So Zimmerman is charged with 2nd degree murder.

[naynay]

The last cop that pulled me over listed me a Hispanic on the ticket... but he also had the wrong DL number, wrong address, and had my car listed as a 2013 Ford Escort on there.

Ford hasn't made the Escort since 2003.....

The NAACP, the Rev. Jesse Jackson and other civil rights activists are calling on the U.S. Department of Justice and Attorney Gen. Eric Holder to press federal civil rights charges against George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watchman who was acquitted by a Sanford, Fla., jury Saturday in the shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

“The most fundamental of civil rights — the right to life — was violated the night George Zimmerman stalked and then took the life of Trayvon Martin," NAACP President Ben Jealous wrote in a letter to Holder shortly after the verdict was announced. "We ask that the Department of Justice file civil rights charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation. Please address the travesties of the tragic death of Trayvon Martin by acting today.”

“This verdict represents a tragic miscarriage of justice," Barbara Arnwine, president of the Washington, D.C.-based Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, said in a statement. "Yet, there is still the potential for justice to be served through a civil suit brought about by Trayvon Martin’s surviving family members, and also through civil rights charges being brought against Mr. Zimmerman by the Department of Justice."

The Justice Dept. launched a probe of the Zimmerman case last year, but has yet to comment on Zimmerman's acquittal.

“If we find evidence of a potential federal criminal civil rights crime, we will take appropriate action," Holder said in 2012 during a keynote speech to Al Sharpton's National Action Network convention. "And at every step, the facts and law will guide us forward.”

But Holder, the nation's first African-American attorney general, cautioned in subsequent comments that there is a “very high barrier” when seeking to bring federal criminal charges in such cases, TheHill.com noted.

A Justice Department official told CNN late Saturday night that it "continues to evaluate the evidence generated during the federal investigation, as well as the evidence and testimony from the state trial."

On Sunday, Jackson called on the Justice Department to "intervene" and “take this to another level.”

"I remain stunned at the decision," Jackson said on CNN's "New Day." "That the grown man, armed, murdered the unarmed boy going home."

"I think that we clearly must move on to the next step in terms of the federal government and in terms of the civil courts," Sharpton said on MSNBC Saturday. "Clearly, we want people to be disciplined, strategic. This is a slap in the face to those that believe in justice in this country."

They're still flat out ignoring the evidence and testimonies. Disgraceful and they're blinded by their own racism.

now its time to get FUCKING rich from NBC. Well played sir. Get rid o the scum of the earth and secure your legacy. Sit a year in Jail no big deal.

I'm really hoping for Mesquite Riots...I believe my .308 would straighten up about 100% of the rioters within a 1 mile radius once I get on the roof. :-)

How do we get rid of racism? Morgan Freeman said "we stop talking about it." I agree with him. I keep hearing people talk about what if their races were reversed and how different this case would have been. But if this case involved two whites or blacks (or Latino), would it have ever been televised. Would anyone even care?

I've seen so many errors on Texas DLs that it isn't funny. I've seen blacks listed as whites and vice versa, Hell, I just got a Texas All-water fishing license and the clerk swiped my DL for the info, and it listed my eyes as BRO when they have been blue my entire life.

Or, he could have been helping you out.

So you condone cold blooded murder?

If so, why do you have issue with what just happened with Trayvon?


Oh that's right, you are racist.

Ummm, that .308 won't reach a mile effectively.
