I'm Dantavius. Phoenix Jones was a Real Life Super Hero Who Faught Crime in Seattle in the 2010's. Honestly dude is cool as hell, I kind of made fun of him in my video but I respect the guy, I mean he's still kind of insane but cool nonetheless.
Shout out to Ryan McNamee and the Avant/Garde Diaries for providing great footage of Jones.

Here's the punchline: you can't take a windshield out even with a crowbar. They are heavily laminated to keep the passengers from potentially being thrown through them. Furthermore, even if it WAS one of the other 5 windows that DO shatter, they shatter into those little half cm cubes of safety glass....safety glass would be very very difficult to even *intentionally* break skin with, let alone necessitate an emergency room visit. Safety glass is about as sharp as a zipper.

Why would someone just carry around a dirty ski mask that belonged to a theif? This dude has been a lying piece of shit from the start and I can't believe no one called bullshit on his glass story or wanted to see proof of his kid's scars and medical bills. Also, if he really has a son, that means a mother and possibly grandparents allowed that bullshit origin story to fly just so this idiot could cosplay.

Impossible. People have bills to pay and the system is stacked against them. The police would be against you and so would criminals. Think about it. In cities like detroit a guy like this wouldn't last a day and would probably get jumped by a mob of a hundred people. Going after petty thieves is one thing but in order to be an actual super hero you would need an ultra high budget with the backing of the police. One guy in a suit is still just one guy despite all the bells and whistles in the costume. He had a good run but it was bound to get to his head at some point. He is lucky he didn't run into any real criminals that don't care about anyones safety. One guy could flatten this guy with something as simple as a car. Humans have to play it smart a costume is like having one big sign saying "Look at me!" The real crooks are not seen and you wont see them coming. You will just wake up in a hospital wondering where your wallet is.

So instead of backing him up, they take advantage of some made up charges by drunk people, that might have been a set up. They arrest him to make him out to be the villain, and ruin his whole life. The the majority of the sheep always believe the crooked media, because they are such cowards, that they can't possibly believe that anyone in their right mind would do a good thing, unless they were getting something out of it. So then everyone turns against him, just like the politicians, cops and media knew they would, because they don't want to actually work against crime themselves. Because they might be making money off this crime too, why would they stop it. Well there you go cowards keep your messed up cities. You deserve all the criminals you have, and more.

noone "let" his ego get the better of him, he always had an ego-problem. people have seemingly become deluded by comic books, and need to seperate real life from fiction to understand that this guy was never representing a good thing. in real life, no "good samaritan" would actually create an alternate persona with a flamboyant costume because they are serving the "greater good of humanity", without being a completely delusional egomaniac seeking external validation and attention. he seemed more concerned about emulating ficitonal characters in comic books, than actually being a real-life "vigilante". Any serious attempt of vigilantism in real life would certainly be done in secrecy or as a group/movement, not getting infront of a camera and pretending to be a comic book trope

@@GENXJOPLIN I think you're saying he shouldn't have been arrested for selling drugs, but do you really think drug dealers are going to give up and get a job at McDonald's? Or do you think they're just going to transition to a different illegal way of making money? Remember, pheonix spent his life learning how to punch people, which has exactly 0 relevance to the job market after you turn 30

I love the "Dark Knight" quotes and references.
Yes, being charged with selling drugs is literally like being found out a serial killer. What a perfect analogy. A really good way with words.

As someone who lived in Seattle the SPD are one of the most careless and dangerously incompetent police forces. Pheonix wasn't perfect but he definitely cares more than anyone in the SPD.

I don't think the SD are that bad, but there aren't enough of them. It's a seriously under staffed department and if there's a serious crime happening or a big event going on, you can forget about them responding to your problem. : ( EDIT And agreed, Phoenix did a lot of good. It's unfortunate he had so many personal problems afterwards.

In my personal experience, all cops are assholes who only care about how many goons they bag, not about actually protecting the people. If we had more people like who were like the rest of the Rain City League, we wouldn’t need any dumbass police forces.

@@NewYorkInitiative Exactly. plus I have a hard time believing he went after any major dealer because if he did, one would think he'd have enough common sense to keep his identity more of a secret. The fact that he didn't even do that well shows he probably only went after the dealers that most people in that market don't care about rather than the major players to make that much of a difference.

He’s not a villain. He’s just a guy in a superhero costume that made some bad decisions
Dude is literally describing the plot of Kick Ass 2
I town has a local hero too, started 3 years ago when he said he woke up at the hospital. He had no memories of his past life, also had no family members. He started living at a group home on the north side where he searched for a job. One day while he was at the store buying woods to burn with the homeless, a robber came to the store trying to rob it. While the robber walk in he completely walked past him at the door without seeing bob. When bob realized the robber didn’t see him. Bob turned around and grabbed an umbrella, then hit the robber with it on the Hand n his gun fell. The robber ran then bob tackle him and sat on him till the cops got there. They ended up arresting both of them because it turned out bob was a escaped mental patient who was placed in the wrong hospital room. After setting the hospital on fire. The Northside will forever remember The Northside Psycho Bob for his heroism and the woods he smked with us.
Great vid! Subbed Ur hilarious bro bro!
My good friend grew up just a few houses down from him and went to the same school. He said throughout the 9 or 10 years he did, that he’s never met a more delusional person in his life. He said this guy took delusional extremism to a whole new level and whatever he was into at the time, he would completely play that role. He also mentioned the dude probably had a shitty home life he was trying to escape from by living out whatever fantasy he was into that week. Most notably he supposedly had a goth phase that he really went overboard with right before he started watching UFC. Which of course we know how the rest of the story goes… Had I not known exactly where this dude grew up I wouldn’t have believed him because the story was so freaking crazy. But honestly the more I learn, the more I realize he wasn’t just bullshitting me at all. Most everything he told me at the time has completely been verified. It’s absolutely insane 😂

I remember watching that documentary about him and the other superhero wannabes years ago. I'm surprised none of them got killed as far as I know. There's a damn good reason Batman doesn't exist irl and a lot the stuff that happened with him backs that up. Also, a trained fighter is legally considered a lethal weapon and they can get in a lot of trouble beating up regular folks
