What Attorney General Eric Holder Just Said About the Zimmerman Case
GretaWire - Fox News ^ | Monday, July 15, 2013 | Reported by Jake Gibson

Posted on 07/15/2013 9:39:47 AM PDT by kristinn

Sent to me by FNC colleague Jake Gibson:

There are the AG’s remarks at today’s Delta Sigma Theta sorority convention that will address Trayvon Martin / George Zimmerman

Of course, as this celebration unfolds, we are also mindful of the pain felt by our nation surrounding the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida last year – and the state trial that reached its conclusion over the weekend. As parents, as engaged citizens, and as leaders who stand vigilant against violence in communities across the country, the Deltas are deeply, and rightly, concerned about this case. The Justice Department shares your concern – I share your concern – and, as we first acknowledged last spring, we have opened an investigation into the matter.

Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally-charged issues that this case has raised. We must not – as we have too often in the past – let this opportunity pass.

It’s not really about revenge either; it is about promoting the idea of revenge for personal and party gain. It’s the National Socialist Democrat Party way.

Let them investigate, accuse, prosecute GZ......the more the merrier and the bigger GZ lawsuit and settlement. Remember how adamant the martins were in the beginning that ths was racial profiling, hate crime? Just a little before the trial started Crump started walking back these accusations, “they never wanted this to be about race, it isn’t about race, they just want a fair trial”. Well they didn’t have a softening of the heart......Crump and the state if DUH knows they are in deep doodoo. They even have a Crump deposition.....that I bet buries everyone.

To show the sympathies of the Internet, elsewhere someone wrote of a new drink, called the “Trayvon Martini”.

1 part gin
1 part Arizona Iced Tea, watermelon flavor
1 few Skittles.

Someone else noted that gin would taste yucky with AIT-wf, so why not use vodka?

Then it would be a “Trayvon Gibson”.

He is not there to do the right thing. He will stay because he shields the Democratic party from criminal investigations.

Nah, they have that vote on lock more than any other vote from any group in this country.

This is about something else. This is about what Reverend Write preaches. Obama and Holder believe in his words.

“Why isn’t h0lder in a federal penitentiary?”

I have been wondering the same thing, ever since he ordered the burning to death or the children in Waco under Clinton.

Just heard Jesse Jackson on NH Public Radio (SIGINT Interception).

He wants the UN involved, and wants to change the court system so that the jury is made up of a “jury of peers” of the “victim” (i.e., Trayvon), in other words black juries for black victims.

I terminated the intercept before I threw up.

They are simply appeasing the black community...will stretch this out as long as possible.....and use it for all they can milk out of it...

Very very sad for Zimmermans....what the media and the black community are doing to them is beyond imagination ....horrible what’s happening!

Hey Eric.

As an attorney, and by the way the highest in the land, don’t you realize that the judicial process and jury found that this “ shooting death”
was due to “ self defense” and therefore “ justified”

“speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally-charged issues that this case has raised.”

So we are finally going to talk about the massive culture of criminality in the black “community”, and hugely disproportionate number of young black thugs like Trayvon?

Didn’t think so.

BS! I've never once seen a black person who used the tired cliche that "we need an honest conversation about race" that actually wanted an honest conversation about race. Their version of the honest conversation is more lecturing and excuses with any honesty from the other side being dismissed as racism.

We must not – as we have too often in the past – let this opportunity pass.

When have black agitators ever let an opportunity for this allegedly honest discussion about race pass? Hell, we had outrage and "the discussion" when a professor locked himself out of his house.
