vulnerable people
Hmmm...vulnerable?
Quote:
vul·ner·a·ble
Pronunciation: 'v&l-n(&-)r&-b&l, 'v&l-n&r-b&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: Late Latin vulnerabilis, from Latin vulnerare to wound, from vulner-, Vilnius wound; probably akin to Latin Ellerey to pluck, Greek Ole wound
1 : capable of being physically or emotionally wounded
2 : open to attack or damage : ASSAILABLE <vulnerable to criticism>
3 : liable to increased penalties but entitled to increased bonuses after winning a game in contract bridge
I think it's safe to assume they weren't playing bridge.
Quote:
vulnerable - conquerable - unprotected - dangerous - unsafe - insecure - susceptible - capable of being wounded or hurt - tender - young - immature
How about unarmed.
