Since Kick Ass this is happening more and more.
You would think after watching an actor get shot and beat to near death (Kick Ass) would detour any Spandex crime fighting by a random citizen in real life. But it didn't and now we have guys out there like Phoenix Jones. Phoenix Jones is one crazy guy but he's got nuts the size of two 1 ton wrecking balls, yet, the Man of Steel he is not.
This from the SeattlePI:
'One of Seattle's self-proclaimed super heroes had his nose broken and was threatened at gunpoint Saturday, prompting police to again ask that he and others stop with the costumes and call 911.'
Notice the beginning of the quote said 'One of'. Does this mean there are more Seattle Super Heroes waiting in the wings? Is this the first of a long line of broken noses and pistol whipped Petes?
Phoenix Jones is having none of the 'Call 911' talk, last week on 'Good Morning America' Jones said calling 911 was like waving a white flag, in fact Phoenix had this to say in response:
"I endanger my life with a reason and a purpose."
Phoenix went on to say something that rings true to many defenseless victims of crime:
"If police aren't here, criminals feel free to run wild in my city," he continued. "And I'm not going to stand for it."
To which Seattle PD responded:
"Does Superman get his ass kicked?" one detective asked. "These people should not be called super heroes."
Hell yes they should! Forget about Team Edward or Team Jacob, I pick Team Phoenix! I wonder if the thugs and hoodlums of Seattle sit in fear saying 'Better not jack that old lady or The Guardian will come %^&* you up?' I serioulsy doubt it but I support Phoenix Jones!
Phoenix Jones, if you read this please send me an email, an Interview for CBM is definitely requested!
