When "Neighborhood Watch" Gets Out of Hand

This is starting to look like a cover up, and I'm thinking the original State Attorney is going to get taken down on this.

Robert Zimmerman, George Zimmerman's father, is a retired Orange County judge; probably part of the "good ol' boy" network that's all too prevalent here.

Actually, Zimmerman's father turns out is a magistrate, not a judge - less powerful.

It's not looking good for a police department with a history of racial abuse. The current chief was brought in to fix their previous problems. It's been said in the news it's still a Klan town.

I wish an arrest would be made, as then a judge can put a gag order on this entire public dog and pony show. But alot of that is Zimmerman's side quite willing to get venue changed, I'd guess. All the leaks from the police ....

Bob Cesca wrote a good column today about the right wing bullying scream machine going after a murdered black child, but the left is rabid, too. Yet the only way this case got attention is because the principles went national with their claim of police ignoring the murder of this kid, contacted their congresswoman, who requested and got the feds involved via hate crime investigation.
