Rasmussen Poll: 40% Say Trayvon Martin Shot in Self-Defense; Only 24% Say It Was Murder … Only 47% of Blacks Think Zimmerman Murdered Martin

As evidence and facts are released in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the more people believe that George Zimmerman shot in self-defense.

My how the opinion is changing in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. Initially when the story was inaccurately reported by the MSM and the race baiters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were out in force fanning the flames of racism, many thought that George Zimmerman was guilty of murder.  The MSM even went as far as purposely manipulating the Zimmerman 911 call and misrepresent the facts.  My what a difference actual facts and evidence makes.

According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, 40% now believe that George Zimmerman shot 17 year old Trayvon Martin in self-defense, only 24% now believe that it was murder. WOW,  only a mere 15% believed Zimmerman acted in self-defense in March and 24% in April. George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain was charged with second degree murder.  What is even more stunning with the polling numbers is that 47% of black adults feel Zimmerman should be found guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin, down from 55% in March. Of course the public opinion was influenced by not only the media’s bias reporting, but also President Obama interjecting himself in the case stating that Trayvon Martin could have looked like his son.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 24% of American Adults still believe the man who shot Martin should be found guilty of murder. But that’s down from 33% in late March when the case first began to draw national headlines and 30% in early April.

Forty percent (40%) now think George Zimmerman, who has been charged with second degree murder in the Martin shooting, acted in self-defense. That’s up 25 points from 15% in March and up 16 points from 24% last month. Thirty-six percent (36%) remain undecided, compared to 55% two months ago. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Interestingly, 47% of black adults still feel Zimmerman should be found guilty of murdering the black teenager, compared to 55% in March.

It is simply amazing how the public opinion has shifted in this case once actual facts came out in the case as opposed to the liberal MSM bias agenda. The calls of racism and racial profiling have been pretty much debunked by the autopsy reports of Trayvon Martin that stated he had bruised knuckles and the medical reports and pics that show that George Zimmerman had two black eyes, a broken nose and cuts to the back of his head.

The real question is will justice be served in this case or will the pressures of political correctness and race baiting win out? One think is for certain, the death of any 17 year old is tragic; however, the manipulating of a case to stir racial tensions and fan the flames of racism is reprehensible. The MSM so wanted there to be a hate crime of a white on black crime. So much that the MSM invented a new category of people, “White Hispanics”.

Great analysis from Weasel Zippers, Anyone else notice a correlation between new evidence backing up Zimmerman’s claims and a huge drop in MSM coverage?

New Black Panther Leader King Samir Shabazz Says Be Thankful We’re “Not Hanging Crackers By Nooses …Yet, Yet, Yet”

UNBELIEVABLE … More reverse racism and racial hatred, brought to you from the New Black Panther Party’s leader King Samir Shabazz.

Because nothing says racial harmony and can’t we all get along like the comments from Shabazz, “You should be thankful we’re not running around here hanging crackers by nooses and all that kind of stuff, yet, yet, yet.” Or the following special perils of wisdom, “I hate the sound of white people. G*ddamnit, I hate the smell of white people.” Yes, this brought to you by the same folks that the Barack Obama Administration and Attorney General Eric Holder allowed the NBPP to walk free on obvious voter intimidation of white voters. Then again, it was for “his people”.

From The Blaze comes the following comes more pathetic and vile hate courtesy of the New Black Panther Party:

According to National Field Marshal for the New Black Panthers King Samir Shabazz:
•“I love white-on white-crime, because that is the best crime.”
•“I hate the g*ddamn white man, woman, and child, grandma, aunt, uncle, Pappa Billy Bob, and whoever else.”
•“You should be thankful we’re not running around here hanging crackers by nooses and all that kind of stuff — yet, yet, yet”
•He has a “wet dream about killing the g*ddamn cracker.”
•“We don’t allow faggots and lesbians” in the New Black Panther Army
•Envisions a world where every black person is “ready to bang on this cracker”
•Wants to take over neighborhoods “block by block” so “crackers…or even the developer” would be scared to come into them
•“We’re taught to send this cracker to the cemetery… so kiss ‘em goodbye”

Listen to the unbelievable audio  of the NBPP leader on a national radio show this weekend, calling for broad violence against whites. The FBI and the Justice Depatment investigates George Zimmerman for a possible hate crime against Trayvon Martin, yet nothing happens here. Imagine of the roles were reversed a a white individual made the same or similar comments toward blacks? When is Barack Obama and Holder going to show any form of “fairness” when it comes to hate speech?

