Wait just a minute, are you trying to imply that the media would hide something from us? Perish the thought!
On another note, has any more been heard about that militia group that was going to travel to Florida to arrest him?
Anything more about the militia group going to arrest Zimmerman? From all reports that I hear, it is more like there has been a bounty placed on Zimmerman by the new black panther party of $1,000,000.00 for his "Capture"
This has now crossed the line to INSANITY.
I have been waiting for more of the facts to come out and some have as best as i know them to be. Zimmerman come to find out is not a white guy as his name would lead one to believe. He is Hispanic (not that there is anything wrong with that at all) he was doing his neighborhood watch thing, saw a suspicious person post several break ins in his gated community.... Challenged someone that obviously didnt belong there, followed to observe and report for the Police - went back to his truck - and apparently as the police report suggests, was ATTACKED, and physically outmatched assaulted and in fear of GBH and/or Death. This was in the POLICE REPORT.
The DA has not charged Zimmerman with any crime, yet. One could assume based upon this undenyable fact, the basic criteria for the use of force was fulfilled at least on some level. This is all that we really know.
I am not a lawyer, I have no skin in this game other than I am in a situation out here where there is a lot of racial tension to begin with, I am vastly outnumbered, ride public transit in a place where self defense is ILLEGAL (you heard me), now I am worried for my safety. That being said, IMHO the DA needs to STEP UP and quash this nonsense, present the facts and disarm this potentially volatile situation.
This is race baiting, and the start of a bad thing and needs to be handled. The president and the justice department needs to STAY OUT OF THIS. They are NOT helping, to the contrary, it is making all of this worse.
The last time that I checked - placing a bounty on a private citizen is highly unacceptable and likely a felonious act of inciting violence and unrest. The Justice Department failed to quash the New Black Panther Party the first time, now they are letting them intimidate everyone on a much larger scale again.
This is not a black/white issue - it is a right and wrong issue with people knee jerking and running with a torch that is not even lit.
Scary world and getting scarier.
