For those who feel TM was not afraid think about the fact that he was a very young black male on his way home alone in the dark, it's raining, in the deep south and he has a white man following him. What do you think was going through his mind. Has anyone watched some of the terror movies that are being released today? I'd be surprised if he were not afraid. But we know he said he was, he told his gf. Whether or not it's what "normal" boys don't do....he did it so that tells me he was really afraid of this man.
Why is it so easy to get into this young man's head and decide he aggressively attacked GZ, jumped from the shadows....oh, no that can't be right because we have a witness who said GZ asked TM, what are you doing here. So it's easy to do that but he can't be afraid because that would not be macho. But wait, he was not, he was still a kid. He was not 28 years old. We did not see GZ hiding, did we. Nope he just ran right after him as if he could not catch up with him fast enough.
Of the two, GZ getting out of the car and following shows more aggression on his part than TM hiding watch GZ run to the next street and return. GF said TM said, "he found me." Does not sound like TM jumped out at anyone. jmo
