Florida attorney Ben Crump...

“Everybody in America is asking, ‘When are they going to arrest Zimmerman for killing this kid in cold blood?’”

Good point…

…by Jonathan Chait.

First, terrorists often operate in our country, or in friendly countries, which makes military action against them tricky. McCain (through his campaign blog) assailed Obama for favoring “prosecutors rather than predators.” But, when the terrorists are holed up in New York City, as was the case with the 1993 bombers Obama referred to, simply arresting them strikes me as more efficient than leveling their apartment with a drone-fired missile.

Me too.
