In this case, it is the politicization of the case. A local criminal matter has been elevated to a federal matter by an administration eager to court favor with its political base. If the possible murder of one citizen by another in a State whose courts and criminal justice arms are functioning is suddenly a federal crime, anything can be. This is just another example of over-reaching by the federal government, especially because the media attention has moved the State and local authorities to perform their respective duties.Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02067844122370343813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-81407562445042608152012-03-26T10:43:54.747-04:002012-03-26T10:43:54.747-04:00The police report the night of the crime was that ...The police report the night of the crime was that Zimmerman was briefly questioned, then let go. The city manager was interviewed last week, after the city council's no-confidence vote in the police chief, saying that the city police had not questioned him further. The city manager was hopeful that state and perhaps federal justice officials could get the local police to conduct a more thorough investigation.Gruntledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864860607925412103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-44591681586760678762012-03-26T09:35:40.095-04:002012-03-26T09:35:40.095-04:00You don't know that he was barely questioned. ...You don't know that he was barely questioned.

If and when there is a trial, those selected to make an informed and impartial judgment can still set aside whatever preliminary assessments they (or you and I) have so far made on the basis of available evidence.<br /><br />I have been impressed with how slowly the justice officials have been moving in bringing any case at all - the very opposite of a rush to judgment. George Zimmerman is not only a free man, he seems to have barely been questioned about his actions yet.Gruntledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864860607925412103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-11802604015335886192012-03-25T21:55:41.209-04:002012-03-25T21:55:41.209-04:00The mob that is rushing to judgement, you know lik...The mob that is rushing to judgement, you know like the KKK once did...kingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-41138813820950917342012-03-25T20:57:14.365-04:002012-03-25T20:57:14.365-04:00Which mob would that be?Which mob would that be?Gruntledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14864860607925412103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16201378.post-83936077711614534892012-03-25T20:55:55.048-04:002012-03-25T20:55:55.048-04:00Mob justice is ugly, no matter the color...Mob justice is ugly, no matter the color...kingnoreply@blogger.com
