NAACP calls on Obama admin to pursue civil rights charges against Zimmerman

http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/sharpton-slap-face-those-who-be...

Sharpton: 'Slap in the Face to Those Who Believe in Justice in This Country'

"Well, I think that this is an atrocity," said Sharpton. "I think that it is probably one of the worst situations that I've seen. What this jury has done is establish a precedent that when you are young and fit a certain profile, you can be committing no crime, just bringing some Skittles and iced tea home to your brother, and be killed and someone can claim self-defense having been exposed with all kinds of lies, all kinds of inconsistencies. ... Even at trial when he is exposed over and over again as a liar, he is acquitted. This is a sad day in the country. 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. Clearly, we want people to be disciplined, strategic. But this is a slap in the face to those that believe in justice in this country."

Civil rights leaders seek new charges against Zimmerman

The NAACP website featured an online petition -- also posted on the liberal site MoveOn.org -- asking the Justice Department to bring federal charges against Zimmerman in the February 2012 fatal shooting of 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," the petition says. "We ask that the Department of Justice file civil rights (criminal) charges against Mr. Zimmerman for this egregious violation."

Justice Department spokeswoman Dena Iverson issued a statement Sunday saying federal prosecutors were continuing to review evidence in the case, including testimony from the state trial.

"Prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction, and whether federal prosecution is appropriate," Iverson said.

Barbara Arnwine, executive director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, pressed for those charges, blasting the state verdict as a "tragic miscarriage of justice." She also urged Trayvon's family to pursue a civil lawsuit. usatoday

Metro Detroit civil rights advocates call for federal inquiry into Trayvon Martin case

“Clearly, Trayvon Martin’s civil rights were violated,” said Ron Scott, spokesman for the Detroit Coalition Against Police Brutality. “He had the most basic human right, the right to life, and that was taken away.”

from - Mike Rivero

People misunderstand the concept of double jeopardy. Zimmerman cannot be tried a second time for Manslaughter or 2nd Degree Murder, but there is no rule against other charges, in this case civil rights violations, being brought against him. However, despite rumor and innuendo and screams from the NAACP, there is in fact no official word from the Obama administration regarding civil rights charges being filed at this time. That does not mean such charges won;t be filed in this PR circus, but let us not get ahead of ourselves.

Hey Mike, Aloha!

Meanwhile no War Crimes levied against Mr. Drone.

No Treason charges for arming the very Al Qaeda/Al-Nusra/Rebel's/FSA/NTC terrorst's in violation of International laws, Patriot Acts, NDAA & Lugar-Obama Act. Like the Shadow Government of Oliver North fame, Afghan drugs up 800% after Taliban eradicated them in 2001 to buy more "Freedom Fighters" [proxy army] GUNS/ARMs away from all congressional oversight.

This while its US POLICY to murder all males of military age and Children too. Saying 7 year old children are demolitions experts able to assemble, arm and plant IEDs by proxy for the Taliban whom Biden said wasn't an enemy of the US.
