(Source: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/13/us-superhero-arrest-idUSTRE79B4DI20111013)Reuters said:Self-proclaimed Seattle superhero Phoenix Jones, a vigilante crime-fighter accused of assault, made his first court appearance on Thursday, but prosecutors have so far declined to charge him.
Apparently this guy dresses up, and true to the stereotype, fights crime!
Reuters said:Fodor said he felt confident that a 13-minute video of Sunday's altercation, taken by a member of his entourage, proved him innocent of wrongdoing.
Police said Fodor assaulted a group of men and women as they were leaving a nightclub early on Sunday morning "dancing and having a good time" in the street.
The video, which was posted on the Internet, showed Fodor being alerted to what he believed to be a "huge fight," then rushing on foot toward a crowd yelling "call 911" and wading into the group with a can of pepper spray.
Hmm, obviously I need to see the video (can't watch it at work), but I can't imagine he just assaulted a group of people. Well, then again...
Reuters said:Fodor and his supporters were initially angry that his real identity was exposed by media reports after his arrest.
Oh, geeze. He didn't even make it to the "evil nemesis" stage before being unmasked.
