That story is terrible! I can't believe @$$holes like that can be allowed to walk the streets. They deserve as slow and as painful a death as one could possibly conceive.

I stay in fair shape and I'm a well versed swordsman. I'm not bad with a spear and bo staff either. Give me a club, long stick, or a good bashing weapon and I'll ruin some mugger's life in heartbeat.

Having military rescue and medical training, I also know several sensative areas on the body where one can cause interal damage, loss of consciousness, and even death with the right blow. The Xiphoid process is one such spot. It is a small, pointed section of bone at the lowest tip of the sternum not far from the "CPR hot spot." The bone is held in place by a fairly weak fiber. A moderately vigorous shot to this point can break the bone off and puncture the heart lining, muscles, or even the diaphram.
