I will accept the very real possibility that TM was on GZ's chest and giving him an ass-whooping. GZ was a wanna-be toughguy whereas TM was an athlete and had likely cut his teeth on more intense scuffling with his buddies than had GZ. Ever notice how with puppies and kittens, play is pretend fighting? We too are mammals, and the amount of rigorous play of this sort that children get has a lot to do with their physical capabilities as an adult.

This absolutely does not change the fact that GZ clearly initiated the confrontation and did so because of his irrational and out of control fear. Crime is real and criminals do exist. But the odds of picking such a person out from a few details seen in short order on the street are slim.
