Lots of people who think they are “normal” tend to ask those types of questions and it bothers me because they aren’t seeing through what these guys are seeing. One person on the street might look at their town or city and think “this place is good and nothing really wrong goes on here” while the guy next to that person is thinking “This place needs help”. Very very boneheaded and not very perceptive.
He's got a black belt in some form of martial arts and is an MMA fighter, his wife purple reign goes to things like cancer awareness rallies, they are pretty helpful and kind people
Dev Justapug That doesnt show any sign of immaturity.... comics are written by adults. Read by adults. Besides, theyre wearing clothes that are extraordinary so they can be recognize by the cops and ppl in the street and not get confused with the criminals themselves.
Her opinions aside, she's actually the very first out of all the anchors who have covered news stories on superheroes that hasnt laughed or tried to make a lame joke. Good for her
A guy can identify as a woman put on a dress and Society is supposed to accept that but this gentleman can't be who he wants to be and do something positive. we've all dreamed about being a super hero when we were kids. this man has the courage to do it I respect that.
Yeah, but there could be all kinds of mishaps. Also the police get concerned for the vigilantes aswell because they are civilians and regular citizens, so therefore they are the police's responcibility.
Rubensteinsrevenge Don't you watch Arrow? Yes I know that's a show and fictional characters but it's based off stuff that if people trained in the right way, they could do in real life. Who's to say that a vigilante is ex-military? Or even a former martial arts champion? Or even an athlete who lost their shot at the pros but still wants to do something for the people? Fact of the matter is that Arrow has shown us that we can be vigilantes and being the police's concern, you have a point, but in the time vigilantes help the cops, it could lead them to what they're after. Many non policemen are licensed to carry guns as well as many trained in weapons combat. Take the Creepy Killer Clowns for example, a Batman stepped up and fought and I even saw some people dressed as Green Arrow and Deadpool, Spider-Man, Black Panther and Ant Man fighting off some around here. Police may go to the academy to train and catch criminals but civilians are capable of the same thing.
Rubensteinsrevenge I love Arrow and I was walking home from work one night when I saw the people dressed as the heroes fighting off the clowns, even on Halloween, I went hunting with some friends for the clowns after rumors of the clown purge surfacing, ran into the heroes again, cops told us to go home but we didn't. Reason the heroes never reaching the news was because the cops here don't want the people to know police couldn't do their job.
Chris Quinteros i shall become one of them.... Not because I think it's right, But because the police don't always get their on time.... I'm a punch first and call 911 after kind of person.
A friend once told me that criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot. That the only way to BEAT them was to give them something to be SCARED of. I understand now. As his world grew darker, so did ours. When his war ended, our lives could begin again. He set us free. To live. To love.
I know that these people don't actually "fight crime" and that this is ripped from Batman, but if you want to actually make a difference and create less criminals you have to create fear. Without fear they just see some guy in a costume with a taser. But when they're scared that's when they begin to stop.
Phoenix Jones is a real MMA fighter though. His real name is Benjamin Fodor. To date, his record is 6 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. As a crime fighter, he's been stabbed, had his nose broken and supposedly, been shot.
You know I think they're doing good, they're not wusses or Babys or anything they're just doing their best within the law(personally I would not stick so close to the law)
If you watch their youtube channel, you'll see these guys are actually helping. They've helped a guy who cracked his had, prevented a guy from getting in his car while drunk. If only more people were like this.
My name is Benjamin Fodor. For 5 years I became Phoenix jones to fulfil my own wish to punish those who poison my city. To do this I have to become someone else. I have to become something else.
The concern of the police is that vigilantes do police work better than police. A vigilante can prevent crime while cops respond to a crime that's already been committed.
Red Dragon you carry around a wooden sword a 3 am..... lol And cops carry what??? Pistols, pepper spray, tazer, billy club, shot gun, assault riffle, hand cuffs, battering rams, ect....... XD Who you fooling?
Personally I think this is a very noble duty and I believe all their intentions are good. I don’t think you need to wear a costume to be a hero though, I just think if everyone did what these people were doing we could all make the community a better place
Sad thing is, if the actual police had the attitude that these guy have, we'd be in much better shape. Everyone just judges the cover without appreciating the message.
