No federal charges against Zimmerman for slaying of Trayvon Martin
The hysteria after the acquittal of George Zimmerman on the grounds of self-defense for the murder of Trayvon Martin was appalling. It was a toned-down version of the presumption-of-guilt hysteria that used to lead to the lynching of black suspects. Now, Obama's left-leaning DOJ will shortly announce that after an extensive investigation they will not file criminal charges against Zimmerman. If they can't find a basis for charges, no one can. Let's all try to remember the larger principles at work here that transcend our national racial issues.

Agreed.
ReplyDelete44: Thanks. Le'ts hope this is the last we hear about George. If anything negative happens, no matter how trivial, the media will be on it in a heartbeat. Anything positive, of course, will not be deemed newsworthy.
