So. ‘Phoenix Jones,’ some dude in Seattle who wears a cape/mask outfit and stops crime with a stun gun and fists got his nose broken over the weekend after trying to stop a night-time brawl. Surprise! Local police have advised Jones and the rest of his super-team (‘Red Dragon’ & ‘Buster Joe’) to stop getting involved in dangerous situations.

Jones was in a couple of articles a few months ago for being the weird-looking guy ‘going on patrol’ in latex around Seattle, tazing would-be drunk drivers and handing out Taco Bell to the homeless in an attempt to stop crime. His methods, it would seem, have not been full-proof:

“They were all swearing at each other and like about to fight,” Phoenix said. So he stepped in to break up the brawl and one of the guys turned on him.

“He starts swinging on me and starts an altercation with me.”

Phoenix said he called 911, put one of the men in a headlock and waited for police. But seconds later, Phoenix said, another man pulled out a gun.

When he let go of the man he was holding, the man kicked Phoenix in the face, breaking his nose. Both men got away.

There are a couple of snide comments to make about this, but none of them really make full use of the material.
