Holder is wrong

Yes, Zimmerman was pinned to the ground and his head was being used as a basketball being pounding against the concrete.

How could he retreat?

Zimmerman's jacket opened and exposed the top of his gun lodged in his inside-the-belt holster. Zimmerman saw Martin look down at the gun and say to Zimmerman,"You are going to die Mxxxxx Fxxxxxx", as Martin slipped his hand down to get Zimmerman's gun.

So is Zimmerman suppose to let Martin get the gun and carry out his threat? 

The prosecution is suppose to prove guilt of murder not justified by self defense. Name one single thing the prosecution proved in this regard?

Zero proof.

No other verdict was just except not guilty.

I hope blacks learn from this - don't go up and beat other people who are doing you no harm whatsoever.

Yes, too many blacks are trying to be a gangsta..

For males 30 years old or less, 15 times as many blacks have been to a prison than whites, on a per capita basis  (21.4 % of blacks and 1.4 % of whites).

More black youth are in prison than in college.

Yeah, I just don't get it. When is it the job of the AG to discuss another state's self defense laws?

And interestingly, FL does not have an uncommon self defense instruction, which doesn't replicate all of, but implicates some of the SYG statues need for retreat and subjective feeling threatened language.

As is the case in many self-defense claims, the one who is asserting it is often the only one left alive, And any prosecutor will tell you that it is difficult once it is instructed because the burden shifts to the state to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. But this is inherent in the self-defense claim and not Holder's fight so to speak.

Law Professor Ann Althouse:

What nonsense! Let me translate: Holder wants relief from the pressure to prosecute Zimmerman, so he’s shifting to a topic that has nothing to do with Zimmerman but that low-information people think has to do with Zimmerman. (Zimmerman was pinned down before he decided his life was on the line, and he had no route of escape.)

And, yes, I know Holder is also talking about investigating the Zimmerman matter. But “investigating” is code. As we saw with Benghazi, it means: We’re hoping that if enough time passes, you’ll forget about it.

This is all so thoroughly lame. But at the same time: It’s a very powerful person speaking dishonestly and threateningly about the exercise of power. What a disgusting combination.

The Congressional Black Caucus is planning to introduce legislation that would repeal state SYG laws.

How do these people make it to Congress?
