The video in the linked article shows a Chicago street gang dragging a driver from his car to be beaten to a pulp and robbed. But luckily a yellow-vested peacekeeper arrives on the scene. These are community leaders or ex-cons who can intervene to prevent violence. The peacekeeper intervenes by beating the victim in the face with his own cell phone. Eventually the police arrived and swept up what was left of the victim and brought him to a hospital.
The peacekeeper was identified from the video feed and was found in possession of the victim’s wallet. It’s good to see that community activists are stepping up and teaching the youth of our cities how it’s done.
Using the victim’s phone as a weapon is reminiscent of that scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey when the ape-man experiments with the large animal bone and figures out what an effective tool for killing his prey it would be. Inspirational. We’re seeing evolution at work. All that’s left is for a stew pot to be procured and the victim to be tossed in for dinner.
Peacekeeping indeed.

Rule 1: Always go armed.
Rule 2: If the laws allow only criminals to be armed, do not go there.
Rule 3: If you must go there, go armed – better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Honestly, I expected two results of the “Peacekeepers”. This is the first scenario.
The second will be when a Peacekeeper shows up and becomes victim number 2.
If it hasn’t already happened – it will.
They keep saying that it was worse in the 1970’s. My answer is give it a little more time. There isn’t any bottom in sight yet.
I was in Chi-town in the 70s. They never had the equivalent of 6 mass shootings in one week.
Let’s see if they eventually beg for relief.
