      <![CDATA[I don't think it's typical for a palm strike to drive the nose bone into the brain, unless you're really trying for that specifically. Breaking the cartilage would blacken the eyes and result in a "popping" noise, plus a really good bloody nose and blackened eyes.

      <![CDATA[As a victim of a similar attack I can understand the opinion of Mr. Hartman In my case it was a downkick to shatter his lower leg. The police in the city near to my hometoewn said the man had a warrant for violent acts with weapons outstanding but he still tried to press charges against me for assault and battery.

      <![CDATA[Clearly false, but even if it was true, you have a man who let a dangerously violent attacker escape without trying to contact the police at all. Then, enlarges his ego by posting the story on facebook and contacting a reporter about it.

      <![CDATA[This sort humble, self-deprecating story of heroism is very common, and is indicative of a complete fabrication. I fully believe that Hartman saw a thuggish man in the store, and crafted the fantasy around him.

      <![CDATA[What a tremendous show of restraint! A palm strike to the nose is (by design) typically intended to drive the cartilage of the nose between the frontal lobes of the brain, killing the victim almost instantly.<br>
<br>
Mr. Hartman should be praised for not taking the life of the man who attacked him when he had multiple opportunities and (some would say) justification to apply deadly force.<br>
<br>
Personally, I prefer joint locks and dislocated limbs to guarantee I won't be followed, but that's just me...

      <![CDATA[hey, i used to live downtown Portland, one night i was walking back home with my friend but when we turned a corner there was long stretch of road with one street light and a baglady standing under it. she was just staring at us the whole stretch until we passed her, so not like 3 seconds after going past i got shoved hard from behind(i was wearing a back pack full of junk) the baglady had ran up and shoved me then yelled at us for laughing at her when we had walked by(we never even made a sound because she looked crazy).
