I agree! I don't believe Trayvon was pounding GZ's head at all, I think GZ slipped and fell backwards. GZ could've been holding onto Trayvon's hoodie and Trayvon struggling to get free from the creepy man for all we know.
Maybe if they follow the guidelines and not pursue "suspicious persons" they'd be safe inside their vehicles and wouldn't have to worry about criminal or civil action.
Newly obtained video recorded before Martin's death shows the teenager encouraging others to fight. However, Martin's brother said Trayvon is not in the video.

I recall reading an article about how he accused some black teens or that he found them "suspicious" and they turned out to be guests in the neighborhood. One guy, with dreadlocks, even had to go to the police station to explain that he was invited there.
Listening to the GF's testimony, she does say she didn't go to Trayvon's funeral because she didn't feel well; went to the hospital and that she had high blood pressure...my guess she was having high levels of anxiety...
IMO, once GZ made the phone call to report the suspicious person, he become "on duty" and all the protocol in the program becomes in effect. I've read somewhere that, within the NW program, going against protocol potentiall leaves the NW person liable for criminal and civil charges.
I think any links to social media, including YouTube, needs to be verified. There have been several who claim to know who Trayvon's GF is but NONE have been verified. I don't agree with villifying the victim or minors.
There's another lie by omission; at the bond hearing, he never reported there may be money in the Paypal account (and we haven't seen MOM's accounting for the money either).
Except for the bold, I agree with everything you said. IMO, the GF may have heard both fall to the ground; GZ first, pulling Trayvon on top as he held him. GF says Trayvon said "Get off, get off" which could indicate GZ was holding onto him. Trayvon likely began wildly (MMA-style per "John")...
Per the GF, Trayvon said "He's getting close" before Trayvon asked GZ "Why are you following me" and GZ asked "What are you doing here". http://www.orlandosentinel.com/videogallery/70000036/News/Trayvon-s-girlfriend-on-what-she-heard-on-the-phone#pl-68832490 (1:42)
IMO, GZ continued...
