The DOJ will “NOT” Charge Zimmerman For Killing Trayvon Martin

While we all await and hold our breath for Attorney General Eric Holder and the Justice Department on two separate investigations, one sparked by the summer shooting of an unarmed teenager in Ferguson, Missouri, the department is going to first announce its findings in the killing of Trayvon Martin.

According to ABC News the Justice Department will not be filing charges against the self-appointed neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman for the killing of the unarmed teen.

Although it seems Martin was killed like yesterday, Thursday marks three years to the day since Trayvon was killed. Federal prosecutors concluded there is not enough sufficient evidence to prove Zimmerman, of Sanford, Fla., intentionally violated Martin’s civil rights, sources told ABC News.

In Sanford, race-related tensions had been simmering for nearly a century, but Martin’s death “was the proverbial ‘straw that broke the camel’s back,’” bringing “those issues to the surface,” the new Sanford police chief, Cecil Smith, recently told federal officials.

Privately and publicly, Justice Department officials have been telegraphing all along that they were unlikely to file charges against Zimmerman.

How disappointing, I’m glad Attorney General Eric Holder is resigning, yes he needs to hit the road! Seems he failed to see the obvious handwriting on the wall.

        Tell that to Trayvon’s parents. I’m sure having to live each day without him seems like it just happened yesterday therefore it’s not OLD to them. We’ve not walked in their shoes. 😥

        He pursued Trayvon an unarmed teen. assuming he was a thug based on what he was wearing then attacked him, I would hardly consider that self defense.

        What trouble did he make that night? He was walking home on the sidewalk on his own street when he was attacked after leaving a store where he PAID for his items.

  27. Can’t expect Justice from the DOJ just because it’s head up by a black man. O_o hell the president is black and more black men have been killed since he’s been in office than the average.

  40. There was a distinct lack of justice in the Zimmerman case. Mr. Zimmerman got away with cold blooded murder of a child; had Zimmerman stayed in his vehicle as requested, or NOT HAD A GUN, Trayvon would be alive today. This fact points to several issues we have not yet dealt with in our society: stand your ground laws, widespread availability of guns, racism, and vigilantism to name a few. There will be no justice until we can deal with these issues. This will take time, but those of us who wish for a better world, will keep on fighting for justice. RIP Trayvon.