More on the Obama/Holder double standard of racial hatred at the Gateway Pundit.

“Anthony vs. Curtis” VIDEO has Resurfaced After being Scrubbed after the Death of Trayvon Martin

As reported at the Gateway Pundit, the VIDEO has resurfaced on YOUTUBE of Trayvon Martin attending a fight club. The video was scrubbed off the site after the death of Trayvone Martin. This certainly does not fit the angelic narrative that the MSM tried to paint. Just curious if Barack Obama had a son would he be attending fight clubs in Miami?

The Wagist and Conservative Tree House exposed video of Trayvon Martin attending and possibly refereeing a local fight club brawl in Miami.

The video was uploaded on Trayvon Martin’s YouTube Channel. At least, the video “Anthony vs. Curtis” was there last month.

The video shows Trayvon engaged in actual and intentional violent conduct. You’ll notice Trayvon in the video, wearing a white cap with the striped shirt.

There are three sides to every story, his side, his side and the truth.

Alan Dershowitz Says It’s Time To Drop Second Degree Murder Charges Against George Zimmerman in Death of Trayvon Martin

Self-defense vs. Second degree murder …

Famed Harvard Law School professor Alan Dershowitz says, it is time for the special prosecutor, State Attorney Angela Corey, to drop the second degree murder charges against George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin if she wants to act ethically, lawfully and professionally. Dershowitz stated that if the evidence of the doctors reports of Zimmerman having a fractured nose, two black eyes, two lacerations on the back of his head and a back injury on the day after the fatal shooting are valid, prosecutors will have no choice but to drop the second degree murder charges.

There is, of course, no assurance that the special prosecutor handling the case, State Attorney Angela Corey, will do the right thing. Because until now, her actions have been anything but ethical, lawful and professional.

She was aware when she submitted an affidavit that it did not contain the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. She deliberately withheld evidence that supported Zimmerman’s claim of self-defense. The New York Times has reported that the police had “a full face picture” of Zimmerman, before paramedics treated him, that showed “a bloodied nose.” The prosecutor also had photographic evidence of bruises to the back of his head.

Alan Dershowitz was skeptical of the arrest affidavit from the outset that was first filed against Zimmerman charging him with second degree murder. Now even more evidence has come forward in document dumps that point more toward self-defense than murder. The shooting death of Trayvon Martin is not about “stand your ground”, it is probably more about just common “self-defense”.

Now there is much more extensive medical evidence that would tend to support Zimmerman’s version of events. This version, if true, would establish self-defense even if Zimmerman had improperly followed, harassed and provoked Martin.

A defendant, under Florida law, loses his “stand your ground” defense if he provoked the encounter — but he retains traditional self-defense if he reasonably believed his life was in danger and his only recourse was to employ deadly force.

With such injuries to Zimmerman and abrasions on the knuckles of Trayvon Martin along with the fact that no one really knows who instigated the altercation, how is any jury in all honesty going to find some one guilty of murder with so much reasonable doubt?

Add to the fact that initially the father of Trayvon Martin stated when asked by the police whether the voice on the 911 tape was that of his son … he said no. He would later change his answer when the strory became more political. Zmmerman’s dad and Martin’s mom said it was of their sons. However, an analysis by an FBI lab was not able to make an identification. More reasonable doubt.

The fathers of Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman gave Sanford, Fla., police their opinions about the person who was crying for help in 911 tapes of the Feb. 26 confrontation that ended with the shooting death of 17-year-old Martin, according to documents released by the special prosecutor in the case.

Neither said the voice was that of 17-year-old Martin, the New York Times reports. Zimmerman’s father said he thought the voice belonged to his son. Martin’s mother, however, has said it was her son who was screaming on the tapes. An analysis by an FBI lab was not able to make an identification; nor was it able to determine whether Zimmerman uttered a racial slur while pursuing Martin, whom he considered to be suspicious.

Question: If Trayvon Martin was white and/or George Zimmerman was black, would anyone in the MSM, All Sharpton, Jesse Jackson or the NBPP have ever covered or been involved this case?

NAACP Caves on Blacks to Back Obama’s Endorsement on Gay Marriage

Doesn’t this reek of the AARP and the AMA supporting Obamacare over the opinions and views of the elderly and doctors?

