New Poll: Support for arresting George Zimmerman drops to 48%

Original images by mainstream media

What they actually looked like recently

The truth is the mainstream media did a high-tech lynching of George Zimmerman. None of them or us know if he should be arrested. We should let the authorities investigate and decide. The change in polling is undoubtedly a response to more information coming out. We now know more of Zimmerman's side of the story and we have learned Trayvon Martin was not the angelic faced little kid first portrayed in the images made viral by the mainstream media. Most people don't read much of a news article. The just read a couple of lines and look at the pictures. Even AP now admits the first images of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman were very deceptive.

The last few days have moved public opinion significantly in favor of George Zimmerman.
  • In CNN’s poll conducted last weekend, 73% of American adults thought that Zimmerman should be arrested.
  • Just a few days later, our poll conducted Tuesday and Wednesday revealed that just 48% of Americans believe he should be arrested. Our poll matched the partisan distribution of the CNN poll, so this is a real and significant change in opinion as more key details came out over a few brief days.

Amazing how people can be so judgmental based on appearances. If you were to take away the pictures and just listen to the evidence and facts of what transpired, almost everyone would agree that George should be arrested.

What facts are those? Zimmerman claims Martin was pounding his brains out on concrete and then went for his gun. Martin is not alive to give his side of the story. Since Zimmerman hasn't been arrsted, I would guess some of the evidence supports his story or at least does not prove it blatantly false.

That's what happens when the actual facts of the case become known. The emotional hysteria eventually dissipates, and logical analysis takes over.

what has happened is folks have become influenced by Zimmermans family and some who feel the kid deserved it ,they no longer look at the facts but at the rumor and inuendo .The facts have not changed a man armed with a gun shot and killed a young un armed man as he was begging for his life.What Zimmerman supporters are doing is the same thing a rapist does throw rumors and allegations about enough to cloud the facts and people will begin to doubt the truth them selves .Zimmerman is a cold killer nothing has been revealed that says anything else .Zimmerman should be arrested based on if nothing else the fact that he did not follow the request by authorities to not follow the victim ,why not let the truth come out in court if he is innocent he will be found innocent .
