GZ is a wimp and a wuss. He was getting his ass kicked by a skinny kid and thought his life was in danger. He was a wimp when he was in better shape (according to his MMA trainer) and now he's a pudge and a wimp. F the puke, he turns my stomach.
So he deserved to go to jail for most of the rest of us life because he is a wimp?

I'd say "nice try" but I don't want to lie. I'll agree that life in prison would have been too great a sentence. Society is at fault here also as can be see in the whole SYG macho appeal.

GZ deserves, IMO, about 3 years of HARRRD labor for him to reflect on the error of his ways and to make a man out of him. He blew it in a big way. Nothing he did that night would be something one would put on a job application, assuming the event had not become common knowledge.

He created a problem where there was none, and created a problem that he ultimately proved to be incapable of resolving well. I was in plenty of scrapes in the inner city when I drove cab. One night I got out of the cab with my state trooper, steel 5 D cell flashlight and brandished it at a black man who had just been my passenger. Wasn't the best spot, about two car lengths into an alley of some sort. I was approx. 30, in decent shape, he maybe 45 to 50, not weak but not big either. He owed me $8 on the fair and was trying to do the 'you got change for a $50?' thing. Not showing me a fifty, just going on about how he had the money but (some endless scamming crap).

He was talking about 'oh man, would I do something like that outside my Mother's house?' As another younger black man walked by I said 'You better hope that's not your mother's house!' My meaning being that you'd have to be a real $h!t to use your mother's good name like that. The other guy eyed us warily and walked on. Clear to me that he saw the guy's obvious scammer posture. That routine is common in the black inner city in that day - I got it regularly.

I didn't get the money but I did have the satisfaction of telling the fool off. Point being, you choose your fights well and stand up when it makes sense and choose restraint when that makes more sense.