The NAACP sells its soul and out its peeps in order to back Barack Obama and his endorsement of gay marriage. A hue & cry went through out the black community and the black churches following Barack Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage. make no mistake about it, the black community does not support gay marriage and if asked, they will say yes only not to go against their leader, Barack Obama. As the Gateway Pundit states, these far Left lapdogs will stop at nothing to support Obama.

The board of the NAACP, one of the nation’s oldest and largest African American advocacy organizations, has passed a resolution supporting gay marriage in the wake of President Obama’s public endorsement of same-sex unions.

“The mission of the NAACP has always been to ensure the political, social and economic equality of all people,” board chair Roslyn M. Brock said in a statement following passage of the resolution on Saturday. “We have and will oppose efforts to codify discrimination into law.”

The chairman emeritus, Julian Bond, had already pledged his support earlier this week as part of a coalition of black leaders trying to tamp down speculation that Obama’s support of gay marriage would divide the black community.

George Zimmerman Shooting Death of Trayvon Martin: Hmm, Reefer Madness … Autopsy Reveals Trayvon Martin’s Blood Contained THC, Psychoactive Ingredient in Marijuana … And Witnesses Back Up George Zimmerman’s Version of Trayvon Martin Shooting

More things that make you go hmm … Reefer Madness.

As more information keeps coming out as to the facts of the case in the George Zimmerman shooting death of 17 year old Trayvon Martin, autopsy results show that Martin’s blood contained THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. However, the MSM still seems to be making excuses as HLN’s Dr. Drew Pinsky stated that marijuana typically does not make users more aggressive. Really, did he ever know Martin when he was high of reefer? That might be a general statement; however, I have known several people who have used marijuana in mu lifetime and many became paranoid and some actually were affected adversely and became argumentative and hostile. Note to Dr. Drew, not all pot-heads get Doritos and fall asleep.

Martin’s blood contained THC, which is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, according to autopsy results released Thursday. The autopsy was conducted February 27, the day after the teenager was shot dead.

Toxicology tests found elements of the drug in the teenager’s chest blood — 1.5 nanograms per milliliter of one type (THC), as well as 7.3 nanograms of another type (THC-COOH) — according to the medical examiner’s report. There also was a presumed positive test of cannabinoids in Martin’s urine, according to the medical examiner’s report. It was not immediately clear how significant these amounts were.

No precise levels on the urine were released.

Dr. Michael Policastro, a toxicologist, cautioned against reading too much into the blood THC levels, adding that one cannot make a direct correlation between those findings and a level of intoxication.

He also noted levels of THC, which can linger in a person’s system for days, can spike after death in certain areas of the body because of redistribution.

Hey Barack Obama, does Trayvon Martin still look like you if he was your son? Just curious. Hmm, I guess so.

Let’s remember that Trayvon Martin had been previously suspended from school due to drug use. We shall see how this plays out in the course of the trial; however, what this does do is show that Martin is not the choir boy that the MSM tried to display. Also, it provides more “reasonable doubt”.

Martin’s father, Tracy, had taken his son with him to Sanford, about four hours away from the boy’s home and where the father’s fiance lived, after the teen was suspended for 10 days from Michael M. Krop High School in Miami.

According to records obtained by the Miami Herald, Martin had been suspended from school three times: once for writing graffiti on a door, another time for school truancy and the last time due to drug residue being found in his backpack.

But wait there is more, according to documents, witnesses back up George Zimmerman’s version of Trayvon Martin shooting.

Two police reports written the night that George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin said that Zimmerman had a bloody face and nose, according to police reports made public today.

The reports also note that two witness accounts appear to back up Zimmerman’s version of what happened when they describe a man on his back with another person wearing a hoodie straddling him and throwing punches.

It has been such a contentious case that even the evidence is being disputed.

The police report states that Trayvon Martin’s father told an investigator after listening to 911 tapes that captured a man’s voice frantically calling for help that it was not his son calling for help.

Not-So Ringing Endorsement … Rev. Jeremiah Wright Says Barack Obama Has Done Nothing For Black Community … He Would Be Correct

Hell hath no fury like a woman Rev. Jeremiah Wright scorned …

Remember that guy who Barack Obama sat in the pews for 20 years while he performed sermon rants? He’s back. Ed Klein, the author of ‘The Amateur’ was interviewed on the Sean Hannity radio show and stated the following regarding Barack Obama’s former pastor and mentor Jeremiah Wright … Barack Obama has done nothing for the black community. Yet another ringing endorsement from Rev. Wright was when he said that Obama was selected. The audio can be heard below along with Rev. Wright’s comments.

