I've said it before in this thread. If you're going to bumrush somebody, make sure they're unarmed, or take their weapon from them.
I'm not sure why you keep stating that George was bumrushed or jumped by Trayvon, MS?
In so doing, you are at once saying that George is lying while also saying that he's telling the truth. Hard to follow.
George says that he and Trayvon were standing up and conversing before the first punch was thrown. He was face to face with Trayvon, to whom he'd chosen not to identify himself nor his NW status, when George says that Trayvon punched him in the nose as George reached for his cell phone. George says he fell to the ground at that point.
That's George's version of events, which is inconsistent with your version of George's version of events.
Again, here's George's own version of events:

Another point of confusion for me: the statement that George was beaten almost unconscious keeps being posted as fact.
George's actions and responses immediately after the shooting indicate no sign of confusion, short term memory loss, physical or mental impairment. In his written statement that night, he said his head felt like it was going to explode when it was being pounded against the sidewalk. That's where it stops. The EMS report from the scene shows nothing to indicate that there was a concussion, abnormal vitals, irregular breathing, or any sign of internal injuries. Tenderness, bleeding and abrasions to the back of the head and an injured nose is all that was noted by the Emergency Medical personnel who evaluated Zimmerman that night.
If the "beaten almost unconscious" statement is supported by medical records, appreciated if someone could post them. I'm missing that piece. TIA.
Here's the EMS Report that I've seen from that night:
