I agree, not that youth physical speed and strength aren't good.Quote from Larson:
A 50 year old male can take one of these punks out, if he is tough enough, and it HAS been done. Criminals prey on the weak, but there is always that guy out there you are sorry you messed with.
But this particular subject probably has the IQ of a Lima bean. Mental toughness tolerance for pain and quick thinking aren't bad either in these "situations". Besides, while I didn't mention it earlier, I figured I'd use one of my ball bats. Just to make it even considering I am twice his age.
