Zimmerman family member's letter to Eric Holder

In the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting, the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) has done its level best to incite a race war while placing a bounty on the head of George Zimmerman. In a sane world, this is a felony. It's also something else; it's the second time that Eric Holder's Justice Department has turned a blind eye to the criminal behavior of the NBPP. The first time was on election day in 2008, when King Samir Shabazz and Jerry Jackson stood outside of a polling station in military garb, intimidating voters; Shabazz was wielding a night stick.

The DOJ's refusal to arrest or even comment on the egregious actions of NBPP members in Florida raises very serious concerns about Holder's allegiances. A member of the Zimmerman family has officially called the Attorney General out on the issue in the form of a letter to Holder.

Via the Daily Caller:

In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder on Monday, obtained exclusively by The Daily Caller, a family member of George Zimmerman asked the nation’s top law enforcement officer why he has chosen to not arrest members of the New Black Panther Party for their rhetoric — some of which may fit the federal government’s definition of a hate crime — throughout the Trayvon Martin case.

The family member believes the reason Holder hasn’t made those arrests is because he, like the members of the New Black Panther Party, is black.

“I am writing you to ask you why, when the law of the land is crystal clear, is your office not arresting the New Black Panthers for hate crimes?” the family member wrote to Holder.

“The Zimmerman family is in hiding because of the threats that have been made against us, yet the DOJ has maintained an eerie silence on this matter. These threats are very public. If you haven’t been paying attention just do a Google search and you will find plenty. Since when can a group of people in the United States put a bounty on someone’s head, circulate Wanted posters publicly, and still be walking the streets?”

I ask what seems to me at least, to be a logical question: Where is the most powerful Republican Party member who is in office today, John Boehner?



Here is the entire letter to Holder. Apparently, a private citizen who is related to Zimmerman, has more courage than the Speaker of the House, who should have been the one to write this letter and post it to his website.

Despicable.
