FLORIDA JURY AND PROSECUTORS TERMINATE TRAYVON YET AGAIN
An arguably incompetent prosecution of racially-profiling lethal stalker GEORGE ZIMMERMAN led to an acquittal of all charges this weekend by an all-female Florida jury in his fatal shooting of teenaged African-American TRAYVON MARTIN.
Protests erupted overnight in dozens of American cities, expressing the unlikely hope of a federal civil rights prosecution, after the nation's top two law-enforcement officials fumbled the basis of such redress, accepting an incompletely-researched FBI report which declared, on the basis of interviewing holster-sniffer Zimmerman's friends and colleagues, that he evinced "no racial bias" - despite his long history of 911 calls invariably blaming black youths for local burglaries.
