Is the DOJ's investigation of Trayvon Martin's death a hate crime against George
One thing is clear in the death of Travon Martin...Trayvon is dead. I hate to think any innocent person should lose their life, and this story is a tragedy on so many levels. But since when does the color of a person's skin automatically determine that a racially based hate crime took place?
If Trayvon had been gay and George straight, could the DOJ say this was a hate crime as well?
I fail to see in today's society how our government can so quickly jump to the conclusion that this was a hate crime and they need to go to greater lengths than normal to prove this to be true. Please see the article below on the DOJ's creation of a "public tipline email box" to collect as much new evidence as possible to attempt to charge George Zimmerman with a racially motivated hate crime.

I personally thought that Zimmerman should have been guilty of manslaughter, but I'm not disappointed one bit that he was found not guilty. He's not a cold-blooded killer and I highly doubt he'll be killing anyone else in the future. What bothers me are these riots that are occuring across the nation. Millions of people protesting for a kid they barely know anything about. I saw a video on Youtube (I'll provide the link) of a man who went to a Trayvon Martin rally and what he had to say is sad, but true... he mentioned that there had been six black on black shootings and five black on black murders in the past week (this video is about a year old, btw) and nobody went out and protested for them, but they'll go out and protest for Martin and the reason why is because a black life doesn't have a value unless it is taken by someone who is white.

This feels more like a PR move than anything else. Had the media not gotten involved, this case could have been solved more efficiently. Instead, outside forces pushed investigators to arrest Zimmerman with charges that they lacked the evidence to support. Side: Yes, reverse discrimination

This what they do when things don't go right for them they attack the other side with whatever they got but it would be smart to just let the crowd handle everthing because they're the one's running around like a chicken with his head cut off Side: Yes, reverse discrimination
I have pretty much tried avoiding the race issue entirely in this case. But, when Holder speaks at a podium saying that he is thinking of bringing federal charges against a guy in Florida all I see is a black guy defending the black victim. I don't see any other reason for his actions. I don't think he is being racist against Zimmerman though. I don't think he is picking on Zimmerman for not being black. When is Holder going to go after the guy responsible for sending guns to Mexico? Ooh, nevermind, he would have to arrest himself. Side: Yes, reverse discrimination
