Real-Life Superhero Phoenix Jones Gets Real-Life Nose Broken
January 11th,2011 Author Albert Ching
Last week,when the world wasn’t busy falling in love with the homeless man with a golden voice,they were mildly interested in Seattle’s real-life superhero,Phoenix Jones. The natural first question most people asked upon hearing about him was,“isn’t he going to get hurt?” The answer:yes. While attempting to break up a fight this past weekend,PJ got kicked in the face,leading to a broken nose. Sounds like it could have been a lot worse,given that,according to a report by Seattle TV station KOMO,Jones was held a gunpoint. Predictably,authorities aren’t happy with it,making Phoenix Jones more of a Spider-Man than a Batman. “Don’t insert yourself into those situations,” a detective said in KOMO’s report. Though in a quote from last week,a police spokesperson was a bit more amenable:“There’s nothing wrong with citizens getting involved with the criminal justice process – as long as they follow it all the way through.” The original Phoenix Jones video that made the rounds is after the jump.
