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.\u00a0 But luckily a yellow-vested peacekeeper arrives on the scene.\u00a0 These are community leaders or ex-cons who can intervene to prevent violence.\u00a0 The peacekeeper intervenes by beating the victim in the face with his own cell phone.\u00a0 Eventually the police arrived and swept up what was left of the victim and brought him to a hospital.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.\u00a0 Inspirational.\u00a0 We’re seeing evolution at work.\u00a0 All that’s left is for a stew pot to be procured and the victim to be tossed in for dinner.<\/p>\n
Peacekeeping indeed.<\/p>\n
