Phoenix Jones

Seattle Superhero Phoenix Jones (no relationship to Basketball Jones) was arrested this past weekend after trying to break up a fight using his super powers: a can of pepper spray. (Jones is not affiliated with the NYPD).

The caped crusader denies allegations of assault saying he was just doing the right thing and fulfilling his role as a crime fighter.

Here’s Jones defending himself yesterday on Seattle TV.

Dangerous Minds is a compendium of oddities, pop culture treasures, high weirdness, punk rock and politics drawn from the outer reaches of pop culture. Our editorial policy, such that it is, reflects the interests, whimsies and peculiarities of the individual writers. And sometimes it doesn't. Very often the idea is just "Here's what so and so said, take a look and see what you think." I'll repeat that: We're not necessarily endorsing everything you'll find here, we're merely saying "Here it is." We think human beings are very strange and often totally hilarious. We enjoy weird and inexplicable things very much. We believe things have to change and change swiftly. It's got to be about the common good or it's no good at all. We like to get suggestions of fun/serious things from our good-looking, high IQ readers. We are your favorite distraction.
