a relative of George Zimmerman wrote to Attorney General Holder this week noting the threats. “The Zimmerman family is in hiding because of the threats that have been made against us, yet the DOJ has maintained an eerie silence in this matter. . . Why, when the law of the land is crystal clear, is your office not arresting the New Black Panthers for hate crimes? . . . Since when can a group of people in the United States put a bounty on someone’s head, circulate Wanted posters publicly, and still be walking the streets?”

Since when?  Apparently since 2009, when Eric Holder took over at DOJ and dropped charges in another now-infamous NBPP intimidation case after a default judgment had been entered against them, prompting the U.S. Civil Rights Commission to conclude, “We believe the Department’s defense of its actions thus far undermines respect for rule of law.”
