Feds May Go After George Zimmerman

Maybe you spent the weekend in a cave and don't know that George Zimmerman was found not guilty of killing Trayvon Martin. It was the right call considering the evidence and a

George Zimmerman

law in Florida which says you can use deadly force if you fear for your life as George apparently did. The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. We all grieve for his parents, as no parent should have to lose a child. But in this case the law as written is on the side of George Zimmerman.

So, Zimmerman goes free and gets on with his life, right? Wrong! Here comes the NAACP claiming injustice for

Trayvon Martin

Trayvon, who was black. They whine to Eric Holder and the Department of Justice asking the DOJ to continue to investigate Mr. Zimmerman. Read More: DOJ To Go After Zimmerman


Politics got thrown into the mix when Barack Obama jumped into the fray way back when, when he said, "If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon." Click the video:

 Sorry, Mr. President. It not only wasn't your place to prejudice the case with that kind of statement, it was out of line. Just as it's now out of line for the DOJ to go after Zimmerman on possible civil rights violations. If the situation were reversed and Zimmerman was killed by Trayvon Martin, would the DOJ be questioning if Zimmerman's civil rights were violated? I think not. Somehow it never seems to work that way. 
After the verdict, the president issued the following statement:

“The death of Trayvon Martin was a tragedy. Not just for his family, or for any one community, but for America. I know this case has elicited strong passions. And in the wake of the verdict, I know those passions may be running even higher. But we are a nation of laws, and a jury has spoken. I now ask every American to respect the call for calm reflection from two parents who lost their young son. And as we do, we should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to widen the circle of compassion and understanding in our own communities. We should ask ourselves if we’re doing all we can to stem the tide of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. We should ask ourselves, as individuals and as a society, how we can prevent future tragedies like this. As citizens, that’s a job for all of us. That’s the way to honor Trayvon Martin.”
This president CANNOT make a statement without politicizing it! Despite Mr. Zimmerman resorting to using a gun to defend his life, Obama has to bring the gun control issue up. Despicable! He would have been better off just keeping quiet.

But back to the DOJ and George Zimmerman.......

The NAACP seems to forget that, while overwhelming evidence to the contrary, O.J. Simpson was found not guilty in 1995 of murdering his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. I don't remember an

O.J. Simpson

outcry then that Ms. Simpson's and Mr. Goldman's civil rights were violated. If their had been, and Mr. Holder was sitting in his lofty chair at DOJ, I doubt he would have tried to nail O.J. on a civil rights violation. Goodness gracious, the NAACP would have cried foul! 



Mr. Zimmerman needs to be left alone.
