Hey, an AG has to have priorities! -
That is the craziest shit I've ever heard of. Setting up an email address for tips on this guy? Probably a federal offense to spam that email box too ? They may as well drag his ass to the nearest tree and hang him, they're just out for a lynching now.
This is gonna backfire. Hardworking people like the average Joe's on this site aren't gonna stand for this shit.Comment

Meanwhile, the punks who shot a baby in the face? No comment. The guys who lit a white kid on fire because he's white? No civil rights charges.I wear a Fez. Fez-es are coolComment

ORLANDO, Fla -- U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that it's time to question laws that expand self-defense - such as Florida's "stand-your-ground law" - in the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal.
A day after he called Trayvon Martin's death "unnecessary," Holder told people at a national convention of the NAACP that such laws can be dangerous and that the federal government plans to do a thorough investigation into the Feb. 26, 2012 fatal shooting.
"It's time to question laws that senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods," said Holder, of stand-your-ground laws. "These laws try to fix something that was never broken. There has always been a legal defense for using deadly force if – and the 'if' is important – no safe retreat is available."
A jury in Sanford, Fla., found Zimmerman, 29, not guilty of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the fatal shooting of Trayvon, 17. Zimmerman, a Hispanic neighborhood watch volunteer, claimed self-defense. State prosecutors said Zimmerman profiled and murdered Trayvon--then lied about initiating the fight.
A federal investigation into the death of Trayvon was opened last year and prosecutors from the Justice Department's civil rights division will review evidence from the FBI and the Florida criminal trial.
Holder said it's time collectively resolve to combat gun violence to prevent future tragedies. He added that after Trayvon's death he talked to his teen son about how to interact with police and others as a black man. Holder's father had the same conversation with Holder.
"I had to do this to protect my boy," Holder said. "We must confront the underlying attitudes, mistaken beliefs, and unfortunate stereotypes that serve too often as the basis for police action and private judgments."
The cabinet member added that people have the right through peaceful protests, rallies, and vigils to have responsible debates and avoid violence.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius also addressed the shooting of Trayvon Martin at the NAACP's national convention.
"The death of Trayvon Martin was tragedy for his family and his community but it's also a tragedy for our country," Sebelius said. "But so are the tragedies of all the children we lost because of gun violence before and since Trayvon Martin."
She said officials are praying and respect their call for "calm reflection." People should reflect on how to prevent future tragedies such as mass school shootings and daily violence on street corners.
She added that President Obama hasn't given up on "common sense" gun actions, Sebelius said.
Holder in his speech a few minutes later gave concerted reasons why he wants to look into self-defense laws.
"By allowing—and perhaps encouraging—violent situations to escalate in public, such laws undermine public safety," Holder said.

As far as I can tell there is no reason at all that this case should have, or should continue to receive national attention. There are many other crimes / court cases that should be in the spotlight above this one. Pure sensationalism at its worst.Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostComment

Didn't someone post on here that the DOJ had sent people down to FL & spent taxpayer $ to stir up shit? Found with a Freedom of Information Act request? Seems to me that would shoot anything the DOJ decides to try to do to GZ about civil rights.
