Washington Post reports:

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department said Sunday it is looking into the shooting death of Trayvon Martin to determine whether federal prosecutors will file criminal civil rights charges now that George Zimmerman has been acquitted in the state case.

The department opened an investigation into Martin’s death last year but stepped aside to allow the state prosecution to proceed.

In a statement, the Justice Department said the criminal section of its civil rights division, the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Middle District of Florida are continuing to evaluate the evidence generated during the federal probe, in addition to the evidence and testimony from the state trial.

Boy, does that take you back! Like, to Mississippi Burning.

Is this a good or bad idea, do you think?
 
I think it's a "duh" idea. Of course they should, no question.
 
Apparently, in Florida he can now seek immunity to prevent the family from suing him, and if he wins, he can ask for attorney's fees, from them.....
 
Politically the time to do this was months ago. Zimmerman got off, we get to live with it at this point.

The Feds always wait until the local ajh is done. Except when the target is specifically Fed, re OKCity.
 
LOL this is fucking hysterical...


What civil rights charges??? Zim did it b/c he hates black people?

Prove it.....:D

You think the feds have something other than a victims word against a dead assailant??? LOL MAGICAL FEDERAL EVIDENCE!!!:rolleyes:

The only thing they can do is get another jury of moms and try the emo appeal one last time. That's it..that's all they got.

The problem is that this is political at this point. If the Feds do anything it's because Obama is looking out for his brothers. He and by proxy the Feds simply can't touch this. It sucks but that's the reality of things.

How so? Obama doesn't have to worry about reelection at this point.

No but most of the DNC does.....and they all know it's political suicide (except CA, D could win advocating genocide against the white devil out there) if they try and send this guy to jail based on nothing more than emotional appeal of the public, esp on a federal level.

You're done B...it's ova!;)

Bollocks. DNC isn't touched.
 
I think it's unlikely to happen because of the ambiguity of the case. Whatever you believe about Zimmerman, and I think he's a scumbag, this was hardly Mississippi Burning, which was essentially terrorism abetted by an apartheid government.

The party can't afford the damage. Also I think I heard a fart. That is the only sound someone should hear from an asshole like Bot right?
 
Naaah. Obama has lotsa your money, and Zimmerman has no money. Obama wants to bankrupt George.

More importantly the GOP wont lift a finger for George, and that's what Obama wants people to see...that's theres no balls under the RINO skirt.

fuck it, why not.. he deserves some time in the bin

LOL....hang zim on a federal level for civil rights and I promise you the DNC won't hold any power for a very long time.

Do it...every RW supporter out there is saying "I FUCKIN' DARE YEWWWWWWWWWW!!! NEENER NEENER NEENER!!"

Oh but the american left is trying to make it that soooooooooo hard....they are doing everything they can to will it.
 
I don't think they'll do it and, if they do, it will be another waste of everybody's time and money. It was pretty much established at the first trial that it was self-defense. Even some of the prosecution witnesses testified to that, although not deliberately.
 
Hmm. I'm wondering if there is actually a fourth amendment case here. Might be interesting legally.
