Did Trayvon Martin Actually Attack George Zimmerman, And Not In Self Defense?

At first, I thought that a comment on "The New York Post" was crazy:

How about waiting for a full investigation before jumping to conclusions like most of the media has already done. Where is the information given by an independent witness that Zimmerman was attacked by Martin and that Martin was on top of Zimmerman punching him in the face while Zimmerman was calling out for help. And you don't think it's suspicious for someone in Florida to be walking the neighbor hood with a hood on hiding his face. It's not like he was in Montana during a blizzard. This is a prime example of what's wrong with the media and all the special interest groups who are just panting when they come across a story they can exploit for their own purposes. Last time I checked an accused is innocent until proven guilty. It appears to me that a lot of biased people are speculating that Zimmerman is guilty before he has even been charged with an offense.

  even if there is not enough "evidence" by legal standards - yes zimmerman is guilty. 911 told him to stop following the poor boy & he pursued & killed him.

  It was raining, so hoodie up. Yes, now that the investigation is under a spot light there is a much better chance of justice. The sweeping under the rug investigating method will be over ruled. Let the sunshine in, it will now be the sunshine state like it or not. When all is said and done, it should be a manslaughter case. I don't think the reason he shot was hatred of a race. However he caused the events to unfold without sufficient reason to do so. His reckless and ill advised actions caused a boy's death.

  That 911 dispatcher is probably not the first person to tell him not to confront the people he is calling about. He can't say he wasn't warned not to do what he did.

Then I searched "did trayvon martin attack george zimmerman", because I was curious. Then this came up in  "The Daily Mail":

"The protests come the day after an anonymous witness to Martin's death claimed that he may have attacked Zimmerman before the shooting at a gated community in Florida.

"The witness, known only as John, told Sanford police that he saw Martin on top of George Zimmerman shortly before the fatal shot that has led to a national outcry, including a huge 'hoodie' march in Philadelphia last night. He recounted the details to Fox 35 News in Florida."

If John's claims are true, then George Zimmerman himself may have acted in self defense and even Geraldo Rivera may have a point about what Trayvon Martin was doing and representing with that hoodie.
