Zimmermans attorney should turn him into the authorities and collect that million bucks from the NBP and sue them into oblivion if they don't pay up.

Thats a good one BT...pretty funny...lol... and yes he should.

The only problem is "what authority"?
Mr. Zimmerman is not wanted by any law enforcement agency & is not a fugitive.

The US Attorney for Central Florida, since the Justice Department is involved. I'd have news teams live covering the surrender. And if i were his attorney i would pledge to use the reward money to defend his client against this rush to judgment.

The New Black Panthers is an unknown outfit that doesn't have $10,000. This is just a publicity stunt to recruit members, since they know that they can get tons of free publicity. There is no law against offering a reward for information about anything.

Seeking that information might violate someone's privacy, but asking for information is not illegal.

If Zimmerman and his family have any sense at all and understand how high profile stories like this work, at this very moment, Zimmerman is settling in to his new digs in San Chirindongo de las Iguanas, or some other teensy  pueblecito high up in the Andes, where the only communication with the outside world is a weekly bus, if the rivers aren't running too high. Zimmerman's mother is from Peru. Life in small Peruvian villages is really, really cheap. You can probably get by easily on $25 a week for room, board, laundry and beer.

The NBP has offered a reward for the capture of Zimmerman in the amount of $10k with the hopes of raising it to 1 million, once the high profile deep pocket types kick in.

That is a verbal contract. Failure to deliver can land you in court.

Morris Dees sued the Klan into bankrupcy. Same with the Idaho Aryans.

But if he is "captured" what would anyone do with him since
no law enforement agency has a warrant for him and he is not a fugitive?

It's theater CU. Zimmerman makes a show of being cooperative with the authorities and the onus switches from him to them. So whatcha gonna do now, Mr. Holder?

Since no one can legally capture Zimmerman, he will never be captured, and the Bogus Panthers will never have to pay.

The New Black Panther Party has offered a $10,000 reward for the arrest of George Zimmerman.

"We are saying to George Zimmerman, 'You will have no peace. You will have no sleep,'" said Mikhail Muhammad, of the New Black Panther Party. "We are calling for the mass mobilization of 10,000 black men in the states of Florida, Georgia and Alabama to search for George Zimmerman, to capture him and to determine justice for George Zimmerman."

The group gathered outside of the Retreat at Twin Lakes where Trayvon Martin, 17, was killed by Zimmerman, a self-proclaimed Neighborhood Watch block captain.

Residents watched from behind the gate, and some drivers gave a thumbs-up in support of their efforts.

"The next step is we want to take him to the federal authorities, and we want him to be arrested and detained," Muhammad said.

The NBP does not have the authority to capture Zimmerman legally.

Zimmermans Attorney does have the authority to orchestrate a "surrender"

I suppose the hoodlums in the Black Panthers could claim like Barney Fife "citizen's arrest",
but Zimmerman could probably sue them afterwards for false arrest, hostage taking, & harassment.

The hoodlums have no intention of getting anywhere near Zimmerman. This  is a fundraiser for them

This group has no intention of capturing Zimmerman or paying a bounty. They are using right wing reactions to generate free publicity for themselves.

Perhaps I just missed it, but where's the condemnation from.....anyone in the Media, or from this Administration??  Isn't this 180 degrees contrary to Obama's notion of trying bring us together, and not stoke this overt racial animosity, being pushed by not just the NBP, but by Rev Sharpton & JJ??

Perhaps someone(s) can provide thse copious links to such condemnation efforts

How many people on the right condemned Limbaugh for calling Fluke a slut?

These demands for condemnation for the action of an individual in a group by the group of which he is a member is silly on it's face and quite contrary to conservative thought that individuals are responsible for their own actions.
