A 130-pound guy has got to be a real piece of work to start an altercation with several firefighters.

Thick glasses. Rumpled suit. Whiney voice. Never been laid.

Kinda like Rick Moranis in Ghostbusters, but without the charm.

At 5 foot 9, 130 pounds, maybe he felt he had something to prove, with his girlfriend looking at all those manly firefighters. (*chuckle*)

You know how some really insecure guys yet.

Maybe he felt he had to be a big man and show how tough and bad he was, and got his teeth knocked out for it. (which tends to happen in those cases)

Sounds like he was acting erratic right from the jump.

I've met a few twerps like this who thought they could get cute with me (I'm 6'2" 225) because a lot of guys that size think that if they're angry enough they can kick anyone's ass.

It's funny for the first few seconds, then it's just annoying (and painful for them).

I was a volunteer fireman in a rural department for ten years. I frequently had a migraine the day after responding to a call -- my body's way of processing excess adrhenalin. It's a high-intensity environment, a contest played for higher stakes than any football game. The most dangerous thing I ever did was tackle brush fires with guys half my age. I'd end up exhausted on top of a hill, leaning on the fire rake, wondering where I'd get the energy to walk back DOWN that hill!

You're not dealing with construction workers at an accident scene, but with incredibly focused, energized, and passionate men. Not wise to interfere.