Obama Has Done Nothing For Black Community

Reverend Wright is actually correct when he says, Barack Obama has done nothing for the black community. If blacks honestly answered if they were better off today than they were 4 years ago, they could not answer in the affirmative. The first black President has the highest black unemployment rate in 27 years. Also, exactly how does the pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage sit with black America? Not only is Obama the first black President, he is the first Gay President as well. Black America is outraged and Obama is now trying to do damage control with black pastors. So much so that now you have pastors bending over backwards and embarrassing themselves and contorting their religious beliefs much as Democrats in the House and Senate did to vote for Obamacare.

On another note with regards to Ed Klein’s interview, we are reminded by the Gateway Pundit the other eye opening comments …

Ed Klein also said Jeremiah Wright told him he “made it comfortable” for Obama to accept Christianity without having to renounce his “Islamic background.” Klein also has this on tape.

No wonder Obama minions tried to bride Rev. Wright with $150,000 to keep quiet. In 2012 that amount probably has been raised to $1,500,000.

Autopsy Shows Trayvon Martin Had Injuries to his Knuckles When He Died … Court Records Show George Zimmerman Had Black Eyes, Fractured Nose & Cuts to the Back of his Head … MSM Continues to Keep hate Alive

Things that make you go Hmm … sad story starts to take a different turn when the facts of the case are reviewed .

WFTV is reporting that autopsy results of  Trayvon Martin, the 17 year old youth who was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, show that Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died. George Zimmerman and his defense attorney have claimed that there was a scuffle between Zimmerman and Martin prior to the shooting. This forensic evidence would tend to support that assertion.

WFTV has confirmed that autopsy results show 17-year-old Trayvon Martin had injuries to his knuckles when he died.

The information could support George Zimmerman’s claim that Martin beat him up before Zimmerman shot and killed him.

The autopsy results come as Zimmerman’s attorney, Mark O’Mara continues to go over other evidence in the case.

O’Mara wouldn’t comment on the autopsy evidence, but WFTV legal analyst Bill Sheaffer said it’s better for the defense than it is for the prosecution.

WFTV has learned that the medical examiner found two injuries on Martin’s body: The fatal gunshot wound and broken skin on his knuckles.

As per court records, George Zimmerman had multiple injuries to this body. As reported by ABC News, Zimmerman had a pair of black eyes, a broken nose and abrasions on the back of his head (picture). So, we have one individual being charged with second degree murder in Zimmerman with multiple injuries, we have a dead individual in Trayvon Martin with injuries to his knuckles. One would have to question just who was defending who here?  As stated at Breitbart.com, the Trayvon Martin autopsy results and the George Zimmerman medical records lead to the logical conclusion is that Martin was beating up Zimmerman severely before Zimmerman shot him. And this is called “REASONABLE DOUBT”.

Court records show George Zimmerman had a pair of black eyes, a nose fracture and two cuts to the back of his head after the fatal shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

The medical records were part of evidence released Tuesday that prosecutors have in the second-degree murder case against Zimmerman. He has entered a plea of not guilty and claims self-defense in the Feb. 26 shooting. A message left Tuesday evening with Zimmerman’s attorney was not immediately returned.

Zimmerman was treated Feb. 27 at Altamonte Family Practice.

As the Gateway Pundit opines, Al Sharpton was unavailable for comment.

UPDATE I: Keeping Hate Alive at The New York Times.

How very sad that the MSM cannot admit their mistake and worse, their purpose;y false reporting on the George Zimmerman – Trayvon Martin case. At the head of the list, the NY Times, what a surprise. The news of the day yesterday was the autopsy results of Trayvon Martin stating that he had bloodied knuckles and the medical reports of George Zimmerman that showed he had got the crap kicked out of him. A reasonable person and news outlet would have taken pause and said, hmm … this is interesting and against what had been emotionally reported in the media. Not the NY Times, they doubled down and instead reported, ‘Trayvon Martin Case Shadowed by Series of Police Missteps’. Actually, one would think that if they wanted to be honest, fair and balanced they would be writing about the MSM’s, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson’s and the NBPP’s purposeful missteps.

The NY Times can’t quite bring itself to report on the latest news in the Zimmerman case – Zimmerman’s medical file shows he was banged up and Martin’s autopsy showed bloody knuckles – so they hand the mike to the Ben Crump, the Martin family attorney, and rehash every possible mistake made by the Sanford PD.

