Disabilities and self-defense

I totally agree with Bob J. Kunkel Jr. in this article, saying he believes disabilities don't matter when it comes to self defense.
The way I see it we all have limitations and advantages - stronger sides and weaker sides - be it physical, emotional, mental, verbal, tactical or otherwise.
And it is so easy to see any limitations that a given person has. Let us look at what we can achieve rather than what we can not do!

Story:
Kenkel is different from most peer visitors. Instead of only visiting to talk and offer encouragement to recovering war wounded, Kenkel possesses a unique skill which he believes every disable veteran should have -- the ability to defend themselves regardless of disability.

Kenkel said he feels these skills are important because, besides targeting an average person on the street, thieves are also likely to choose victims in wheelchairs or those using crutches.
