IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SIDE YOU ARE ON.
The secret rule of 3 is something that is used by master manipulators, and by authors, as well as professional hypnotists. It makes use of "suggestion" by embedding thoughts into the mind of persons who it is used upon. What it is simply is just writing or saying something to individuals at least 3 times. It sounds very simple and even harmless. But what happens is that it does have an effect upon the mind because of the way that the mind works.

Because the Jury found him not guilty.
A goverment has NO RIGHT to overturn a verdict or find a fake offence to charge someone else.

You seem VERY confused. Maybe read up a little?
The DOJ, if they conclude there were "Civil rights Violations"...and I doubt they will...but if they did, that would not be "overturning" the verdict...nor is a civil rights violation a "fake offence"...it is a very real offence.
That said, the DOJ has NOT said they will file charges, NOR have they said that they are opening some new investigation. They have said they will "review" evidence...and frankly they don't have the evidence to warrant a "civil rights violation", so at the end of the day nothing will come of it.
George Zimmerman benefited from being the only living witness to what really happened...the legal system doesn't have the evidence to contest it. That is just the truth, whoever's side of the argument you are on.

Its upesetting people because trying to surpass a Jurys verdict is a slap in the face of the justice system!
Trying to by pass a trying or even trying to influance the public and hense the jury by haveing the president make a comment in favour of the victem dureing a ongoing trial is a competely wrong and inappropriate thing.

Shame on you holder! Shane on you obama!
I'm sorry, but I don't like your approach to debate at all.
You seem to think that no one can have an opinion opposite to you and still be a rational person, yet you seem extremely unstable yourself. So outraged over something that has not impacted your life in anyway. This is why people are saying you are being played. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SIDE YOU ARE ON.

Enough with the BS that a DOJ review to see if a Civil Rights Violation occured is the same as a 2nd degree murder trial.
OJ Simpson was fount not guilty in the murder of his wife...
He WAS found guilty in a CIVIL suit of "wrongful death"...
Different charges...

I swear to gawd this is the last comment I will make on this subject.
Here is what I think about you Zimmerman groupies:
From the get, you staked out your positions. Then your hate radio, blogs, websites, added fuel to your fires.
Any derogatory information that came out about Zimmerman was dismissed out of hand.
It was all about the "liberal media", the NAACP, Jesse Jackson and all that crap. These are people and institutions you despised even before this event.
You have been played like a fiddle. You are too ignorant to realize it. They are distracting you with some bs while Rome burns.
There is too much fluoride in your water. Get a freakin filter.

No they didn't. Link please?
I am not even saying that there is any evidence for a Civil Rights Offense...niether is the DOJ, they are "reviewing" evidence.
That said...your statement remains bunk. Please show me the link where the DOJ declared there was no Civil Rights violation?
The Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, after conducting three dozen interviews with witnesses said they found no evidence of racism on the part of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Lead detective Sanford Det. Chris Serino says the evidence suggests that Zimmerman profiled Trayvon due to his attire and the circumstances - but not his race.
After the riots, the United States Department of Justice reinstated the investigation and obtained an indictment of violations of federal civil rights against the four officers in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. The federal trial focused more on the evidence as to the training of officers instead of just relying on the videotape of the incident. On March 9 of the 1993 trial, King took the witness stand and described to the jury the events as he remembered them. The jury found Officer Laurence Powell and Sergeant Stacey Koon guilty, and they were subsequently sentenced to 32 months in prison, while Timothy Wind and Theodore Briseno were acquitted of all charges.
During the three-hour sentencing hearing, the Federal trial judge, John Davies, accepted much of the defense version of the beating. He strongly criticized King, who he said provoked the officers' initial actions.
Judge Davies stated that only the final six or so baton blows by Powell were unlawful. The first 55 seconds of the videotaped portion of the incident, during which the vast majority of the blows were delivered, was within the law because the officers were attempting to subdue a suspect who was resisting efforts to take him into custody.
King's provocative behavior began with his "remarkable consumption of alcoholic beverage" and continued through a high-speed chase, refusal to submit to police orders and an aggressive charge toward Powell.
Davies made several findings in support of the officers' version of events. He concluded that Officer Powell never intentionally struck King in the head, and "Powell's baton blow that broke King's leg was not illegal because King was still resisting and rolling around on the ground, and breaking bones in resisting suspects is permissible under police policy."
Mitigation cited by the judge in determining the length of the prison sentence included the suffering the officers had undergone because of the extensive publicity their case had received, the impending loss of their careers as police officers, their vulnerability to abuse in prison and their having been subjected to two trials.
The judge acknowledged that having two such trials did not legally constitute double jeopardy, but nonetheless it "raised the specter of unfairness."
“In general, the Justice Department does not investigate civil rights violations committed by one individual against another unless that individual works for the state or federal government,” Dershowitz said.
Dershowitz continued that “George Zimmerman can’t really alone violate the civil rights of an individual even if he were to be guilty of the crime.”
After interviewing nearly three dozen people in the George Zimmerman murder case, the FBI found no evidence that racial bias was a motivating factor in the shooting of Trayvon Martin, records released Thursday show.
Even the lead detective in the case, Sanford Det. Chris Serino, told agents that he thought Zimmerman profiled Trayvon because of his attire and the circumstances — but not his race.
He WAS found guilty in a CIVIL suit of "wrongful death"...

Really getting ticked off about this witch hunt just because one side didn't get their way. Prosecution had a lot of time and infinitive money to get the job, and even with that they couldn't prove their case. People should be more ticked off at the prosecutions incompetency instead of the verdict.
Peace
Oh...I agree...the prosecution sucked...AND they over-reached with 2nd degree murder.