Presumably their goal is to pretend that, however ludicrous the current situation, the media and the prosecutor acted in good faith in bringing us here.

The Conservative Hide Out  makes a comparison that we have been making for quite some time … this reeks of the Duke LAX case in NC. Yes it does.

In Complete Poor Taste, Exploitation of Trayvon Martin & George Zimmerman … Trayvon Martin Shooting Targets Sold Online for Profit Complete with Hoodie & Skittles

WTF, WHAT IS WRONG WITH SOME PEOPLE!!!

Are you serious, talk about in poor taste. An unknown idiot is trying to profit off the death of Trayvon Martin who was shot by neighborhood watch individual George Zimmerman. The so-called entrepreneur, we will use the term parasite, is selling Trayvon Martin paper shooting target featuring a black hoodies with crosshairs stamped across the chest, and images of Skittles and a can of iced tea printed near the pocket. The prints were sold in packs of 10 for $8. According to the unknown individual, “My main motivation was to make money off the controversy”.  Can you say sick? And for all of those who bought them, what is friggin wrong with you?

An unidentified entrepreneur admits he is trying to profit off Trayvon Martin’s death by selling gun range targets featuring the teen who’s death has sparked a nationwide controversy.

Although Martin’s face does not appear on the paper targets, they feature a hoodie with crosshairs aimed at the chest.  A bag of Skittles is tucked in the pocket and a hand is holding a can resembling iced tea.

Martin purchased both items minutes before he was shot and killed by George Zimmerman in February, according to police.

Thankfully, the online ad has been removed. It matters little if one thinks that George Zimmerman is guilty or not in the murder charges, if one thinks that Trayvon Martin is a thug, or if one thinks that the MSM, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson et all fanned the flames of racism unjustly in this case. For some one to be so warped and twisted to try and make money off the shooting death of anything is as wrong as it gets. That fact that the individual who wanted to profit off the tragedy of another wanted to remain anonymous tells us all we need to know about their lack of a spine and accountability.

According to an advertisement for the targets that had been posted on a popular firearms auction website, the sellers stated they “support Zimmerman and believe he is innocent and that he shot a thug.”

That online ad has since been removed.

“This is the highest level of disgust and the lowest level of civility,” said Zimmerman’s attorney Mark O’Mara.

AGREED! There is no place for this kind of ignorance or hate.

Obama Administration Files Law Suit Against Sheriff Joe Arpaio Over Trumped Up Racism Charges

Unbelievable ... the Obama Department of Justice and Eric Holder are out of control and have politicized the Justice Department like no other administration. The Justice Department is accusing sheriff Joe Arpaio and his office using “unconstitutional and unlawful actions” in their handling of Hispanics. Believe it or not, the feds want to put one of their lackeys in place to monitor Arpio’s actions. If anything ‘We the People” need monitors to look over the shoulder of Barack Obama and Eric Holder on a daily basis.

The Justice Department, which first targeted Sheriff Joe Arpaio four years ago in his suspected mishandling of illegal immigrants arrested in the Phoenix area, filed a civil lawsuit in federal court Thursday accusing the sheriff and his office using “unconstitutional and unlawful actions” in their handling of Hispanics.

The complaint alleges that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) and Sheriff Arpaio, the nation’s so-called toughest sheriff, engaged in and continue to engage in a pattern or practice of.

As stated at the Gateway Pundit, “the Obama Administration actually accused Arpaio of blatant disregard of the US Constitution.” This coming from the people who have brought us “Obamacare”.

Arpaio reacts to U.S. DOJ lawsuit: MyFoxPHOENIX.com

Sheriff Joe Arpaio reacts to U.S. DOJ lawsuit.

An angry Sheriff Joe said the feds just want to take over his office and have no evidence.

“They do not care how long it will be, what it costs, just that they are taking on the sheriff, taking care of local activists and taking me to court,” said Sheriff Arpaio.

The sheriff says he could accept an auditor to review what he does, but not a monitor to force changes.

“Monitors are not something to fear, they are something to embrace when you have problems. But if you don’t acknowledge the problem then it is hard to embrace the need for reform,” said Perez.

This Obama-Holder Justice Department is out of control. Where was Holder and the Justice Department when it came to prosecuation the New Black Panther Party and voter intimidation?  They need to go and go now.
