So if he wasn't surprised then he went into the situation, knowing what the likely outcome would be then, which is what I suspected in the first place.
Not quite a case of going about your everyday business and being harassed for no good reason. He chose the time, place etc of his confrontation and came equipped with the means to start it and the mindset to boot IMHO!
