- The Obama administration will drag out the probe of Zimmerman for several weeks. This will give them time to coordinate demonstrations and outcry from across the country. The demonstrations will be front page/first story on every major newspaper/TV network news broadcast and will suck the oxygen out of news.
- The DoJ will file civil rights charges against Zimmerman.
- Martins family will file a civil suit against Zimmerman for wrongful death. A civil suit carries a much lower burden of proof preponderance of the evidence than a criminal trial reasonable doubt and Martins family will be represented pro-bono by very high powered civil attorneys, not the collective doofuses that prosecuted Zimmerman. Add to that the concept that facts wont matter in a civil case theyll have pictures of 12 year old Trayvon plastered all over the media, this one will hinge solely on emotion. Just like the Goldman familys suit against OJ, which they won hands down.
- Concurrent with the DoJs civil rights charges we will be deluged reminders of the 1964 civil rights charges filed by Robert Kennedy in the Mississippi Burning case where three civil rights workers were murdered by the Mississippi KKK. We will hear over and over about how the state would never have brought the murderers to justice without the federal civil rights case and they will use that to justify prosecuting Zimmerman on federal charges.
- The victim community, led by Jackson, Sharpton, the NAACP and the media, will use that same theme to press for new civil rights legislation because we are obviously the same racist nation we were in 1964.
- Expect to see a groundswell demanding gun registration, much stricter background checks for concealed carry permits, elimination of Stand Your Ground and Castle Doctrine laws and strict regulation of Neighborhood Watch groups.
Forget the IRS going after political opponents after all, the Zimmerman verdict proves theyre racists anyway. Forget oversight of NSA snooping. Fast & Furious will be remembered as nothing but a bunch of movies. Immigration? More evidence of racism. Calls for fiscal restraint? More evidence of racism.
Trayvon Martin is the gift that will keep giving to Democrats in general and Barack Obama in particular at least through the 2014 election cycle.
If I had a son hed look like Trayvon. After all, his death may well resurrect the Presidents failed agenda.
