No Charges For Masked Superhero ‘Phoenix Jones’
Super heroes exist!
I have to say, I like this guy.
Let me be clear: I don’t recommend or endorse his behavior. At the very least, it’s dangerous, possibly fatally so. And not only could it get you hurt, it can get other, innocent people hurt as well.
But I have a thing for superheroes. I have a thing for men in tights in general. I can’t help but smile and be happy that not only is he okay, but that charges have been dropped.
Score one for the good guys. :)

Seattle (CNN) — Self-styled superhero Phoenix Jones unmasked himself before the cameras Thursday and vowed to keep fighting crime after prosecutors declined to press assault charges against him in a weekend altercation.
Jones — who told reporters his real name is Ben Fodor — routinely patrols downtown Seattle streets decked out in a skintight black-and-gold rubber suit and mask. He was arrested early Sunday on four counts of assault after police said he attacked a group of people leaving a nightclub with pepper spray. A spokesman for Fodor said he was trying to break up a fight.
