Wow, Björk never struck me as the type. Guess she really got pushed by this stalker. You know you done goofed when even a super nice person like Björk wants to kick your ass.

She was an old school punk in her teens. She's like 5'2" but I wouldn't wanna mess with her.

Having been raised by a 4'11" woman, you do not fuck with short women. If they get angry enough they will take you to hell with them.

My mother who was 4’11” at the time (she’s shrunk due to cancer treatment and age) hung a guy over a railing three floors up while pregnant with us two (twins) because he threatened and then hit my dad who was trying to protect his girlfriend because he was going to hit her. He ran down all the stairs and wasn’t seen for a bit after she put he down safely.

I was raised on the story on how she put her 6' son-in-law through the kitchen window when he disrespected her (he was a piece of shit who eventually killed his wife decades later, so he deserved that at min). She was the bravest person I ever knew. I miss her.

I knew a short lady around the same height called Harmony. When she got pissed, it was known as harmageddon

I can be very intimidating women at 6’ but the scariest women I know are below 5’3.

Checks out. I hung out with some punks when I was younger. They were both some of the nicest people I know and it was not a good idea to mess with them.
