Why is DOJ ignoring threats to Zimmerman?

President Obama

Sir,

Now that you have politicized the Trayvon Martin case, I want to know what the Department of Justice is doing about the threats to George Zimmerman’s life.

According to the Constitution, he is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That does not seem to be the case. It looks like Mr. Zimmerman has been tried and convicted by the media and our government. The New Black Panthers have placed a $10,000 bounty on Mr. Zimmerman. What is U.S. Attorney Eric Holder doing about this as it seems is he ignoring it? Also, it seems that an address for the Zimmerman’s was posted on Twitter by a Marcus Higgins asking his tweets to reach out and touch. This posting was re-posted by Spike Lee (never mind that the address is for the wrong Zimmermans). Now we have a couple in their 70s living in fear. What is being done about that?

I really do not expect an answer to these questions as I do not believe you or AG Holder has the courage to respond to honest questions. You do need to realize you are the president of all citizens of the United States, not just some. Remember, sir, you took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. I call on you to follow the document you took an oath to uphold and ensure the laws of this nation are followed.
