I really hope this isn’t true.

“Enjoy the riots after he is found not guilty”

Unfortunately, this thing will be dragged out for years before the riots. Better just to not charge him and get the riots over with. After hearing about Casey Anthony for years, I’m not ready for another 3 year circus.

I hope Zimmerman got a new lawyer who is working in silence and secret.

I also hope the SP takes him into custody first, before announcing the charges.

But mostly I hope this “leak” is a ruse to fake out and reduce the crowd size for when she announces “no charges”.

Zimmerman is guilty of being white, and having killed a black who attacked him. Collectivists are determined to not allow this to be a “good shoot” because they dread Americans being willing to defend their lives.

This Prosecutrix is a de facto collectivist.

Holder should have been indicted first.

Rediculous! How can she charge him knowing it will be hard to convict him with a jury! It was self defense. This is going to be a bigger mess then it already has been. Good grief!

ANGELA COREY IS A COWARD

ILLEGAL BOUNTIES AND POLICE STATION CLOSURES WIN.

WHEN ARE THE CHARGES COMING AGAINST THE NBPP?

There goes the neighborhood... watch! Forget about being involved in protecting your neighborhood, ain't worth it... every man for himself...

They will charge him with something like willful negligent homicide, simply by being a neighborhood watch-men with a gun... they will argue that if he had no gun, he would not have been embolden to "actively persue" Trayvon, even though Trayvon took the offensive and assaulted Zimmerman. They will likely get a conviction too... ain't no jury going to acquit, not against the threat of riots in the streets.

Now the Martins can sue the HOA and the city of Sanford based on Florida law. It’s about the money! Believe me! Doesn’t require a conviction, merely an arrest.

Good; only; inasmuch as the speed our wheels of 'Justice' move (Col. Hassan has gone to trial, right?) and at which time; case could be dropped etc. . .

This will/should, perhaps, keep, Zimmerman off the front page until well after Election. Could help put that 'race war' on hold. (OTOH)

Do think his lawyers and family must know he is safe; otherwise; they would be fearing - per his 'disappearance'- for his life.

It is my understanding that without a grand jury there can be no capital murder charge.

What do you think would happen if he was “taken in” by the SP? Do you really think he would survive in jail??? I hope he’s left the country.

“In what I believe is a race war, the other side won this battle.”

A race war no doubt.

Here we have Obama and Holder dictating a Florida prosecutor to indict Capt. Zimmerman based entirely on racist hatred.

If he goes to trial, Capt. Zimmerman will be found not guilty as juries tend not to convict law enforcement heroes for actions taken while on duty.
