Yes, ironically, if there had been one more George the person crying for help might have had someone rush to his aid.
I was thinking more along the lines of prevention...Even George wouldn't have thought he could get away w/ shooting an eye wittness, or multiple wittnesses. It may have helped prevent the shooting of Trayvon. It is a dark corridor from what folks describe....Hard to believe George put people at risk pursuing this teen, especially since he was supposedly afraid of Trayvon. George seemed to make his decision upon leaving the truck. He sealed his and Trayvon Martin's fate when he left the cab of his truck.

Nothing was sealed until the shot was fired. Both Trayvon and George could have reacted differently.

Again, WE do know George shot and killed Trayvon Martin, an unarmed teen. We do not know anything else w/ certainty. I find the affidavit charging George interesting. I also believe the culpability lies w/ George. This incident would not have happened were it not for George's actions...He is legally culpable. Much like a drunk behind a wheel of a car....You wouldn't say....Well if the other car wasn't in his way. You cannot blame Trayvon for George's actions....and no one has proven that Trayvon did anything....it is hard to believe George's claims, which are self-serving at best, and he is a demonstrated liar...

It is probable that Martin initiated the physical altercation. Had he not done that he would be alive today.

Based on what information? Were you there?

There are a few moments in time that only two people know for sure what happened - and one of them is DEAD.

Read the formal charge affidavit. George chased Trayvon as he was running for home.

The fact that all the injuries, except a scraped knuckle and the bullet wound, were to Zimmerman speaks volumes. Yes, no one knows for sure who started the physical confrontation. There are just too many questions which add up to reasonable doubt.
