The responsibility for all of this race baiting lies at the feet of President Obama. It began when he commented that if he had a son, he would look like Trayvon. After the verdict, he should have held a conference and told everyone that justice was served – as he did – but he should have also said everyone needs to respect the system. By permitting Holder to speak about the case he is doing grievous harm to the country as a whole. In fact the case had nothing to do with the stand your ground laws in Florida. This was a case of self-defense.
As far as Florida’s stand your ground law, an article in the Daily Caller here reveals “African Americans benefit from Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” self-defense law at a rate far out of proportion to their presence in the state’s population, despite an assertion by Attorney General Eric Holder that repealing “Stand Your Ground” would help African Americans.” Personally, I refuse to give any person or government the right to tell me I have to retreat if I believe my life is in danger and that I do not have the right to defend myself.
A year-long investigation by the FBI into whether Mr. Zimmerman violated Mr. Martin’s civil rights revealed nothing to substantiate the claim. The Sanford police believed from the beginning that this was a clear case of self-defense and did not see a reason to charge him. The state of Florida succumbed to political pressure and conducted a thorough trial in which Zimmerman was found not guilty. The usual race baiters are calling for protests against America’s racism even though Mr. Zimmerman is not a white man. He is no more white than President Obama.
What Eric Holder is doing is reprehensible. Justice was served. The rule of law was more than followed. How is this not a violation of Mr. Zimmerman’s civil rights? The federal government has put a target on his back. He needs to be allowed to go on with his life. This whole thing is disgusting! Mr. Holder should be forced to resign his office. He does not respect the laws he has sworn to uphold.

Holder should receive some very high award to recognize the sheer volume of UNITED STATES LAW that he has broken or disregarded. Just as history will likely recognize Obummer as WORST PRESIDENT, Eric Holder should serve in this role as all-time KING of the worst AGs

Both Trayvone Martin and George Zimmerman excercised poor judgement in allowing this situation to escallate to a tragic outcome. Since Zimmerman was the adult, I hold him more resonsible for the outcome. He will need to deal with that. As far as the law, Zimmerman was within his rights to defend himself, Martin chose to pick a battle and he was well prepared to beat the snot out of Zimmerman. Race and stand your ground have nothing to do with this matter. Zimmerman broke no law, period.

Eric Holder is a disgrace to the position he holds. The government has the responsibility to uphold and protect our legal system, not to divide the country and bend the laws to their agenda.