Jones you are awesome! And you sound very intelligent. I really hope more people like you start hitting the streets because goddamn the stuff I see all the time!
If cops did their jobs we wouldn't have to do it for them, more power to you!!! Police are like ambulances they usually get there once damage is done...
i hate when people say batmans got gadgets batman has mastered every type of martial arts known to man he also is the worlds greatest detective and he has genius level intellect
I'm really sorry. But it's hard to take these guys seriously when they dress up in spandex, purposely draw attention to themselves, and are patrolling SEATTLE......of all cities (ranked 4th safest city by Forbes). You want to fight crime? Go to Chicago, Orlando, or Detroit. Horrible crimes happen almost every day in these cities. People getting shot, knived, raped. Most of them end up unreported due to threats or due to a lack of competent police (Chicago is well known for this). The most these guys do is stop some drunk guy from driving or break up a fight. Are you kidding me? Why not save the people who are actually in trouble. I appreciate that these guys have good motives and are trying to help out, but - again - they're not really targeting the main issues. Also, I would prefer it if they wouldn't come out and just openly show themselves to the camera to attract attention. A real superhero wouldn't do that.

yeah they don't fight crime the snitch on them but I wish I have a chance to meet them so I can tell them to turn a blind eye on the demon king of darkness and his army
jagjit bhatia You say a real superhero wouldn't do that. These guys are real. Ever seen Batman irl? Didn't think so. This is the realist superheroes we've seen thus far. You don't know how people would react. You can't compare these guys to anyone because they're the only ones. Nobody has superpowers
Her face is pissing me off, these guys are doing well for their community and the fact that the media even has to question it is why the world is a fucked up place to live in
just remember everyone is a Hero when you make a positive impact on the World or someone's life. These guys are actively seeking to help people with their Values and fame, I don't see a problem with this. A real Superhero would never advertise their motives for the Police, Governments or Media Justice is Blind and obey the Laws of Man only Universal Laws are important.
I think that these respectable heroes are needed in Seattle or pretty much anywhere in the world. And to see only a human being that has the courage to do these type of things and especially with a family too much much respect to these heroes making an everyday life in Seattle great.
ok im not gonna do this shit at all but if u really were to do something to stop crime, u can't be known, let people find out about you, dont show off. Do these guys have any experience or something? wtf is walking the street gonna do? you gotta get police radio and get to the crime before they do, come out clean without any of your traces. I understand they want to help but then they do small crimes, one's that cops can do. And the fact that he gave out information about himself on the news? come on man, want to stay secret, dont talk about your kids and family. some people can get sources to find you bro.
+ThePraetor phoenix jones actually has been an mma fighter since 2006, 6-1 record. his brother is in the ufc right now. and he stopped a pistol whipping in 2015. still seems silly as shit though.
dcfromcc ok he has some fighting experience but doesn't make him batman tho. His costume at least cost like 1,000 dollars including the get up with it. I know he is doing this to inspire people to not be afraid and stay strong but kids will get the wrong idea. This guy had very little experience with this( not saying I have) but come on be low key af with who you are when ur behind a mask.
that 1st camera shot of them sitting in the studio was priceless hahaha! i almost spit out my ice cream! this IS KICK-ASS! one guy had a wife and kids...what a friggin thing to do >:) at least he not being jeffry dahmer but its all stupid and funny until you run into the joker and he makes you pay for being batman!!
+Red Hood They aren't if they wanted to make a difference they wouldn't be all over the news and would be more like Dexter which wont happen anytime soon.
+Wade Mercer I think if they wanna stop crime, they need to come off as more threatening, like Batman is. A medium height guy in a yellow black costume that walks up to you and asks what the problem is, is not menacing.
Red Hood Exactly and they need crime solving skills like in forensics and criminology. I know a lot of people are saying he has mma training, but just because he can fight a guy 1 on 1 does not mean he can solve and stop crimes.
