So what does size have to do with it??

Size has to do with "perception" for an attacker, not in actual defensive abilities.

If you had a choice of mugging a BIG guy, or an old woman...which would you choose?

I was just funnin' with sun' comments about being "a bigger male."

Not only does someone's physical stature come into play, so does the manner in which they carry themselves. Walking with determination, looking around and making eye contact makes you less of a target.

Criminals will always prey on people they perceive to be easy or weak. Less risk. There are however some exceptional cases where the norm does not apply. Crimes of passion and revenge killings are 2 such cases.

When a group of 12 people swarm someone and beat the crap out of that person, I do not think that size matters. 12 against one, and the one has a chance only if they are carrying a gun or have body odour!

unless you have it out and ready a weapon will not help in a swarming.

when you are swarmed it is difficult to breath, never mind have the ability to pull out a gun to use on the swarmers,

If you are able to remain somewhat calm in such a situation and are able to gain a few seconds by running, you should be able to pull out a semi-auto pistol, c**k it and fire.

A good marksman should be able to hit a few of them center mass while running. A poor marksman should be able to get a few shots off, enough to scare the sh1t out of them and maybe even hit one or 2 of them.

I dont think you quite understand what a swarming involves. You dont have the opportunity to run. They dont run up to you saying hey buddy me and my friends are going to kick your ass.. you better run.

Here in Italy, they come at you one at a time, with the rest of the gang following nearby, just in case the aggression goes bad. It is a bit scary in certain Italian cities (during the day). At night, I've never tried that outside where I live now. I do, however, keep an eye on my surroundings when I'm out late and headed home.
Baby gangs are the new real menace. They're hard to control and their lawyers are always ready to defend them. The (world) system stinks, and this is what will eventually destroy humanity, more sooner than later...
