Seattle Vigilante Behind Bars

Seattle superhero Phoenix Jones is under arrest for pepper spraying two people "fighting" but ended up spraying four people. The four people sprayed claim that they were just dancing while walking back to their car. Police arrested Fodor at 2:30am while wearing his costume consisting of black and gold clothing, a bullet proof vest, and two cans of pepper spray.

The masked vigilante has been unmasked as Benjamin Fodor, husband and father of two children. He and a group of other masked vigilantes have gained notoriety and national attention drawing the likes of Good Morning America. Real life crime fighting superheroes aren't as uncommon as you might think. There have been groups developing in communities such as Orlando, New York, and Salt Lake City.

The Seattle Police Department has stated that they commend Fodor in his efforts to uphold justice and civic duty in the streets of Seattle, however they maintain that citizen vigilantes,
"They don't have the training. They don't have the authority."

They also state that there is a line between being a helpful citizen and risking harm. The Seattle Police Department claim that these efforts are not illegal however citizens should refrain from entering unnecessarily into volatile situations. Even after breaking up a fight you have to wait for police to arrest the criminal.

For all the crime fighters out there and all the citizens being protected by them Seattle movers are the justice guided Seattle moving companies that work hard to fight problems and generate your moving solutions.
