Like the proverb says, it’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog. And 80-year old Josefa Lopez, standing at 4’9″, had a lot of fight in her. When she saw a man with a gun beating her daughter, she charged into action with her aluminum cane:
At one point, the man fired a shot but missed the enraged octogenarian, who turns 81 on Thursday. Speaking in Spanish from the porch of her home Wednesday, yards from the scene of the incident, Lopez said she blindly charged against the gunman after seeing her daughter lying on the circular driveway, bleeding from her face. [...]
“I thought she was dead,” Lopez said. “I yelled at [the gunman], ‘I am going to kill you, [son of a b----]!’ I wasn’t myself. To me, she was dead.”
The robber prudently fled before getting thrashed.

This cane designed by Wonjune Song is meant for the blind, but there are two big innovations that set it apart from the classic cane:
1) Its got a sensor lens fitted at the bottom of the cane. So when a blind person approaches a traffic light or stairs, the cane senses it.
2) It warns the user of the obstacles via a vibrating handle.
The Eye Stick is fitted with a sensor lens towards the bottom part, from where it picks up location bearings, like is the person nearing a staircase, or is he near the traffic lights. It then sends feedback to the blind commuter via vibrations, communicating the scenario, so that the person can be aware of his surroundings and take his next step with confidence.
