The supposed “easy target” saw the other individual at Dunkin’ Donuts, hence the fight. At the police station, the “easy target”’s mother said the other individual had been harassing the other young person, and had made disparaging comments against the family. The supposed harasser claims none of these incidents, excluding that day’s fight, ever took place. Neither party wanted to press charges.
