demanding the release of the jurists names, addresses, etc., and that they and their families be hunted down and punished by any and all means necessary.
This country is so far gone. There are black people shooting other blacks and groups of blacks harming innocent whites every single day yet they want to make such an example of this Hispanic man as to not stop until he is either harmed or sent to prison. And all for standing up to a thug who was attempting to kill him. GOD FORBID that a white man defend his life against a black one but no we have the black community now saying stuff like “What next are they going to bring back slavery” and “It’s now a crime to be black and walking around someone’s neighbrhood. F**k them! How many white people have been attacked walking through a frigging black neighborhood. They are such hypocrites with double standards! I hope George Zimmerman sues the pants off people and retires in another, better country with loads of cash. And I hope the good Lord somehow opens the eyes of these loathsome people.
Amen. I don’t have much to spare but I would donate what I can and join whatever event gets organized because this is bigger than just one man now.
It’s about time we did.
Why don’t you start a petition to ask the Florida States Attorney to publicly apologize to Zimmerman. After all, he claimed from the beginning that he was the one attacked.
The Martin kid, attacking a man with a gun, was probably not very smart.
Alan Dershowitz said today that it was nothing in the world but a self-defense case that should have never been brought to trial. He said talk of trying Zimmerman for violating Martin’s “civil rights” is laugable. He goes on to say that Zimmerman’s civil rights were violated repeatedly by
Angela Corley, who withheld evidence from the defense and brought 2nd degree murder charges against a man that SHE KNEW would be found innocent for lack of evidence. He goes on to say she should be disbarred for gross misconduct.
