Whether they actually "take out Whitey" or not is a secondary concern.

True enough.

The Arch Criminal marxist Holder and his comrades are determined to incite race riots and gin up black votes for the orange faggot Charlie Crist.

Funny thing is this Holder thinks a Right Wing controlled DOJ won’t have the balls to put him away for about 25 years for all of the crimes he has committed while in office.

We’ll see.

Everyone will be watching this. Everyone!

If there is even a hint of unfairness, there will be a lot of unhappy people.

Any action whatsoever would be unfairness. The Constitution forbids double jeopardy. The federal government bringing a charge at this point, even for just cause, would violate that. It would be just cause to damn the United States of America Obama Regime!

No their just trying to put Georges life and liberty again on trial for the same offence.

Don’t you just love how the leftist article frames the debate to convict the man by implying he simply shot an unarmed man. Not an unarmed man beating him on the ground.

Democrats love to omit the truth in the name of propagating a story to play into their race hating narrative.

Sorry but even minorities have to respect the golden rule. If you don’t want to risk getting shot don’t go attacking and beating up strangers. Its really not an unreasonable thing to ask to not knock someone on the ground get on top them and beat them with in an inch of their life.

He as. Him and his then wife also tutored Black children in their home. He and his family were and may still be Democrats. But this did not stop or hinder the spawn of Satan, a/k/a the Democrat Party from making political hay when the opportunity presented itself.

I’m with you on not wanting to move to Peru. However if it came down to living in prison in the United States, which it has, when remains the only unanswered question, I would opt to living free in Peru. Florida’s own Attorney general, the one and only Pam Bondi led the charge to lynch him.

Yes a lot of us are patiently waiting with bated breath.

I see this as no different than when liberals called Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom in my local newspaper many years ago and nothing was said.

Justice and fairness are what I believe in in spite of skin color.

This is a ‘get out the vote’ ploy by white liberal elites. If blacks vote the elites in THIS time they REALLY will get their ‘piece of the pie’... Really, this the time ... it’s gonna happen... really... not like the other 50 times they promised... /s LOL...

Apparently, there are more Kangaroos in Orlando outside of Disneyworld and the local Zoo.

George Zimmerman, Enemy of the State, just like that Police Officer if Ferguson.

Obama violates my Civil Rights every day. Where is the Justice?
