Facing Justice

The latest CNN poll shows that over three-quarters of Americans agree that Trayvon Martin's killer, George Zimmerman, should have been arrested.

Wednesday's poll reported 78% of Americans polled saying they thought Zimmerman should have been arrested, compared to 11% who said he should not have been arrested.

The results mirror an earlier CNN/ORC poll, taken before Zimmerman's arrest in late March, which showed 73% of Americans saying he should be arrested and 11% saying he should not. The earlier poll indicated 16% were unsure whether Zimmerman should be arrested.

I'd like to meet the 11% of the country that says Zimmerman shouldn't have been arrested, and I'd like to make sure that none of them are allowed to hold public office due to the general principle of not having a functional human soul.  I can actually understand being unsure, at least.  But the one in nine of us OK with Zimmerman walking free after killing an unarmed teenage boy?  No.  Makes me want to get nine people in a room with a box of adorable baby puppies and see which one of them is repulsed.
