Lock him up, throw away the key.. The guy obviously has mental issues. Good that he's been arrested.

Too many wannabe's in this world. Remember those Guardian Angels? I'd of loved to see one of those get a proper kicking.

Why? They're only trying to make their neighbourhoods safer. Most people praised the coming together of locals to protect their communities during the London riots. If you make improving the security of your neighbourhood a full time priority, why does that make you an idiot? It's much more effective than little yellow signs that say "neighbourhood watch" or whatever and is nothing more than a weekly meeting to drink tea, eat cake and involves lots of curtain twitching and complaining about how long the neighbours grass has gotten.

What in the world!
Why does he have mental issues for wanting to make his neighbourhood safer?
If he is stopping crimes from happening then I don't see the problem.
I think you can currently volunteer to become a community police officer, not really sure about the details though. Which would probably be better than it being unregulated.

I just some of the video linked in the article, why do some women think it's ok to hit men without getting anything in return, i can't stand bitchy women like that, they need more than a bit of pepper spray, they deserve a good slap themselves.

So what if the teacher does a backward punch?
Technically he/she won't be watching.

They're even worse in groups, have you seen some of the young gangs of (usually black) girls that go around and steal and beat random people up in the US, it's crazy, most guys just stand and take it when a girl hits them which just makes it worse, fair enough if it doesn't hurt or do much but if it's an unprovoked attack then guys should respond with equal force and defend themselves.

Tephnos · 12 Oct 2011 at 21:37

If a random girl hits me for no reason, I will smack her like I would any other guy.

NeoReloaded · 12 Oct 2011 at 21:39

Lol at the girl falling over near the start of the video after he sprays them! He reminds me of that guy in The Dark Knight dressed at Batman at the start in the parking lot!

There's a HUGE difference between communities coming together and helping each other during the riots, than dressing up like a clown to make a statement that you're some kind of super hero.

I've seen a documentary on these so called real life super hero's. All of them were WEIRDO'S. Like living at home at 40yrs old, or by themselves in some dungy little place, all of them doing some form of martial art and worshiping Steven Segal as their god. All having a screw loose.

Yep I'd sit back and enjoy watching them take a kicking. Bunch of Freaks.

Don't think it is.

Using pepper spray like that prob is, beating people up is - but someone could probably dress up as a chump and make citizens arrests within the law AFAIK.

Your comment was about the Guardian Angels. Not random superheroes. So maybe you want to try responding to that.

Guardian Angels dressed up and wanted to come across as super hero's didn't they...

Didn't last long when a few took a good kicking mind..

You do you realize that you are posting on a computer forum where most people could be described as what you just described them as?
It's funny how the basis of your whole argument is ad hominem and what would happen if a hundred people in the community dressed up as superheroes? You don't see the picture, these "superheroes" are selfless, how many people do you know who help their community which involves such a large risk of harm?

No. They didn't. They wore red berets so people knew who they were and not just another gang. I find it retarded that you would derive pleasure from people assaulting those that try and make their neighbourhoods a better place. I also suggest you read up on the Guardian Angels and see what they do aside from being a presence in an area to deter crime.

Your comments are stupid.

Really should defend themselves but some people believe so strongly in the old ideal of never hitting a lady! Friend of mine got heavily beaten up by a girl back in my school days, he didnt even try to grab her and stop her....

Dont think i could hit a girl...push her away if she was attacking me but I just find the idea of actually hitting a girl really repulsive...old fashioned and probs a bit sexist but there it is.
