Via Legal Insurrection comes word that the Department of Justice has begun a campaign soliciting tips from the general public in an attempt to build a case for civil rights violations against George Zimmerman.
It pains me to have to do something to help Neighborhood Rambo, but what’s even more ridiculous than some of the reactions to the acquittal on Saturday is the DOJ’s attempt to carry out a political campaign against a single citizen who’s been acquitted. With the publicity Zimmerman has received over the last year it’s hard to believe the DOJ has a reasonable case against him if they’re reduced to opening a public email account and asking people to send them tips. This isn’t about George Zimmerman or approving of what he did (again, I don’t), instead it’s about voicing opposition to an administration that has increasingly embraced the seedy undersides of Chicago-style politics.
So, kindly take a minute or so to send an email to Sanford.florida@usdoj.gov. Be short and sweet, more than likely whomever reads it won’t read more than a sentence or two before deleting it when they realize it’s not a tip. Additionally, be nice, don’t say anything stupid, you don’t want a SWAT team banging down your door at 3AM.