+Red Hood the difference is they are ACTUALLY standing for something instead of turning their backs while people beat people. Kudos for them at least attempting to stop violence and crime
I think hero’s and people that are willing to put there lives on the line are very underrated and I believe that the country and world would benefit a lot from people like this!! Real life superhero’s??? Why does it have to sound like a TV thing? It could actually be a real legitimate thing!!! That we can see, hear and gain hope! Hope is everything.
real heroes dont involve their personal life. if they are an actual threat, then the crime organization will take them out of will try. So, if these are heroes, why arent they being attacked? because they are not a real threat, or at least not yet. this is a serious situation that if you do become a so called hero, then expect the worst and you might even lose your life if you become a threat to the thugs.
We need superheroes fighting ISIS. Even if they were vigilantes. In that case, we could have real ground fighting without involving whole countries in messy political situations.
Bacon Bruh yea if i become a vigilante im going to be fighting the huge things. Some things in my city.bur ny plan is to go global. First in my city i learn all different marrial arts and how ro use a gun. Then in my city i will go for human trafficking because unfortunately we have a lot of that in my city. Then i go global
Tobynwyatt Bingham While being a vigilante would be super cool, I would have no idea where or how to start. Crime is constantly happening all over this country.
They are doing the right thing for being superheroes and fighting crime they are doing something people usually may not do or they'd have second thoughts about it. I think they are great and the world needs more people like them! Superheroes protect and serve.
I've gone a patrol with dragon once. So from experience I know they are trying to help people it's a little bid odd wondering around with a guy dressed up in kimono and ski mask but I've done and been to Megacon in florida and compared to some of those outfits these guys are pretty normal looking. besides they do accomplish a lot more in a day then a police officer does in a week. which is sad honestly, They earned my respect personally I was wearing a hoodie when I was with em to avoid issues.
The advantage of a vigilante with secret identity is that they will not be easily compromise. It has become the problem of the law enforcement agencies all over the world. The criminals, especially organized crime, always sought to compromise the law enforcement officer by going around their uniform and into their private lives. On the other hand, secret identity means the vigilante is not accountable to anyone. So that mean's their service and their benefit to the society is entirely on their own conscience. If this conscience fail, there's no way to indicted them beyond their pseudonym.
These guys are hero's, they are helping and if police think they're not helping then they need to find away to bring their forces together but most people see a uniformed RLSH and they start to think it's a game.
I'm all for vigilante's but legit serious knowledgable one's with special skills perhaps ex military and officers, free runners martial artists mma ufc you know someone who has knowledge and true training in defense because unfort people are quick to shoot you and stuff. We need more vigilantes and less cops know why? because vigilantes get nothing from saving a life nor stopping a crime no temptation to be corrupt. as for the uniforms I under why many reasons to hide their idenity from people who have power to find them and hurt their loved ones or them,it does draw attention to the cops and does help them understand a little more who to arrest. and they can have weapons and vests on under it. but it needs to be well invested into.
I think what we all really need is a real life dexter... Get a whole lot more done than these guys. I'm sorry but unless you but fear into criminals then they're just gonna keep doing what they do and I don't see anyone getting scared by these guys. If they just found out weather or not the person did a crime then beat the shit out of them then told them never to speak of it happening shit I'd be scared of that if I was a criminal.
