Speakeasy forum: NBC Miami Apologizes 2nd Zimmerman Tape Edit, Fires Burnside

Maybe this will finally get more attention on the way Erick Holder has been failing as the US Attorney General.


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 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?

beats, "OMG" or "Guess What?!" or "I was thinking..." or "Did you know?" and myriad other non descriptives I've groaned over in forums. A subject line should give some indication of what's inside, or at least pique one's interest. I usually bypass the above related types unless I see a thread that's grown and decide it THEN might be worth checking to see what it's actually about.

Zimmerman's website is closed for now at least, his attorney opened another controlled by him. Judge wasn't informed prior to bail of the $200,000 available to Zimmerman, which may have had an influence on what bail he set.

The defense has started a Facebook page and Twitter account for
Zimmerman, and another website under O'Mara's control, . It will allow
supporters to donate to a legal defense fund. www.gzlegalcase.com

"I don't want my client to have any Internet presence unless it is
through my office," O'Mara said. "What I'm trying to do is limit the
enormity of danger that comes into this case in places like Twitter and
false Facebook accounts."

if money raised for legal defense should, could, or must be for bail bond. If someone had given him a $200k gift card to Home Depot, would that also count as an asset in his total worth. It could well be that the problem was with perception rather than with disclosure requirements. I'll let the lawyers squabble over this and not the media.

He's not a flight risk your honour...he has no money with which to flee, he has to ask his parents for collateral for a Bail Bond.
