How did they do that when this man was on the phone with 911 before the fight ended? Are you stating that this was pre-meditated? How could they have colluded when this man was in the midst of calling 911 while Zimmerman was outside fighting with Martin? That makes no sense.

Do all blacks behave nervous or paranoid as they walk through neighborhoods looking into other people's residences; because that's why he was deemed suspicious. To assuage that suspicion, do all blacks pound another man's head into the ground? Just curious if that's the case in your perspective; because if they do, then i'm compelled to agree with you that there is a a racial aspect to the case.
As for percentages of belief-- at one time, people believed the sun revolved around a flat Earth. Bertrand Russell once saidThe fact an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed, in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widespread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.

After Trayvon assaulted him, broke his nose and was pounding his head into the ground. Why do you always go from Zimm following him and then directly shooting him, but conveniently leave out the portion that the eyewitness saw?
If Trayvon didn't profile the Hispanic man and assault him, he would be alive today. If you don't like my opinion, TFB.

No one knows who instigated it. The GF says she was on the phone with Tray when he was approached by Zimmerman and his headset went dead when it was knocked off his head.
Sounds to me like Zimmerman went after Martin and then executed him when Tray did a good job defending himself.
Only under limited circumstances can an aggressor resort to self-defense. Such situations occur when a person responds to the aggressor's force so disproportionally that it would cause a reasonable person to fear for their life; or when an aggressor renounces the attack but the victim continues to use force. However, under either scenario, the aggressor has a duty to retreat. If we examine the confrontation in this light, it is abundantly clear that George Zimmerman was the aggressor and his use of force was excessive.
Being punched about the face and receiving a bloody nose is insufficient justification to use deadly physical force.
Stand Your Ground was never envisioned to allow someone to pursue and confront people like they are the police. If anyone could have invoked "Stand Your Ground," it was Trayvon. Unfortunately, we will never hear his side of the story.
You stand with Zimmerman, the executioner, and I stand with Martin, the deceased victim.
Really? You posted:Trayvon fought for his life after Zimmerman attacked him.No bias on your part, right?The GF says she was on the phone with Tray when he was approached by Zimmerman and his headset went dead when it was knocked off his head.
