Like Zimmerman’s broken nose?

(The Hill) — A member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) on Wednesday called the shooting of Trayvon Martin a hate crime.

“I personally, really truly believe this is a hate crime,” said Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) in a joint interview with CBC Chairman Emmanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.) on CNN.

The CBC has called for an investigation into Martin’s death based on their concern that racial profiling was involved, and have also questioned Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law, which allows an individual who feels threatened to “stand his or her ground and meet force with force, including deadly force.” […]

“The evidence really points to a fact that you had a gung ho so-called neighborhood watchman who wanted to be a cop, basically, who was following a young black man who was unarmed and had committed no crime,” Waters said. “That’s pretty stiff evidence that this is possibly a hate crime”
