DOJ on New Black Panther Party Zimmerman bounty - No comment
2012-03-31
The U.S. Department of Justice had no comment on the $10,000 bounty the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) was offering for a "citizen's arrest" of George Zimmerman, the 28 year old man who told Sanford, Florida Police he shot and killed 17 year old Trayvon Martin on February 26 in an act of self-defense.

According to a number of reports, the NBPP "called for the mobilization of 10,000 black men" to do the "arrest." Zimmerman and his family have received death threats since the case became a national issue. Mr. Zimmerman has not been arrested by local authorities. Federal, state, and local investigations of the shooting are happening, and he is currently in hiding.

In an e-mail response to an inquiry, DOJ Office of Public Affairs' Xochitl Hinojosa wrote: "The FBI is aware of the statements and we are unable to comment at this time."

Rep. Allen West, Florida Republican, posted a statement on his FaceBook page calling on the Justice Department to prosecute the NBPP for the bounty:

That's just fuc**** pathetic. So, the DOJ and the FBI have no problems with lynch mobs running around America?

I swear, no one in the senior levels of either department should ever have jobs again.

Someone needs MAN UP and stamp out this bullshit PRONTO.

#8  Not sure how much more this whole deal could backfire for the left. Perhaps a fight between La Raza and the NBPP. Perhaps latinos will realize that the leftists in DC favor their African-American interests by not just a small amount but by a gulf.

Meanwhile, we must all remember that a part of this story was going to be anti-gun and the discouragement of self defense and neighborhood watch.

And if you want to really break out the tin foil, prep for riots and who controls the streets.

By the way...hoodies ok, but juggalos are gangbangers.

#7  IMO the Panthers need to be arrested for being vigilantes and taking matters into their own hands and inciting violence, but nothing will happen, same as blocking voters at the polling site they will get a pass from Holder and Obama.
Now this is racist.

#5  I thought the NBPP put out the bounty on Zimmerman "dead or alive?" Wouldn't this be a Florida crime? Shouldn't members of the NBPP be arrested for this crime?