there are a few things i have to say, first i think what their doing is cool and all and i like it but their going at it all wrong, i wouldnt wear suits like those cause theyre not intimidating and it doesnt give much movability for the wearer, i wouldve have gone more with combat gear and not made it look like a superhero maybe more like red good but with darker colours and no symbols. One of the MAJOR problems i have is that they go on tv and "patrol" so openly and they give people their identities i mean phoneix jones used his real name as his superhero name like wtf, imagine if batman was just called bruce wayne his hero name was bruce wayne, also no one takes them seriously cause they go walk around the streets and stop only petty crime, to be making a difference they should be going after things like drug rings or smaller terrorist groups not small things like stopping a street brawl or a drunk guy leave that to the police and do it in the shadows they do so openly and they go on tv when they know that their going to be laughed at i mean no offence but theyre practically 2 ninjas and a ripoff nightwing with weird mask, also they dont show any real skills for this sort of thing, sure phoneix jones is trained in mma but thats only one slow martial arts and its not as brutal as others, i would learn and master at least 2 martial arts before and practice alot, another important thing is that they are good with tracking, forensics and (not to sound cheesy but i dont know what word) detective skills. For exaple like i said before if their trying to find a big drug centre they would need skills like these to find them. Another problem i have is (i know this is stupid and silly) they should do things through fear and silently, like i know this could get you arrested but like interrogate someone to a point where their so afraid that they give you what you need, and maybe just maybe (though very very very unlikely) the police will over look you beating up people like you see in most superhero movies but they are just movies so the best thing that could happen is for them to at least take you seriously even though that probably means that youd have to deal with police and be charged with assault but thats why you have a secret identity, so that they cant find you or if you think things are getting to out of hand you can quit it all and no one will even know it was you. And finally they have no reason to do this the city they live in (seattle) is not that bad a place that you need to do this, you should only do this if you like in a city like gotham where crime is everywhere and (this is important) only if the police are corrupt and cant do or wont do their job then you could take things into your own hands because police arent doing their job but these police look ok and i cant think of any city in the world like this (please tell if you know of one). So thats what i think about this, overall i think what their their doing is good and im all for it nothing against them this is just how i think they should do it
Dean Lycett true i never really thought of that but he really shouldnt be telling people that he has a family because if he ever gets into a tough situation then the police will probably know
arvin bhattacharya WOW THAT WAS A LOT AND I ACTUALLY READ IT but I'll become a vigilante and go to new york and basically be like spiderman (web-shooters, sticky glovers, kevlar boots and vest and face shell) let me know if you want to see my suit
phoenix listen... im 100% behind u in all of this but just take into consideration what getting other ppl involved can do to them but overall keep doing wat u doing :)
Wanna be superheros?no they are superheros they make an impact on this world.They arnt doing eney thing wrong.They're trying to help and it seem that no one respects that but I do I think they're amazing.
You know she does ask some bone headed questions, "Why do you hide your identity?" Like are you serious?

I think that these respectable heroes are needed in Seattle or pretty much anywhere in the world. And to see only a human being that has the courage to do these type of things and especially with a family too much much respect to these heroes making an everyday life in Seattle great.
ok im not gonna do this shit at all but if u really were to do something to stop crime, u can't be known, let people find out about you, dont show off. Do these guys have any experience or something? wtf is walking the street gonna do? you gotta get police radio and get to the crime before they do, come out clean without any of your traces. I understand they want to help but then they do small crimes, one's that cops can do. And the fact that he gave out information about himself on the news? come on man, want to stay secret, dont talk about your kids and family. some people can get sources to find you bro.
+ThePraetor i completely agree, i mean he uses his real name as his superhero name
+ThePraetor phoenix jones actually has been an mma fighter since 2006, 6-1 record. his brother is in the ufc right now. and he stopped a pistol whipping in 2015. still seems silly as shit though.
dcfromcc ok he has some fighting experience but doesn't make him batman tho. His costume at least cost like 1,000 dollars including the get up with it. I know he is doing this to inspire people to not be afraid and stay strong but kids will get the wrong idea. This guy had very little experience with this( not saying I have) but come on be low key af with who you are when ur behind a mask.
Phoenix Jones once saved a dudes life, just wanna throw that out there
that 1st camera shot of them sitting in the studio was priceless hahaha! i almost spit out my ice cream! this IS KICK-ASS! one guy had a wife and kids...what a friggin thing to do >:) at least he not being jeffry dahmer but its all stupid and funny until you run into the joker and he makes you pay for being batman!!
I don't really think they're making too much of a difference.
+Red Hood They aren't if they wanted to make a difference they wouldn't be all over the news and would be more like Dexter which wont happen anytime soon.
+Wade Mercer I think if they wanna stop crime, they need to come off as more threatening, like Batman is. A medium height guy in a yellow black costume that walks up to you and asks what the problem is, is not menacing.
Red Hood Exactly and they need crime solving skills like in forensics and criminology. I know a lot of people are saying he has mma training, but just because he can fight a guy 1 on 1 does not mean he can solve and stop crimes.
+Wade Mercer Exactly.
+Red Hood the difference is they are ACTUALLY standing for something instead of turning their backs while people beat people. Kudos for them at least attempting to stop violence and crime
The guy in the middle looks like hes got a difficult time moving
So they're both heroes and hoaxers
Burton's style
So what should I just let myself get stabbed?
Hell at least they are doing something!
