George's mistake was that he let the kid punch him in the face.
Treyvon confronted George, and said "Do you have a problem?"
And George said "No I don't have a problem."
And Treyvon said "Well you have a problem now."

That translates to, "I am about to kick your ass cracker."
At that moment, the most critical moment of George's life, George should have punched the guy right in the face, or ribs.
George's situational awareness was poor.
Rather than standing and fighting, he called 911 again on the cell phone, making him an easy target for Treyvon.
Perhaps George didn't know how to fight.

In that event he should have trained in jiu jitsu or Japanese karate for several years before he went out on the street to confront criminals like Treyvon.

And I have no doubt that Treyvon was a burglar, he had been caught at school with burglary tools in his backpack.

After George got knocked to the ground he did everything right. The media likes to skip this point but Treyvon was much taller, he had about 6 inches in height on George.
Treyvon got George down and grabbed him by the shoulders, and was pounding his head into the concrete.
Two or three head strikes like that and you are dead.

George was perfectly justified in shooting the young black criminal at that point.
