SANFORD -- The Sanford Police Department says the United States Department of Justice has asked for a hold on evidence related to the George Zimmerman case. Justice Department officials said earlier this week there was an open investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin. Multiple agencies are working with the civil rights division to evaluate evidence from the federal investigation and recent state trial, the office of public affairs said in a statement issued Monday. Below is the full previous statement: "As the Department first acknowledged last year, we have an open investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin. The Department of Justice's Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division, the United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation continue to evaluate the evidence generated during the federal investigation, as well as the evidence and testimony from the state trial. Experienced federal prosecutors will determine whether the evidence reveals a prosecutable violation of any of the limited federal criminal civil rights statutes within our jurisdiction, and whether federal prosecution is appropriate in accordance with the Department's policy governing successive federal prosecution following a state trial.” This is a developing story.

There's something weird about Zimmerman... he's black and not a racist! Does the reverund Al Sharpton offer a class to fix that? On February 26, 2012, in Sanford, Florida, life ended for one young man and life forever changed for many more. There is no turning back. There are no second chances. A young man is dead and another young man faces the results of decisions they both made that day. While we can't take back how things played out with the Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman encounter or anything that led up to those final moments of life-death changing events, we do have a responsibility of calling the media, our president, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Black Panthers and a few others to account for their irresponsible responses, reporting and race baiting behavior thereafter. Turns out that, Zimmerman, the "white Hispanic", is not only nearly as Black in heritage as our president, if not completely so -- he was raised under the influence of a half-black grandmother, rather than, a white grandma as Obama was. Well, who would have thought such to be a possibility while listening to the original reports of it all? It appears the president and Al & buddies didn't. Amazing how some major players of race-baiting have all run from the story, or so it seems. The media being so irresponsible as to unjustly inflame, is beyond belief. It used to be that the media sought out the truth and facts, but in the Martin-Zimmerman case, didn't we see video that supposedly suggested that Zimmerman was not injured, when in fact he was? Haven't we often heard that Zimmerman "disobeyed" the dispatcher, when, in fact, the tape has the dispatcher saying something to the effect, "We don't need you to do that." and Zimmerman calmly responding, "Okay." Yes, haven't we heard that conversation followed by lack of heavy breathing... meaning that Zimmerman was neither running after ,nor walking swiftly, after anyone.? Yet, that bit of misinformation suggesting that Zimmerman disobeyed the dispatcher continues to follow the story. Why? I can only suppose the "why's"! Without there being racism and racial profiling, this may have merely been a tragic story that was nothing more than a misunderstanding between two people. A story that might have been reported briefly and stuffed into the history files of all the other sad things that have happened to people more often than we would like to think. That's what it could have been. But none of those possibilities mattered as Al Sharpton, the president and all those others jumped in and made a bad situation even worse. Let's not forget NBC's edited version of the 911 tape that makes it appear that Zimmerman is saying that he is suspicious of Martin, because the teenager is black. The tape was edited. That ISN'T how the conversation went. Yet, people are still relying upon that bogus version and holding George Zimmerman guilty because of it. How does NBC plan on remedying the wrongful results that rest with their wrongful actions? Once a lie or bad information is out there, it is out there. Some will consider the original information to be gospel and refuse to consider any thought word or deed that counters the holy words of the first to speak and report. Of course, how hard do those reporters, agencies or officials try to correct their original misinformation and even outright lies? Do they repeat their misdeeds and misreporting every few minutes such as they repeat the sensationalized story headlines they create? I don't know for a fact what took place in the moments leading up to and ending in the tragedy that has so negatively affected the lives of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, their families, friends and all others this sad moment has embraced, but neither does any other person not directly involved in the case. We are the audience that can only assume whatever we believe to be true based upon whatever information we are provided by whomever and by whatever information we go on to obtain by research and seriously paying attention at all times to what all is being said and by whom. We need to be vigilant. We need to "really" listen... "really" see... and 'really" pay close attention to all matters involving any situation and people involved in all of those situations, but especially in the Martin-Zimmerman case that has been distorted and used as a tool to create unnecessary racial tension and the fire for revenge and hatred based upon facts that are not facts. Mr. President, if I had a son, he would not look like Trayvon Martin or George Zimmerman nor the parents and grandparents of either. My son would look like his father and his family and my family and me. But if my son did have grandparents such as George Zimmerman's, I'd be shouting it to all I could. I would be demanding the MSM (Main Stream Media), Al Sharpton & all the other little buddies of hate -- get it right. I'd be demanding they tell the truth and report what really most likely happened. On February 26, 2012, a tragedy occurred and lives were forever changed and it hadn't a thing to do with race. The aftermath, however, did apparently have to do with sensationalism, media ratings and pumping causes for all they were worth. It was indeed a sad day and some aren't done making it a sadder day yet.
Interesting find. The verdict was correct.

Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
The nose on your stone face looks like a penis. Only if you're gayer than Ted Kennedy... like Barry, Mitt, and yukon.
