The story of the Zimmerman Trial just went from tragic and absurd to scary.

On Monday afternoon, the US Department of Justice appealed to civil rights groups and the general public across the country for “tips” on George Zimmerman in their pursuit of potential federal civil rights charges against the just-acquitted defendant in the Trayvon Martin killing. The DOJ actually went so far as to set up an e-mail address to allow such tips: Sanford.florida@usdoj.gov. The email address is slated to go operational by the end of the week.

While I realize that many readers don't agree with either me or the Florida jury that found Zimmerman not guilty, that is our system.
Well, excluding outside political pressure.
Iif you are charged with a crime the state has a chance to prove it beyond a reasonable doubt in front of a jury of your peers.
I know that's not what always happens but that's what is in law.

This search for "tips" by the federal government because it doesn't like the results of a jury trial is such an appalling go around by this administration that we should all be very, very frightened

From Breitbart:


Barbara Arnwine, president and executive director of the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law told the Orlando Sentinel that the DOJ had held a Monday conference call “calling on us to actively refer anyone who had any information” that would help build a case against Zimmerman. "They said they would very aggressively investigate this case,” Arnwine stated.
According to Arnwine, the call began at 3:30 p.m. with Tom Perez, Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division of the United States DOJ, and representatives of the FBI on the line. Several prosecutors joined the call, too.
Arnwine listed off other organizations represented on the call, including the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the ACLU, and several “human relations” groups.
