Growing trend: young people attacking old people, for no good reason.

I once read that during the Middle Ages in parts of Europe, when a location had too many old people and a burden on society, the young would murder the old and the people doing the killing would force a smile while they did it.

Supposedly is the origins of the term and definition of "Sardonic smile." To force a smile while doing an unpleasant task.

Cane defense is also readily taught in Canada, where longtime martial artist Ted Truscott (through Defend Yourself 101) teaches senior citizens how to defend themselves with canes. His students practice warm-ups, footwork (such as side-stepping and the Filipino martial arts “triangle step”), swinging strikes, tip thrusting and bar smashes with the cane, emphasizing actually hitting targets while stringing together techniques into applied scenario fighting drills.
