USBC News ^ | 2013,07,16 | USBC News Wire

Posted on 07/16/2013 10:55:19 AM PDT by swampthang77

Despite the recent acquittal of George Zimmerman, the United States Attorney General, Eric Holder, has suggested he may have the Department of Justice push a federal investigation focused on criminal civil rights charges against Zimmerman, despite earlier reports that investigations of the incident by the FBI failed to find any evidence of “racial bias” by Zimmerman before the shooting. ... Holder seemed to confirm a desire to pursue further charges against Zimmerman, stating “We must not — as we have too often in the past — let this opportunity pass.”

People of all races across the political spectrum have found Eric Holder’s response offensive...

If Holder does this in the face of an FBI investigation that ALREADY found nothing wrong then the GOP had better remove him from office immediately

These a-holes are on track to get the race war they desire.

Hey Eric,

When are you going to call for a ban on Home Alarm Systems??

I mean, they’re just RACIST, right? - white suburbanites have them installed for the sole purpose of keeping out people of color.

After all, what you’re saying now is essentially, “Whites have NO right to look out and protect their own homes, neighborhoods, etc...”

Get real about it or shut up. Ban ALL personal protection by white people.

Holder is a typical, black race hustler, pouring gasoline onto the fire. He is an ideological idiot who can’t take stock of his position and responsibilities, and rise above his self-inflicted ignorance. This is his chance to matter where he thinks it counts.

Let Holder do what ever he wants. But he’ll eventually run into the brick wall of the FBI and the Sanford police Department having already investigated this angle and found no hint of racism or violation of civil rights.

If this has any meaning...

--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men,
deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --

... then we became a banana republic on Nov. 6, 2012 when the American people re-elected the most lawless president this nation has ever seen.

I hope like h-e-double-hockey-sticks that O’Mara has told Zimmerman to NOT talk to the FBI or any other investigators. If Holder can pull a Scooter Libby on Zimmerman, he will.

Holder must show: CLASS BASED ANIMUS UNDER COLOR OF LAW

Holder can’t and he will look foolish if he tries.

Eric Holder has replaced Al Sharpton as the Grand Wizard of the Black Ku Klux Klan

This is double jeopardy...and outright Black Ku Klux Klan racism

Zimmerman is innocent

It would be a stupid move, almost surely destined to fail. Yet something tells me Obama and Holder cannot help themselves.

When two full-grown men get into a fight, there is a fairly good chance one of them is going to die as a result. That is the long and the short of it.

I had an acquaintance once who went up on 2nd. degree Murder charges. Got into a fight outside a bar and smacked the guy square on the jaw. He flew back and hit his head on the curb. Suffered a hemorrhage and died. Pled self-defense and the jury acquitted him. Not too different from the Zimmermann case IMO.

This is his chance to matter where he thinks it counts (now that he's known as a screwup WRT the Rosen, AP incidences).

Pallis nails it. Holder seems to have an unnatural preoccupation w/ displaying his gonads. Guy's a flasher--- needs professional care...and a raincoat (/snix).

FIRST FLASH---Who can forget? The very first thing Holder did as AG was to tell us we were a nation of cowards WRT race.....putdown cheered on by America-hating Obama, of course.

On FR the other day on another thread, we were discussing whether or not Holder would be just grandstanding for a while on this, keeping his troops of primarily low-information black youths and young adults hopeful and happy, while knowing that the facts and history of the state criminal case would indicate that prosecuting Zimmerman on federal charges would be impossible.

Unfortunately, things are so radicalized in the Obama-Holder (In)Justice Dept., especially the Civil Rights Division, that no one can rule out getting a rubber-stamp federal "civil rights" indictment against Zimmerman and putting him on trial again.

They don’t want a “race war” per se.

They want to provoke “whitey” into responding to provocation so that they have an excuse to step in and use the force of the State to murder their political opponents.

Murder of political opponents is historically inherent in leftist ideology.

I let go of any shadow of a doubt that 0bama was not an ultra-radical Marxist anti-American in the summer of 2009 when he attacked the legitimate due processes of law occurring in Honduras at that time. The only other true constitutional republic that I am aware of. All of my suspicions were written in stone by that.
