Well I cant say I have ever seen anyone with a crushed larynx. But I can say that I have hit someone in the throat and watched them croak like a frog trying to get a breath. And my opinion is, not that it matters, it worked for self defense purposes very well. And also for the record, I had no problem hitting him in the throat without crushing his larynx. You don't have to kill someone when you hit them there. I have no desire to maim or kill someone, but I also wouldn't hesitate to poke someone in the eye or strike them in the throat should I feel I need to. But, Like I said before, To each his own. :asian:
