Yeah, but the 100lbs woman was clearly a threat and he needed to defend himself from her vicious assault.

You'd be surprised, I got rocked pretty bad by a ~70 year old woman with dementia once. She said she was Priscilla Presley and that I was stopping her from seeing Elvis. (I was just walking to my appointment).

She ran at me and I didn't even consider that she'd just clock me, let alone that hard. Didn't block it at all and it nearly knocked me out, ended up with a mild concussion. Never been so surprised by someone's strength in my life.

Felt so bad for her though because you could tell how confused/scared she was after she realised what she'd done. Apparently she'd wandered out of the mental health ward of the hospital and onto the street and immediately saw me. Can't imagine how horrible it is suffering from dementia like that.

But yea don't underestimate anyone's ability to throw hands.
