    Holder made it clear how hew feels about the Black Panthers when he chose to not investigate them for more than obvious voter intimidation. Holder may be the worst AG we have EVER had by a long shot.

    Wow... Things are getting even more intense... Cannot look it up now but there are quotes out there from Eric Holder to the effect that hate crime legislation is to only protect historically disinfranchised groups, not whites or Christians or the wealthy or military... Sure someone else can find the quotes.

    The idea of hate crime legislation I believe is a slippery slope.

    John Ashcroft is the worst attorney general in recent memory.

    That site seems to be down right now. But if he really opened the site and then just talks about himself, with no kind words toward the kid that got shot - no matter whether he is guilty of criminal conduct or not - it doesn't let him appear in a good light at all.

    So, who is going to donate to Zimmerman?


    Nope.

    Justice in the court is coming, buddy. The money won't mean a thing.

    The site makes him look bad regardless of what it says. Martin's mother was criticized for trademarking her son, and being financially motivated... Well turn about is fair, Zimmerman deserves criticism.

    As I mentioned in the other thread... how is it remotely legal to put out a 'dead or alive' bounty on a person's head?

    Touche, you have found a situation that is exactly the same. I wonder how George Zimmer man has survived this long with the entire military having shoot on site orders?

    There are quality attorneys that would take the case free of charge. Having said that, I get your point and I am sure he needs the money, but it still does not look good.

    You are not supposed to ask that question, it goes against the narrative decided by the media and those with a self serving agenda.

    Hello commie. Last I checked this wasn't the gulag.

    It's called capitalism and free enterprise, either get used to it or go back to whatever collective statist hellhole you were spawned from.

    They would get a lot of free publicity, but will presumably aget a bunch of death threats as well.

    It comes with the territory. If threats scare away lawyers, then Casey Anthony's lawyer would have never won. Only the weak quit, the strong will come forward. It might be a good idea to get a winner that can deal with high profile cases, her lawyer is from Orlando, Florida, too. *smile*
