Injustice Department puts hold on Zimmerman trial evidence.
2013-07-19
The "Hold" includes the return of Zimmerman's weapon, in clear violation of Florida law.

#10  Holder has no legal business doing this, but....

Zimmerman is prolly short of cash. You KNOW some idiot has offered to auction off "The Gun™" for him (for a %). Should he take that up it would be distasteful and very poor judgement and reheat the issue. Let the Feds illegally destroy it in spite. It removes the $ temptation

#9  Holder wants them to keep the gun (and other evidence) so he can then requisition it (to investigate any civil actions you understand...) and tamper with it. Look for them to find some new 'evidence' the Sanford police somehow overlooked. Perhaps a KKK or Nazi flag or something (I'm sure the DNC has plenty they can spare).

#8  Who wants to bet he can no longer pass a background check to get a new weapon.

#6  Zimmerman may not be armed, but I'd guess his security detail certainly is. With a little imagination, a very creative sting operation could easily be hatched. Of course it won't happen.

#5  Zimmerman should buy another gun to protect himself. Holder is doing this to send a message to others that Zimmerman is unarmed.

#4  Meh. Plenty of people willing to give, loan, or chip in so he can get a replacement. Or something better.

Don't want risking a loss of some of their black panther vigilantes?

#2  The Injustice system indeed.

#1  They give a damn about the law. (Unless it favors them, OR they can make it appear to favor them)
