Zimmerman, cleared in Trayvon Martin death

[Oscar Knight]

Civil rights leaders including Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Benjamin Jealous, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, urged the Justice Department to pursue federal civil rights charges against Zimmerman.

Jealous said Martin's family may bring a civil suit against Zimmerman but said federal criminal charges must be filed because evidence suggests race was a factor in the case.

....."Civil Suit" and "Federal Criminal Charges"

.......I don't know about Florida's "Stand Your Ground Law" ( No duty to retreat )....But I do know about Georgia's Law, and no civil charges can be filed if a person is found not guilty. Placing a person on trial twice, for the same crime, is against The U.S. Constitution.

Why this verdict?

Five things that led to Zimmerman's acquittal

Second-degree murder is defined as a killing carried out with hatred, ill will or spite, but is not premeditated. To convict Zimmerman of manslaughter, jurors would have had to believe he "intentionally committed an act or acts that caused the death of Trayvon Martin."

Questions surfaced about whether the charge was appropriate because knowing a person's feeling during a killing is difficult to prove.

As a result, the prosecution had to rely on the evidence to tell the story of what happened and what led to the shooting, HLN's Ryan Smith said.

Without an abundance of evidence, proving the case was difficult for both sides.

....This case is an example when Law Enforcement Fails and our Courts Fails to control our rising crime rates, leaving it into the hands of community watchdogs. How can our civilized society begin to place the blame, of this dysfunctional flaw, on one single person ?

....Is Oprah using racism to promote her new movie ?.....If this is so, then, that would make her another Race Hustler.

Published on Aug 15, 2013

August 15, 2013 --- Oprah Talks Trayvon, Race on CNN: "People Think If They Don't Use the 'N-Word' They're 'Not Racist"--- Oprah Winfrey and her co-star in Lee Daniels' The Butler Forest Whitaker appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 Thursday night to promote their film. During the interview, Anderson Cooper asked Winfrey to relate the historical themes of the movie to the modern day struggles for African-Americans, including the Trayvon Martin case.

....Is this what Oprah desires ? :

King Samir Shabazz is best known for bringing a billy club to a North Philly polling place in 2008, which sparked a federal probe.

KING SAMIR SHABAZZ says black people should create militias to exterminate whites, skin them alive, pour acid on them, sic pit bulls on them, bust their heads with rocks and even raid nurseries to "kill everything white in sight."

"I would love nothing more than to come home with a cracker's head in my book bag," Shabazz, a Philly street preacher and national field marshal for the New Black Panther Party, said on a black-power radio show.

Such sentiment hasn't gotten him arrested.

But allegedly carrying a gun did.