I think hero’s and people that are willing to put there lives on the line are very underrated and I believe that the country and world would benefit a lot from people like this!!
Real life superhero’s??? Why does it have to sound like a TV thing? It could actually be a real legitimate thing!!! That we can see, hear and gain hope! Hope is everything.
real heroes dont involve their personal life. if they are an actual threat, then the crime organization will take them out of will try. So, if these are heroes, why arent they being attacked? because they are not a real threat, or at least not yet. this is a serious situation that if you do become a so called hero, then expect the worst and you might even lose your life if you become a threat to the thugs.
Jesus, this is like the beginning of an Incredibles movie. Where the news are like “Are Superhero’s Actually Fighting Crime?”
We need superheroes fighting ISIS. Even if they were vigilantes. In that case, we could have real ground fighting without involving whole countries in messy political situations.
Owldude000 yes dude.
Bacon Bruh yea if i become a vigilante im going to be fighting the huge things. Some things in my city.bur ny plan is to go global. First in my city i learn all different marrial arts and how ro use a gun. Then in my city i will go for human trafficking because unfortunately we have a lot of that in my city. Then i go global
Also fiber muscles that boost strength and a drone attached to the back that allows flight.
it's so cool that we have real life super heros it's awesome
when I'm an adult,me and my friends are moving to Seattle to join these heros
Tobynwyatt Bingham While being a vigilante would be super cool, I would have no idea where or how to start. Crime is constantly happening all over this country.
Sadly, he retired in 2019.
God this is how your mom would explain a TH-cam career to her parents. So condescending but not in any overt manner.
man i appreciate them.but this is nothing like a real vigilante would do.i think a vigilante shouldn't walk on streets.Lol!
BUMİN KHAN Wanna know about REAL vigilantes? Look up for Sombra Negra.
They are doing the right thing for being superheroes and fighting crime they are doing something people usually may not do or they'd have second thoughts about it. I think they are great and the world needs more people like them! Superheroes protect and serve.
wtf is this , kickass?
I've gone a patrol with dragon once. So from experience I know they are trying to help people it's a little bid odd wondering around with a guy dressed up in kimono and ski mask but I've done and been to Megacon in florida and compared to some of those outfits these guys are pretty normal looking. besides they do accomplish a lot more in a day then a police officer does in a week. which is sad honestly, They earned my respect personally I was wearing a hoodie when I was with em to avoid issues.
wheres aiden pearce?
Most likely pretending to be batman by brooding and shit
I was wondering too...
Red Dragon, Phoenix Jones, and
Buster Do 😉
one day I'm gonna go against them since I'm a villain
The advantage of a vigilante with secret identity is that they will not be easily compromise. It has become the problem of the law enforcement agencies all over the world. The criminals, especially organized crime, always sought to compromise the law enforcement officer by going around their uniform and into their private lives.
On the other hand, secret identity means the vigilante is not accountable to anyone. So that mean's their service and their benefit to the society is entirely on their own conscience. If this conscience fail, there's no way to indicted them beyond their pseudonym.
does anybody know if any other heros out there have been having the clown problem?
The clowns are apart of a secret operation there leader is the joker and Phoenix jones must stop them
These guys are hero's, they are helping and if police think they're not helping then they need to find away to bring their forces together but most people see a uniformed RLSH and they start to think it's a game.
JC RECS GAMES no...batman must stop him
No I Must Prematurely
Patron Hero don't take them seriously.
Their group name should be the Super Snitches 😂
LOL after watching this.
This needs to be a comic and movie
I wanna live here just to meet them lol
Not going to lie. If I was bigger and had the equipment, I'd love to do this.
I'm all for vigilante's but legit serious knowledgable one's with special skills perhaps ex military and officers, free runners martial artists mma ufc you know someone who has knowledge and true training in defense because unfort people are quick to shoot you and stuff. We need more vigilantes and less cops know why? because vigilantes get nothing from saving a life nor stopping a crime no temptation to be corrupt. as for the uniforms I under why many reasons to hide their idenity from people who have power to find them and hurt their loved ones or them,it does draw attention to the cops and does help them understand a little more who to arrest. and they can have weapons and vests on under it. but it needs to be well invested into.
