My bet is Zimmerman leaves the country to avoid Federal prosecution

[DainBramaged]

That's my guess, and I am probably wrong, but he isn't a brave man, not by a long shot, and he certainly isn't honorable.




He sure can't hide in the hood....

1. When I heard this morning

that he was thinking of going to law school so he could learn to help others wrongly accused, such as himself, I screamed and turned the radio off. It may never come on again.

[avebury]

15. Long Shot

He has to actually graduate from college.
He has to be accepted by a law school (not out of the question if he is accepted by a RW school)
He has to actually pass the bar exam.
I think that there are some actual ethical standards to getting your license.

I would love to see a civil case against him. Even if TM's parents never receive a dime, it would be worth it to get all of GZ's past problems entered onto the record: hitting a cop, restraining order by past girl friend, allegations of molestation of family friend, and lying to the court about his PayPal defense account.

[Niceguy1]

23. the problem

Is that the FBI didn't find ant evidence of a racial motivation. How is the doj going to proceed with the existence of this report?

[avebury]

27. I talked about civil suit where it is possible that all of his

dirt could come out. It becomes a matter of making him unmarketable in the workplace and/or law school.

[dorkzilla]

29. Watch how quick Oral Roberts "University" gives him a BA and a JD

They'll help the pig get the "degrees" he needs.

If he actually did go to law school, aren't attorneys required to do pro bono work? Imagine him defending one of "those assholes"?

[avebury]

30. Your assuming that he will actually be able to

pass the bar exam.

[dorkzilla]

31. LOL!!!

He probably thinks the exam questions are akin to "name a top shelf bourbon".

[Hoyt]

2. Great graphic. He'll live/hide among racists and gun nuts, where he'll be a hero.

[IrishAyes]

18. He can run but he can't hide. Not forever.

[Hoyt]

21. Maybe, racists like Limbaugh, Hannity, NRA board, etc., seem happy.

Don't appear to have feelings of remorse, etc.

[IrishAyes]

24. True enough

But remember I said 'not forever'. I don't think GZ WILL wind up somewhere with the wingers because he's just too dumb and blind stupid to sit well with them for very long either. I mean, Furhman has one or two brain cells, but Georgie maybe not so much.

[premium]

26. I wouldn't worry too much about GZ,

sooner or later, he's going to O.J. himself and, just like O.J., he'll wind up in prison.

[IrishAyes]

32. The sooner the better

[premium]

33. Amen.

Hopefully, it's not at the cost of another innocent life.

[BainsBane]

3. No, I seriously doubt he would need to

based on the evidence presented in the Florida court, I don't see what they could base a hate crimes case on. They need clear evidence of racist intent.

[Art_from_Ark]

6. There is probably evidence of racist intent

"Several times in six months, neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman called police to report suspicious characters in the gated townhouse community where he lived. Each time, when asked, he reported that the suspects were black males."

http://www.denverpost.com/nationworld/ci_23538710/zimmerman-judge-weighs-his-past-police-calls-martin

"On April 22, 2011, Zimmerman called to report a black male about “7-9” years old, four feet tall, with a “skinny build” and short black hair. There is no indication in the police report of the reason for Zimmerman’s suspicion of the boy."

[LisaL]

10. FBI already said they couldn't find evidence of Zimmerman being racist.

So how is Zimmerman going to be federally prosecuted?

[olddots]

34. the FBI is so un rascist

[BainsBane]

12. That isn't evidence of hatred

That's the kind of racism that afflicts most of us in this country. Did you see that video someone posted of the black vs. white bicycle thief?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023256260
DOJ would need proof that Zimmerman killed Trayvon because he was black and because Zimmerman maintained an active and overt hatred of African Americans. The fact he is imbued with the kind of racism that permeates American society is not enough. DOJ would need evidence we haven't heard about.

The real problem is the guy was carrying a gun, and he will carry a gun in the future, which makes it likely he will kill again.

[treestar]

22. And he was suspicious of Trayvon for

walking in the street.

[premium]

28. But that's not grounds for a Federal civil rights charge.

And the FBI has already said that there's no evidence that Zimmerman is a racist.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/07/12/us-usa-florida-shooting-idUSBRE86B1AD20120712

(Reuters) - FBI interviews with dozens of friends, coworkers and neighbors of George Zimmerman found no evidence that the accused murderer of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was a racist, according to new documents released on Thursday.

Given this, I just don't see any Federal charges coming forward, oh sure, they'll hem and haw for a few months, but in the end...........................nothing.

[pipoman]

4. There will be no "Federal prosecution"..

what could they possibly be?

[hlthe2b]

5. I wish he would... But he won't... The guy has no self-awareness, no decency...

[hack89]

7. There is no Federal case. nt

[gollygee]

8. He'd have to find a country where he can carry a gun without being expected

to have any responsibility for how he uses it. He won't find another place.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. Zimmerman has found a way to remain in the United States by becoming a member

of one of the most devious organized crime syndicates operating in this state: The Florida Bar.

[raccoon]

11. If he does, good riddance to bad rubbish. nt

[MrSlayer]

13. It's over.

There isn't going to be any federal prosecution. I don't really think there should be either.

[CanonRay]

14. If he leaves the country

he can't keep his gun. He won't leave. The rest of the world is too sane, he'll stay right in Floriduh.

[geek tragedy]

16. He'll run for office on a 2nd amendment platform. nt

[IrishAyes]

17. Broke as I am,

I'd be the first to offer him a ticket to Somalia, so long as it was one way.

[redgreenandblue]

19. My bet is he will be dead or in jail within the next year.

[IrishAyes]

25. They never thought they caught the Boston Strangler

Although he did die in prison for other crimes for which he was convicted. Now DNA is about to confirm who he was all along. I agree with you - what company would write him a life insurance policy now?

[treestar]

20. I think he's too dumb to do that

He'd have to find a country that would take him. His mother is Peruvian, so that might be a place he can go. Wonder who can have guns there.
