Justice official says George Zimmerman unlikely to face federal charges
WASHINGTON — George Zimmerman is unlikely to face federal charges for killing black teenager Trayvon Martin because it would be difficult to prove he acted out of racial bias, Justice Department officials said Tuesday. . . .
But a successful federal prosecution of Zimmerman would require clear evidence that he set out to attack the unarmed Martin because he was black.
Although that is exactly what many Americans see in the fatal shooting of the 17-year-old, it can be very hard to prove in court, legal experts said. So far, prosecutors have not shown evidence that Zimmerman acted out of racial bias.
"I'd be very, very surprised if we took it," said one federal civil rights prosecutor, speaking anonymously because no decision had been made. "It's a very tough, tough case to sell" because of the lack of witnesses.
"The difficult element would be proving racial motivation beyond a reasonable doubt," said University of Michigan law professor Samuel Bagenstos, a former civil rights attorney in the Obama administration. "In most of these cases, you have someone who had made racial statements or you have a group who goes looking to attack a person based on their race."

This makes sense to me that Eric Holder may not give "justice" for Trayvon.
If you think about it, with the Zimmerman acquittal stirring the pot, all the low information voters are all worried that white hispanics will be using 0bama sons for target practice, Benghazi, the IRS, the NSA and all the other scandals are way off the radar. Plus as an added bonus it is one more reason to disarm all us creepy ass crackers.

1. I figured that
the President was not willing to use political capital on this, he's just waiting for things to cool down to issue an announcement in a weekend news dump.

Cool!
If I remember right, when the shooting was first being investigated, the cop who questioned Zimmerman said he didn't demonstrate any signs of racism or other malice.
-
Maybe they should be opening the investigation instead against all the justice for trayvon shitheads targeting white and Hispanic people...but why actually address REAL profiling and bias...
-
Was Snowden right after all? Has it become impossible in this country to actually receive a fair trial if it goes against the administration's interests? Are enough people going to look at this and feel outrage so there's no hope of it going any further after the 2016 election cycle?
This is really starting to make me nervous.

Unless George was a fortune teller and had spent years working on his alibi, I would say no means to prove racism.
1. George volunteer tutored black children for years prior.
2. George worked to get something done about an attack on a black homeless person.
3. George is just as black as 0bama is.

I still think Holder will find some sort of trumped up charges to file.
-
Well, gee, I do not think George Zimmerman will ever face federal charges.
-
Didn't the FBI investigate this before and determine there was no civil rights violation?

Yes, and then there is the NBC lawsuit thing. Like I said, this isn't going any farther I don't care who throws a fit. Credibility still remains more important than the leftist ego.

Obama and Holder knows damn well there is absolutely NO case, and will never actually file.
That said, they are using this debacle to ADVANCE the Obama agenda in many ways. Most notably is the fact that all the scandals are ignored, even by conservatives. In addition, Obama has rammed through en Executive Order that raised carbon taxes for coal well over their profitability, effectively killing the industry just as promised. Name one MSM outlet that even reported that.
In addition, the senate Nuclear Filibuster argument was conceded, and Obama is able to get all his Alinsky-level socialist friends nominated and confirmed without argument. This was another cave-in by the RINO-progressives in the republican party. (From now on, I don't use the term "RINO" without being attached to "Progressive" as their actions are more similar than RINO's with conservatives.)
This tragedy also gives the Obama media a built-in, long-running "crisis" to work with, where they will be able to come out with many stories that will denigrate conservatives.
The LAST thing Obama wants to do is to calm the populace, for he needs the media to divert attention from him. WATCH OBAMA AND CONGRESS CLOSELY DURING THIS TIME!

They won't prosecute it, but they'll definitely use it. An offhand remark here about dead teens and gun control, a snide observation there about Republicans and SYG laws, just enough to keep the pot stirred a little now and then.
:pokingpoop:

Read Zimmerman's bio. He's the opposite of a racist cop wannabe. It's a crime (maybe literally) how this guy was dragged through the mud.

Tutoring minority kids, taking the side of a homeless black man that was beaten by cops? He was just establishing his character alibi. :whistling:

The problem, as I see it, is: Would things be very different with a McCain, Grahmnesty, etc in the White House? I say, no. Sure, there wouldn't be a SOB like Clintonite Holder at DOJ (I hope), but the difference would be minimal. Without a Congress that stands like a rock against this crap, nothing will really change. And by that I mean SERIOUS investigations and actual charges against offenders. The patty cake that is going on now is simply ridiculous (duh). Perhaps, there are simply too many leftists to overcome right now and the drooling retards that still think Guam is going to tip over...OK, now the headache is back.....
I can't believe anyone on this planet is that stupid, regardless of education.

I really love how the DNC-tutored (D)U-bees are trying to turn that around and pass it off as he killed/beat-up (?) cops. You are getting your ass kicked by St. Trayvon of the Immaculate Skittles and now you can beat up cops?
Sure, sounds plausible..... :whatever:

No -- we did, via the VRWC Temporal Sciences Division.
Having GZ take an African American girl to the prom was a little special icing on the cake. Then we sent franksolich back to make certain Rachel Jeantel was in place after killing all the witnesses.

The only thing better, the cherry on top of the peach cobbler, would have been for Zim's wife (or ghey partner!) to be negro :racist:... er, coloured :racist:... black? :racist:... African American...?

And don't forget. Zimmerman is an OBAMA-VOTING DEMOCRAT!

The progressive collectivists in the GOP aren't RINOs. They are the Republican Party.
If you're conservative or libertarian and are registered as a Republican, you are the RINO now.

Holder will do nothing and Obama will use it as an opportunity to complain about the Constitution.

They'll go after SYG and CCW laws.

There is a very good chance the Kenyan will charge Zimmerman with some goofy civil rights charge, seat a black jury, and railroad him away to federal prison.

The true definition of a constitutional law professor.

Yes,this is all about establishing racism as the norm that the left is fighting and only arbiter of defining.

But the definition will shift according to the needs and agenda of the left.

Wonder if he's bright enough to reconsider that vote...

Talk about "voting against your own self-interest".

The tipline is another disguised attempt to harvest email addresses for minions to send money.
The ONLY reason that Obama and Holder are doing this is money. I just received an Organizing for America money request that indicated that my "donation" would be directed toward fixing justice in America. There is NO WAY they could have received this email address other than through the tipline.

He's been well mugged. According to my definition of a conservative he's well on his way.

I think this quote from the movie Silverado fits just right for what The Prezzy has in mind.
"We're gonna give you a fair trial, followed by a first class hanging. "
