Holder Calls Trayvon Death 'Unnecessary Shooting'

[Mira]

The shooting death of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was tragic and unnecessary, and it ought to spark public debate about how to prevent similar incidents, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said on Monday.

In his first comments since a state jury acquitted George Zimmerman on Saturday in the February 2012 shooting case, Holder said federal prosecutors were continuing to investigate.

"Independent of the legal determination that will be made, I believe that this tragedy provides yet another opportunity for our nation to speak honestly about the complicated and emotionally charged issues that this case has raised," Holder told a convention of Delta Sigma Theta, a black sorority.

Although Zimmerman was cleared of murder charges under Florida law, U.S. prosecutors could decide to bring criminal charges under a federal hate-crimes law, and some civil rights advocates are lobbying prosecutors to do so.

At Mon Jul 15, 2013, 02:32 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

YOUR COMMENTS:

In the context of the OP, plus the NAACP reference, this is the work of a troll. MIRT!

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Mon Jul 15, 2013, 02:39 PM, and voted 6-0 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Definitely troll. There are about as many 'white intruders' nanny-go-whack as well on youtube. But for the poster, it seems that African-Americans are the really bad ones and George Zimmerman is a hero shooting them down. Nuke this ass.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: The video is not germane to this thread.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Be Gone!
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Video has nothing to do with the OP or racial profiling.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Oh HELL no.

At least a jury got THIS one right.
