Grand jury assembling in civil-rights case involving George Zimmerman

This isn't an Obama issue. It's a product of our split jurisdictional system where both the Feds and the states can bring charges. It's been going on for years.

While it may be a product as you say, it is still a result of Obama through the acts of Holder.
It pretty much is a black white issue being pursued by him. Racist?

It's an Eric Holder thing, which makes it an Obama issue.

In this specific instance yes. But this type of thing has been going since long before Obama was elected.

This I agree with. I don't blame Obama for this although he did nothing to stop the fostering of the atmosphere. This is a Holder issue IMO.

I agree:

Unless there is evidence that Zimmerman is a dogmatic rascist, and there is none, making a case that hesought to violate Martin's civil rights on account of his race is nearly impossible. The charges should never have been placed.


I disagree:

Zimmerman is a willfull idiot who was going to do something stupid with a weapon sooner than later. Being a willfull idiot does not make Zimmerman a rascist and does not make him guilty of murder. It does, however, reduce my sympathy for him.

If we tried to lock up all of the willful idiots, there wouldn't be enough prisons. Come to think of it, there already aren't enough prisons for the people that the authorities want to keep locked up.
