I wonder if any court has ever allowed a demonstration of how quickly a person can be injured or rendered unconscious by a person who knows what he's doing. That might be an eye opener.

That's a really interesting question. It might go to show that "disparity of force" issues are not always very clear cut. Sometimes on the darkened street at night, it is not immediately apparent what a possible assailant's physical capabilities will be. I have encountered some very large and muscular individuals who are "gentle giants" and would never hurt a fly. On the other hand, the guy who's 5'4" and has some training combined with a healthy dose of anger and sociopathy might be the one to kill you.
