Zimmerman did not employee Florida's Stand Your Ground defense in his defense. The article you quoted, like so many of the biased articles on which you rely, was wrong on that key fact. So, what makes you think that the rest of the article is factually correct?

Typically, people charged with serious crimes receive poor legal representation by overworked public defenders. Zimmerman should never have been charged, but ironically nationalizing the case and injecting race where it did not belong prompted an outpouring of financial support that allowed Zimmerman to hire a competent team of lawyers. That is what probably saved him from being unjustly convicted and getting sentenced to a long prison term.

Maybe if the Obama Injustice Department worked quietly behind the scenes for justice, the woman who claims she was firing warning shots would not have been convicted - assuming that the article you posted got the basic facts of that case correct.

Maybe the Injustice Department should be crusading against black on white crime, which is much more common than white on black crime. A few days ago, two 16 year old "youths" in Kansas City doused a 13-year old Caucasian kid with gasoline and set him on fire. How much national coverage did that story receive? I don't recall Obama calling a press conference to comment on that story and I don't recall any stories about him calling to check on the victim's well being or to tell him that the Justice Department "has his back," do you?

To be fair, as heinous as that KC crime was, it was a local criminal act of violence that should not be nationalized, just as the Martin shooting should not have been nationalized. That is not the proper role of federal government. When these types of cases are given a national spotlight, it only inspires more racist acts of violence on all sides.
