Pepper spray is very unlikely to be fatal. Tazers are rarely fatal. Guns are clearly more dangerous.

There was no reason for Zimmerman to chase Martin. No one's life or limb was threatened. There is not even any allegation that anyone's property was endangered.

The only options for Zimmerman were for him to stay in his car or go away and wait for the cops.

LEGALLY, he could also walk the same grounds as Marin was.  So there was another option.  But in hindsight, not the smartest one, but there were more than 2 LEGAL options

He could stay in the car, he could stay in the car and drive away. The other option was to do what he did, which was clearly not the best option.

Perhaps he could have practiced his grand jettés and pliés.

Yea, he COULD do alot of things.  Pretty much all of them legal, including get out of his car and walk the same grounds as Martin
