Right, and that chick wouldn't have gotten raped if she would have just stayed home rather than go to the club.

Not the same thing at all. The 'chick' is at a club having a drink. Trayvon Martin was walking home minding his own business. In both cases you have perp that interprets these perfectly innocent and legal behaviors as somehow and invitation to stalking and violence. That's victim blaming of the worst kind.

This is a really bad analogy.

Again, it depends on how you interpret the events. I tend to believe the jury, investigators, and eye-witnesses whereas you seem to ignore all evidence and logic.

What eye-witnesses? Eye witnesses see two people fighting. They didn't see who started it, why it started or anything else. Even the jury felt that Zimmerman should have stayed in his car. Logic tells me that if you see someone you suspect is a criminal you don't get out and confront them. That's the police's job.

Not to mention that Zimmerman's choice to get out of the car and confront Martin while doing neighborhood watch duties exceeds the parameters set down by the Homeowners' Association and it flies in the face of the 911 Dispatch telling him to stand down and let the police handle matters. Even if Zimmerman truly had no amount of common sense available to him at that pivotal moment, he still had clear, nonconfrontational parameters for his job as a nightwatchman and the calm voice of the 911 Dispatcher telling him to sit back and wait for the police.

Again, there is zero evidence that GZ confronted anyone. If you keep saying it, it won't magically make it true.

Where is the evidence that Martin confronted anyone?

And yet a confrontation happened. If one party was walking away, logic insists that it was the other person who did the confronting.