We need just as many cops my friend.
and also I love superheros thank you guys
I think what we all really need is a real life dexter... Get a whole lot more done than these guys. I'm sorry but unless you but fear into criminals then they're just gonna keep doing what they do and I don't see anyone getting scared by these guys. If they just found out weather or not the person did a crime then beat the shit out of them then told them never to speak of it happening shit I'd be scared of that if I was a criminal.
No, we don't need more murderers. From what I know Dexter kills people, where's the justice in that?
@@silverpaladin0710 He kills people that kill people.
I appreciate these people. and what there trying to do.
there are a few things i have to say, first i think what their doing is cool and all and i like it but their going at it all wrong, i wouldnt wear suits like those cause theyre not intimidating and it doesnt give much movability for the wearer, i wouldve have gone more with combat gear and not made it look like a superhero maybe more like red good but with darker colours and no symbols. One of the MAJOR problems i have is that they go on tv and "patrol" so openly and they give people their identities i mean phoneix jones used his real name as his superhero name like wtf, imagine if batman was just called bruce wayne his hero name was bruce wayne, also no one takes them seriously cause they go walk around the streets and stop only petty crime, to be making a difference they should be going after things like drug rings or smaller terrorist groups not small things like stopping a street brawl or a drunk guy leave that to the police and do it in the shadows they do so openly and they go on tv when they know that their going to be laughed at i mean no offence but theyre practically 2 ninjas and a ripoff nightwing with weird mask, also they dont show any real skills for this sort of thing, sure phoneix jones is trained in mma but thats only one slow martial arts and its not as brutal as others, i would learn and master at least 2 martial arts before and practice alot, another important thing is that they are good with tracking, forensics and (not to sound cheesy but i dont know what word) detective skills. For exaple like i said before if their trying to find a big drug centre they would need skills like these to find them. Another problem i have is (i know this is stupid and silly) they should do things through fear and silently, like i know this could get you arrested but like interrogate someone to a point where their so afraid that they give you what you need, and maybe just maybe (though very very very unlikely) the police will over look you beating up people like you see in most superhero movies but they are just movies so the best thing that could happen is for them to at least take you seriously even though that probably means that youd have to deal with police and be charged with assault but thats why you have a secret identity, so that they cant find you or if you think things are getting to out of hand you can quit it all and no one will even know it was you. And finally they have no reason to do this the city they live in (seattle) is not that bad a place that you need to do this, you should only do this if you like in a city like gotham where crime is everywhere and (this is important) only if the police are corrupt and cant do or wont do their job then you could take things into your own hands because police arent doing their job but these police look ok and i cant think of any city in the world like this (please tell if you know of one). So thats what i think about this, overall i think what their their doing is good and im all for it nothing against them this is just how i think they should do it
ok so apparently his real name isnt phoenix jones my mistake
+arvin bhattacharya maby for the other two it would be good to be feared but for phoenix he has a wife and kids
Dean Lycett true i never really thought of that but he really shouldnt be telling people that he has a family because if he ever gets into a tough situation then the police will probably know
arvin bhattacharya WOW THAT WAS A LOT AND I ACTUALLY READ IT but I'll become a vigilante and go to new york and basically be like spiderman (web-shooters, sticky glovers, kevlar boots and vest and face shell) let me know if you want to see my suit
Meh Too I Have The strenght to do chin ups and am a ten year old And can do parkour ;)
i like the fact that some one to fight back and show that some superheros are real
I will be a hero one day
aww its so touching to helping homless people
My name is Oliver Queen. After five years in hell, I have come home with only one goal - to save my city.
I personally think that the only Real life superheroes are the Police Officers and firefighters that Actually save peoples lives
phoenix listen... im 100% behind u in all of this but just take into consideration what getting other ppl involved can do to them but overall keep doing wat u doing :)
hahaha please everyone....if you become a vigilante at LEAST be able to kick someone's ass....Oh my god lol
"And tell us what you think about these caped crusaders"
Preeeeetty sure none of them are wearing capes.
Wanna be superheros?no they are superheros they make an impact on this world.They arnt doing eney thing wrong.They're trying to help and it seem that no one respects that but I do I think they're amazing.
I don't want discussions with masked vigilantes, I want pictures of Spider-Man!
