Some people are more prone to fear than others. The part you ignore in that line of thought is: were his fears rational, at any point in the drama? I submit that they were not. His fear led him to create a confrontation, one in which he had deadly force on his person.
I gotta give it to spd: "He brought a gun to a fistfight."
One major unknown in this drama, surely not a point we could count on GZ to be forthcoming about, is: did GZ flash his gun at TM at any point? One of those, "watch out, I'm armed, you best comply with my instructions until police get here" ? TM could well have had more cause to be in fear of his life. A man not a policeman was following him and (possibly) displayed a gun, certainly was toting one. GZ initiated this drama and played the insecure, naïve fool throughout it.

A weak person with unstable mind might be fearful that the large man passing him on the street was approaching to do harm and pull out his portable manliness and shoot him with it. GZ wanted to be tough but couldn't pull it off with MMA training. Mssrs. Smith and Wesson did the trick, however.
