Really?
That was the initial reaction I had to your first post. Really? Are you kiddin' me? But thanks for the additional links which provide some insight to the Federal government reaction to the events in Sanflord, Florida. Okay, so the DOJ sent an CRS team down to Sanflord, and you have a valid point, at least according to the JW post you linked to:
Though CRS purports to spot and quell racial tensions nationwide before they arise, the documents obtained by Judicial Watch show the group actively worked to foment unrest, spending thousands of taxpayer dollars on travel and hotel rooms to train protestors throughout Florida. The peacekeepers also met with officials of the Republican National Convention, scheduled for several months later in Tampa, to warn them to expect protests in connection with Martin’s death.
And then we have the local Baptist vigilantes with a nine-point plan to oust the local police chief:
Judicial Watch also obtained an audio recording of a “community meeting” held at Second Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church in Sanford on April 19, 2012. The meeting, which opens with a gospel hymn and organ music, is reported to have led to the official ouster of Sanford’s Police Chief Bill Lee. A week earlier, a group calling themselves the “Dream Defenders” had barricaded the entrance to the police department demanding he be fired for failing to file murder charges against Zimmerman. The church meeting produced a nine-point plan, the main demand being the firing of Chief Lee.
But nowhere have I seen or read of any direct reference to President Obama in instigating these actions, a direct counterclaim to your statement. The Federal bureaucracy (including the DOJ bureaucracy) is so massive that it is hardly possible for a sitting President to significantly influence, much less manage, all of it.
Yes, I voted for Obama, because I felt the alternative (in both elections) was unacceptable. I am not a great supporter of his, but I am even less a supporter of our dysfunctional Congress and the runaway Federal bureaucracy that makes his job even harder to accomplish effectively.
I am not accusing you of "thoughtcrime", but let's just be honest with each other about the actual facts and then we can debate and either agree or disagree about the next advisable course of action. Meanwhile, "Big Brother" NSA continues to collect our e-mail and phone records and who knows what all else.
And kids are being shot and killed every day on the American city streets. So why is this case so important, apart from the media that puts a sensational spotlight on it?
