Of course they did.

They can look all they want, there is NO basis for a so-called "hate crime". Even if Zimmerman was stalking Martin, police and Zimmerman's phone records show otherwise.

If the FBI is reduced to such nonsense, then it needs to be downsized. Obviously, too many bureaucrats in the organization.

FBI = PC

The FL prosecution is waiting for the FBI to charge the hate crime so they can go ahead with a First Degree Murder charge.

[grundle]

He's facing a second-degree murder charge, which carries a maximum possible sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. But if Zimmerman is charged and found guilty of a federal hate crime involving murder, he could face the death penalty.

As a libertarian, I am against the death penalty. I do not have enough confidence in government to trust it with such a thing.

This shows that liberals are hypocrites. They always claim to be against the death penalty. But now that someone may have committed the "crime" of being a racist, liberals want him to get the death penalty - not for the murder itself - but for being a racist who committed murder.

If they do they’ll break him financially. It could cost millions to defend himself. The government has unlimited funding and is absolutely political.

Think how quickly the FBI went from being the keystone cops of law enforcement to being the most respected law enforcement agaency in the world to being a political tool? We’re talking less than a four decades.

Government in the hands of anyone is dangerous. We need to return to Constitutional government at every level.

To all:

Be cool. Don’t take any political/social bait. Just watch the picture show, and drive on.

If the FBI charges him with a hate crime - the 'talk' everyone's been wanting about race will happen. And it won't just be nutty black extremest doing the talking - or their crazy liberal elite counterparts...

Might be time for the 'black community to hear from some honest white people... and some honest black people...

Also, if the FBI does this as a PC witch hunt, they'll be throwing their credibility away faster than NBC doctoring tapes of Zimmerman...

Obama needs a show trial before the election. Poor Mr. Zimmerman is it. Stalin, for example, found them quite useful in the ‘30’s.

[Prole]

The Fumbling Bumbling Idiots evidently represent an organization comparable to the Stazi, SS and KGB. What are they going to do next? Arrest a handicapped white woman because she tried to outrun a black mugger in her wheelchair? Bunch of worthless @ssholes.
