Why hasn't there been a discussion about this guy?

Do a wiki search and then after the shock, make your comments.

I think that video might be a parody. He looks like he's trying to do a PSA and they look like they are making fun of it. I did hear that they are getting a TV show.

Last week, he tried to break up a fight between two guys in Downtown Seattle.  He had one guy restrained, when the other guy pulled a gun.  The guy with the gun broke his nose. 

I don't know about this guy.  He could find himself in a bad situation one day.

My wife has banned me from going there to be the first super villain. The batman movies were right ... costumed heroes will escalate things.

Thinking about it if somebody well trained in Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, and Muay Thai they might be able to pull off being an actual super hero. I'm skilled in Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, I know techniques in Krav Maga, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu, and Karate. So I'm pretty capable of defending myself or others in a fight. Though I don't want to go out and dress up in a costume and search for crime to fight, but if I did ever see someone in need I would help them and have the ability to. So superhero a little crazy, but not completely outlandish to me.

Yes but all your Jiu Jitsu, Krav Maga, and Muay Thai won't help if the person as a gun.

Actually I know Krav Maga techniques to disarm somebody. It wouldn't help if they just came in shooting, but if somebody pulled a gun threatening (which is the more likely) I could disarm them in less then a second, as well as breaking their index finger in the process.
