FBI’s turned anti-American if they think they can flout the Fourteenth Amendment so willfully.

“Mr. Zimmerman could be punished by up to life in prison or even the death penalty,”

We are all George Zimmerman now!

I guess double jeopardy is now a big part of Holder’s Injustice Dept.

Assuming, as I do, that he shot Martin in self-defense, this is ridiculous. Is the goal to take away the right of self-defense?

“WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said federal prosecutors would have to prove the hate crime to charge Zimmerman, though.”

Oh, thanks for that brilliant analsis, sir. I never knew the burden of proof was on the prosecution before.

By the way, I don’t think you do have to prove anything to convict on a hate charge, actually. I don’t happen to think it’s possible to prove motive, which is one of the reasons why motive was never an element of crime before the Thought Police decided white people, and apparently hispanic-white people, deserved extra special punishment, and non-white people, but not hispanic people who are also white, are a protected class.

One could smell this coming a mile away. The charge will probably be consecutive rather than concurrent. The government can inflict the maximum damage on Zimmerman by filing consecutively and can achieve the sending a “message” to anyone resisting an assault by a black. Zimmerman is going to be convicted of something and shall probably suffer death while incarcerated.

Even the FBI has been infiltrated and rotted out by communists. Are there any truly American institutions left?

You can betchera$$ the feds are checking internet handles to check if he made any comments or visited ‘racist’ web sites. Only takes one person saying they heard him tell a racist joke and bang - Hate Crime!

"WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said federal prosecutors would have to prove the hate crime to charge Zimmerman, though.

If you read on, that's not what Sheaffer said. But, in any case, have the standards for "journalists" sunk so low that they no longer understand even the rudiments of our legal system. The prosecutor doesn't HAVE to PROVE ANYTHING in order to CHARGE a suspect. That's why we have trials. After charging him, the FBI may need to demonstrate it has a reasonable basis for the charge, but that is a long, long way from "proving the hate crime".

But this idiot's undereducated readers will now assume that if Zimmermann is charged then the case has been proved. Idiots!

Everything I ever needed to know about the FBI I learned from their f-inG actions at Ruby Ridge and Waco.

Welcome to the banana republic.

The FBI has now joined the lynch mob.

It won’t be long before we all will be arrested for “hate crimes.”

The next step is to make it a major hate crime to dislike liberals and progressives, along with Democrats. That will become a hate crime associated with felonious thought crimes.

It’s coming people. It’s a tide that won’t turn because we have lost the war against political correctness.

George Zimmerman is being punished for self-defense! A scapegoat for gun control. If he profiled anything it was thuggish, criminal behavior.

What a disgrace! This would work against pres. Jug Ears if George Zimmerman’s account got disseminated widely but I doubt it has. Most Americans have only heard the wailing and gnashing of teeth and BS from the Treyvon side

The FBI along with the race hustlers is making it hard to have a fair trial. Now the FBI will get into the race hustling biz...if they proceed with this hate crime jive

Dammit, I knew Zimmerman should’ve fled to Brazil when he had the chance, where he could’ve given Obama, Holder and whoever else the middle finger.

It's pitiful that this is what the FBI has been reduced to.

Methinks we've defined a new type of crime; "hate defense."

I am making an example of you, to send a message out to people everywhere: that if you want to hurt another human being, you'd better make damn sure they're the same color as you are!

(from an episode of South Park, where they hit the nail on the head.)

Based on what?

There is nothing to convict him of something like that, but this isn’t about justice.
