It's a question of proximate cause. Were Zimmerman's actions the proximate cause of the confrontation? I see absolutely no way that anyone can credibly answer no to that question.
I don't need you to spell out the evidentiary standard, we aren't talking about obtaining a criminal conviction here. As I said, we know what the law is, I am taking issue with the fact that it allows this to take place.

My point was your concept of causation was irrelevant, even if you qualify it with the word "proximate". Zimmerman is allowed to approach a stranger in his privately gated community. He's even allowed to do it in public. He hasn't broken a single law in doing so.
